Anyone have experience with Avid Offroad sliders?

I'm in the market for a pair and came across some reasonably priced ones from Avid Offroad based out of Queen Creek. Any of you guys have experience with this company and the quality of their sliders?

Searching the forums doesn't bring up much and a lot of the product links appear to be dead.

 

No experience myself.

THis guy seemed to like them a few years back

Thanks. Reading the post I didn't realize they don't even bolt onto the frame. I'll pass.

 

There are plenty of options in the valley.
I got these and have been happy, other than powder coat chipping where I hit stuff.
But that is more of a problem with my driving than the product

Ive heard good things about SDHQ as well

They make bolt on slider and weld on sliders. You might have seen the steps option that doesn't bolt on to the frame. Give them a call or email they do tw discount

 

I'm asking about Avid Offroad because I came across a used like-new pair for $600. It does look like these ones are frame mounted.

 

I've been running a set of avid sliders for years!! Great product . Brandon is good people.

 

I was looking at RCI for mine but, the lead time + shipping + required liftgate service =$$$$$

So, I bought local at SDHQ for only a bit more money, they had them in stock! Had a quality (zinc-rich primer + color) finish applied at Powdercoating Arizona in Avondale. Just got them back and they look outstanding!

Bolting on next weekend or so.

 

lol those are a big yikes from me dawg

 

Turns out some do some don't, they make both versions. The one I found for sale are bolted to the frame. And for $600 sounds like a good deal.

 

Not like bolt to frame is really that great either. You really need hot-swapability that bad that'd you'd pay double?

 

Not sure what this means. Pay double?

I went with these guys for my 1st gen -- weld on is stronger and typically cheaper

 

That's a good price. I knew weld on was stronger but didn't think they were cheaper because you have to factor in the labor of welding if you don't do it yourself.

Also I'm trying to keep it local.

 

Had Avid sliders on my 2nd gen and went with them again on my 3rd gen. Wanted to stay local and like @chrslefty said, Brandon is good people.

 

Yup. Avid even installed 'em back in 2020. No complaints.

 

I can't seem to get ahold of these guys. Assuming the phone number on their website is correct I never get an answer.

 

Sold my Tacoma but had them on it for 70k miles. No issues and worked really well

 

Purchased a set October 1st, still waiting and getting impatient

 

Any of you guys know how much a set weighs without the top plate? I emailed them several days ago but they're really bad about getting back to you
