Hey there everyone, here's a little intro for my first post. I live in Utah county and bought my first off road vehicle about 2 years ago and have just started the modifications. My step dad introduced me to the off roading/rock crawling world after he married my mom over 10 years ago. We make a yearly trip to Canyonlands/Moab area where we runs trails and go see different sites. I have been anticipating the day that I would get my own off road vehicle, but didn't really have the right situation until recently. I drive a 2010 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X with the rear e-locker. I just put some bilstien shocks with lift coils, as well as an AAL on the truck to give me a little more clearance along with 33" tires. I am looking forward to getting out and doing more wheeling. I wasn't able to make it at the same time on sunday as the group that went out to Rattlesnake, but I did make it out a couple hours after. We watched a few rigs go up Wayne's World and left after the one guy tipped over at the top.

I do have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I am looking to get some rock sliders, does anyone know of a good fabrication shop around Utah county that could make me some? I tried searching the forum to find any info on this but returned empty handed. Might just be me struggling with the new site.

Here is a picture of the truck, nothing to crazy, but I love it and can't wait to add a little more personality to it.

I don't expect anything free. Your prices already seem lime you forgot to add labor. :D my wife told me yesterday that my truck needs a lift and bigger tires. She said it looks too low. So I may be doing some upgrades in the future. I won't be wheeling it so nothing major. I also will want some sliders on it though. More for a step for my wife to get the car seat in and out. Sorry to steal your thread jcbeart.
