Hello fellow Titan owners,
I decided that the next modification to my 2nd gen non XD Titan will be a hybrid rock sliders/running boards. I'm not going hardcore rock crawling with my Titan but I would like some protection for my rocker panels (well, there's no rocker panels anymore since the doors fully goes down the body). I found that Rocky Road Outfitters in Utah has 4 different types of rock sliders for the non XD's with prices from $500 to $800 plus shipping. Rocky Road's rock sliders can be bolted-on but you do need to drill holes in the frame in order to bolt the sliders on.
I went to a local off road fabrication shop and the owner quoted me $1,600 for fabrication and installation (welded on) of rock sliders of my design. I know $1,600 is a huge amount of money for rock sliders but the shops main area of expertise is building rock crawlers so there's little to no doubt that the rock sliders they're going to fabricate will be over-built for my purposes. The owner was kind enough to show me around his shop and the work that they do and the craftsmanship is top notch, he's even got a few professional athletes as clients. I've got a few more fabrication shops to visit and get some quotes from but I was wondering how much would you folks spend on legit rock sliders?
Thanks,
Ross
