Topic: rock sliders

I was wondering if a body lift is needed to fit rock sliders? its a 79 hilux w/o a body lift.

No, a BL isn't necessary.

will the marlin crawler sliders fit? or do they have to be custom made?

[Snowtoy]

Yes they will fit.  You will either have to weld them on, or have mounts welded made so you can bolt them on.  You will want to replace the truck body mounts before you install the sliders, the old worn out mounts allow the body to rock side to side and will cause the body top rattle on the sliders.

thanks, i think ima get some of those soon.  .  . one more ? how do u earn marlin points? . 

[Snowtoy]

They were originally "turtle points" that you won/lost trying to catch a turtle that moved across the browser, but were then changed to karma points.  The points are now given/taken away by your fellow members, they are supposed to be given for being helpful, or taken away for giving disinformation, being rude, or abusive, etc.  The +/- total really doesn't say what it should, all you have to do to be deep into the minus is have friends who think it is funny to take yours(nothing is gained by doing it), or get into an argument in an off topic section and become petty.
