Is there anyone on the board that makes decent armor? Wanting to slap on a pair of rock sliders before the Walker trip and just don't have time to do it myself.

AARON if i decide to pick up a set of these sliders (which i haven't decided yet, still need wife approval) for myself, then i will pick yours up on sat and bring them to you the same day if you are not to far off the I-5 on my trip home to Oak Harbor.

now CJ, would they be painted and ready for install? also how long will they be cause i will be in my T/A and not my jeep, so i have limited room.

Most the time I don't do the painting on them but I'm not against painting them for you though, if you don't mind flat black I could paint them with the same paint I used last year to shoot my truck OR I could get a can of what ever color you would like in a rattle can, I can shoot a mean rattle can as well my first bumper was rattle caned lol. They are 5' in length and about 1'6" wide they would fit on the back seat no problem at all.

Yes the outside tubing is angled up like the pic I showed you and yes you still can open your door lol. At this time all I have for painting is the flatt black I got left over from painting my jeep (It is a industrial primer not rattle can) and then for other collors would have to be rattle can. I'm working on prices and what not with a local company for powder coating but don't have things lined up fully with that yet.

I can build them if you provide the material. Or I can pick up the material. I`m not working at the moment. I do O.K. work. I`d also want to build me some new ones so you provide material and I`ll build them
