    Are there any places that you’d recommend for good experience, price and quality for rock sliders in the Seattle area?

    thanks!

    There's a place in Enumclaw that makes them, don't have any first hand experience with them. I looked nationally and ended up buying from the furthest place away. They bolted right up and couldn't be happier.

    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    The place in Enumclaw is XO Fabrication. I personally haven't used them, but have heard good things. If you can get ahold of him @JimSnell does some fabrication and he's good, but I think he's crazy busy with his job and life in general right now. I'll second Mobtown. They're a lot more expensive now than when I bought mine and shipping ain't cheap but, like @hr206 said, they bolted right up and can take a beating. If you can wait some, I bought mine during there Labor Day sale three years ago. I saved enough to offset the shipping for the most part. BAMF is another company to try. I've run into a few people over the years that have them and really like them. I'm guessing shipping would be cheaper since they are out of the San Francisco area.

    We really need a full fab shop up here. There's some places in BC but fuck all that. I think a fella could make a killing specializing in Jeep and Toyota armor and bumpers

    I'm currently fabbing up my own in Seattle. I'm a novice welder working out of my garage in Interbay. I'm working on my own ride now and learning as I go but thinking about branching into doing work for others. Feel free to pm if you're interested. I got the welders, saws and tube bender.

    I recently saved a buddy's 97 Tacoma with horrible frame rot using Safe T Caps. It was a big job. I could put my fist through his frame. At this point I think sliders would be relatively easy lol.

    A local fab shop would be nice. Assuming if they could fab up sliders and skids, they could do a tube style bed rack to go around my softopper. I'm in! I'm always down to support locals!

    Looks like a good project. I'd be down to give you some business as well. Now to get the wife on board. I'll tell her it's a step to help her in the truck!

    This looks great! Are you taking the tubes somewhere to have them bent? Or do you have a tube bender? I have a welder and want to make some sliders but idk how people get tubes bent without owning a tube bender

    I am scheduled to have them do my sliders next Monday. Weld on, $650 installed. Doesn't include any paint or coating, but I'm ok with that.

    Tied several boat anchors to my truck to destroy MPG.
    There was a PNW/local dude who posted on here that made sliders, but I don't remember his name or if he still does.

    I also got the Mobtown sliders...I wanted bolt ons, and I liked how theirs attach.
