Question about Marlin Crawler's Sliders
« on: Sep 08, 2005, 08:01:41 AM »
I purchased the MC sliders and I understand how to mount them, but I also received some "boomerang" pieces of metal and wasn't sure what they are for?

No pics, but they are about an 1/8" thick and about 3 inch wide in a boomerang shape.  The MC sliders came with about 10 of them.

The gussets are optional. You can use them on the frame where the legs weld on.

OO, i see.  Use them, they will help a lot when you slide along rocks, your frame won't bend as much.

Thanks for the input.  I am going to weld on the sliders this weekend, so I will plan to weld the gussets onto the frame. :biggthumpup:
