DUDE! I think I might have just had a sick idea! I know there's AT LEAST 4 guys on here who want/have been talking about building some sliders. What would you think about getting and few of us together. Someone brings a welder, someone else brings a chopsaw, grinder, etc. Everyone goes in on some square stock and paint and we make a day of it!!
Then we set a day a couple weeks later to go thrash em!!!

You guys should check out the design on Rustys sliders as far as the pinch weld mounting. They actually sandwich the pinch weld instead of just bolting to it. Looks like a good design.
