Well done, the truck is looking great. Very nice, tasteful work. I'm jealous.

Do the sliders seem to flex parallel to the cab and bed? I've been wondering if a split slider is necessary when I build for my truck.

Well, I haven't gotten it flexed out since they were built. I've seen both single piece and two piece rock sliders before. I've never noticed any separate flex between the bed and the cab, but I thought it'd be a good idea. Just to be safe.

WOW those are awesome, Jealous over here as well.
