Another reason I prefer SA sliders....

[Matt]

Corey, unfortunately it seems like its the trails that seem benign that cause the damage. The section I was going up looked like something I would easily climb through.... next thing I know my rear end slid left and pushed my door into a root.

I know your fiance doesnt want you to get sliders because she thinks you'll try harder stuff.... and theres some truth to that for sure. But the reality is they also prevent damage such as this.... even on the easy stuff.

great point! I definitely dont want damage especially with how OCD I am, but I also bought my XK to have fun and know its part of the game. Sliders are coming soon for sure..

My view is this, I drove my new to me clean unmolested XK to AC for a bachelor party and its gets broken windows, scratched paint and scratched leather!! Unfortunately people will do damage to your rig, in my eyes Id rather have some scratches or something happen while Im enjoying it and wheelin rather than someone else doing it for me, guess it will help me sleep better!

Unfortunately, the SA sliders wouldnt have prevented the damage to my doors due to the ravine I was in. However If I had the SA sliders and 2 more inches of lift the damage wouldnt have happened.

Yeah I know this hobby will always involve some repairs hopefully all minor. I know our XKs as is CAN make it through blues/blacks but I think that is truely pushing this vechicle to its max offroad capabilities as far as rock crawling goes (Talking about 2" and 32s). Now this just might be my conservative self talking and not wanting big damage on my rig but I am not sure about exploring blues/blacks with my XK. Again, this is my only vechicle to get me back and forth to work. If I had my XK paid off and a seperate DD then I'm sure I'd go on blues/blacks without hesitation.

This is only my personal opinion from the two times I've gone to RC with you guys. I know most of you have much more experience with this hobby as well as the abilitity to pretty much fix anything.


EDIT: I also agree with sliders no matter what trail your doing :P just to make that a note

[Matt]

I hear ya. I thought you were saying you didn't need sliders because you want to stay on greens.

[06JeepXKHEMI]

I hear you man! Hopefully Ill have her paid off in a yr so I can get a tad bit more crazy with her..

[Core XK]

lol Yeah

I am hoping for Sliders NEXT x-mas

[Matt]

I dont know... i have a feeling you'll have them before then...

The extended bars are worth it. I wish I would not have gotten the 4XGuards.

I'm thinking I will have some side bars added to my 4x sliders
