Here is where XLT (and others) can follow the build of his new sliders. I like watching people's builds day-by-day, so hopefully others will dig this too.

Just some metal taking up room in the garage.

The larger stuff is 2x3" and the smaller is 2x2" (all 1/4" wall). :bowdown:

XLT won't be able to damage these things. They will be burly!

This is about as far as I got tonight. I was having some issues with my shielding gas gauge. It's all good tomorrow though.

Anyway, XLT's are basically the same design as the mine except for they'll stick out away from the rocker panel a little more to act as a step (which I wish I would have done with mine). Also, since it will be further out in the elements of the trail, I angled both the front and back of his (while I only did the front on mine). So once these are done I'm going to be way jealous of his. :P
