Just some quick shots of my new Skink sliders and RL rear bumber.The light grey is a temp color until MOAB is over(probally going to have to repaint anyway) it's more to get poeples attention for awhile.Yes I know the exhaust looks funny,it'll have to wait for later to get fixed.

Dang, you must have got home and went straight to the computer to post those. :shock:

Now you can update your sig. Did Ted come over and help you throw the bumper on, or did you do the whole install yourself? I wasn't paying much attention, since I was busy working on the top secret project on Ted's junk.

Yeah I pretty much went straight to the computer and posted pics :lol:

.20ft away and you did see Ted help me,getting old Marty :wink:

.Yeah Ted helped sit it on and I took it from there,half my paint on the rear end would be gone if I tried sitting it on myself (stupid arm).I just so amazed on how good that bumber looks,might just sit and stare at it all night long :lol:

That looks sweet!! What did you use around your the round part of your sliders? Grip tape? Did you put that on before you painted or after? Thanks. I'll have my sliders on by next week!! Thanks.

Yeah it's grip tape,installed it a 2 days after painting the sliders.Since I stand on my sliders to get to the roofrack the grip tape keeps me from slipping off.

So what are you going to do with the exhaust?

I'm either going to cut the tips off and move them back about 4-5 inches or have the tubes bent up to bring them closer to the bumber.I really haven't decided yet,I'm just glad the bumber is on for now.

Love that colour. Can you give me a breakdown of the combo you have going in the lift?

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Apr 19, 2007 6:46 pm

Looks great and yes it really does show it off that color. On the exhaust you may be able to bring them out at an angle to the sides (like older Chev. pickups,) something to think about, Would be different. IF I ever get one thats what I am going to try. Have a set of OEM Road Runner exhaust tips I never got put back on mine back in 1973, thought those would be cool looking out at an angle with the RL bumper.

Neatus · **Posted:** Thu Apr 19, 2007 7:13 pm

Wow, check out the improved departure angle. Guess I better get one on order.

Looks great mate, I love the new RL bumper. Can I ask, are your lower control arms just painted or are they after market?

Skink Super Slider Features (Part #SS3-KJ)

KJ Skink Super Sliders include the same Standard Features as Original Skink Sliders, however they have a round 1.75" x .120 wall outer tube that extends from the Standard Skink Sliders.

Just a silly question here but why is everything purple in this pic ? lol! :oops:

chetos · **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2007 8:56 am

You don't like purple sliders??

Look at the tree too. The color is off.

RkyMtnKJ · **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2007 11:30 am

spray painting without a placemat would be my guess, i think its cool they're a different color, makes your mods stand out more. Ill be painting my skidplate bright blue

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2007 1:45 pm

Those are bare metal. Not painted. Camera problems by the operator. Nothing more.

RkyMtnKJ · **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2007 3:29 pm

ah makes sense, you can kinda see the bare metal on the tips

Finally,RL bumber&Skinks are on!
