ok well i have talked to my friends and they are willing to make sliders and tube bumpers for us nissan guys. so im going to be running the sale part for them from here. the thing i need from you guys is style you guys like send me pictures of them, and i will see what we can do for them. I know that price is an issue for most of us guys so im trying to keep costs down so they are affordable. The same thing goes for bumpers send me some pictures of what you like and i will see what i can do.
thanks
justin

Here's a picture of my a/c sliders. I bought these mainly for the design. They weigh 50lb each. A lot of people like this design.

any decently priced tube front bumper that can hold a winch and work with an SAS would be an automatic buy from me. Just functional and simple.

where would these be coming from?

they would be coming from paradise ca an hour and a half north of sacramento ca

I'd like the same style for my 89 path but with a support in the middle and the 2 outer ones closer to the edge.

sounds good to me i think i would like a few more bars under there too. ok well i will show them this and see what we can come up with and maybe get a price. im going to come up with a rear tube bumper with a hitch setup this week and see how it goes so i will keep you updated.
Hey bagger what are you looking for like something with a stinger on the front and winch mount and just real simple

Those sliders are from Skid Row, they don't need anymore bracing, they are super strong, have not come anywhere need bending them, can jack up truck anywhere on them and will support all weight no matter what.

Justin,

I wasnt even thinking of a stinger. maybe something like this

would be nice to have a slider strong enough to use a jack on it and get both wheels of ground for dropping rocks under the tires. Keep that in mind when selecting material thickness.
same thing fot the tube bumper(which I'm sure it will if a hitch is integrated) that I'm looking foward to seeing.
Could a front tube bumper integrate a front hich for those who want to use reciver winces?

Actually those sliders are from Shrock. Their website doesn't show them anymore but they'll still make a set if you want.

I think a rear bumper with some wraparound protection would be pretty good.

We jacked up a Calmini slider with a hi-lift. I was surprised at how much deflection there was into the rocker panel.

Justin when you have the shop manufacture the products keep in mind strength. Bumpers and sliders are strong lines of defense for your truck.

I know I use my front bumper as a tool off-road. ARB sure makes one He$$ of a stout bumper. Also keep in mind you have your bumper to strengthen up your frame.

Sliders, your sliders should be able to take a slam from the weight of the vehicle and not bend.

I'm also interested in a rear winch capable wrap around bumper.

As for my sliders, I bought them from a/c. I don't know who made them but They were shipped from Texas. They are well worth the cash. Even my neighbor commented on how well the welds looked before I painted them.

I've been wanting a rear bumper with a hitch receiver for a while. I like Richardz work on the silver fronty with the wrap around protection and width enough to be used as a step http://www.4x4parts.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&B...arch=true#Post489848 Definitely interested in checking out what you come up with.

I would like to have a recessed winch/ tow hitch bumper kind of like this design.

another thought, what if you used square tubing. it would make it easier for a hi lift jack to get frim stance on it and also offers better balance for somone to stand on it. a flat surface may also allow sliders slide the vehice on rock toward the tires rather thatn side to side (only to hi center on other belly parts).

At least those are the reasons given on some other brand I cant remeber where I saw them.
