What that came faster than we thought. Like many others, we updated our original 2021 Badlands order to a soft top to get a 4D Bronco this century. That 2021 showed up in Dec. of 21. We ordered our 22' that same week, also a soft top. When our 22' Badlands came in March of 22', we let...

FIXED IT! Should work now for you.

Thats outstanding! Rubicon and Broncos are a great combo!

So close. We had been trying to devise a simpler way (to lower cost) to mount the front foot to the frame, as we did with the 4D. However, Ford just did not give us enough access to the inside of the frame on the 2D's. The forward sub-mount we have been using is still the best way to get...

Moving our wherehouse, rather give you a blowout deal than move them, 40% off w/free shipping* the last kits in Radflo's Suspension kits in stock. Three full kits remain. (as of the time of posting this) When they sell out, the sale is over. Use the code 6GDISCOUNT. Once we get settled...

@broox Great feedback, thank you. It's great seeing the pros, for sure, and they do look great on your truck. The Cons are very helpful to hear what the values are that make it on your list. As the owner of Metal-tech 4x4, (100% family-owned and not owned by a venture capital group), this...

It is the difference cost-wise of the main rail material. The MT4x4 Sidewinders with powder coating and the added-in step plates to match how the MT4x4 4D Step sliders come (step plates are welded in place for the step sliders) make the Sidewinders $146.06 less in cost. The $73 per side...

Metal-tech 4x4 sliders carry a lifetime warranty. In MT4x4's 24 years, we have replaced less than six sliders out of thousands built and sold. We build them to the maximum point of protection but don't build them to where if they ever take a significant hit (usually borderline...

We made our first sliders that are out now (both 4D and 2D) as full frame-mounted, yet flat-decked "step sliders". You can wheel them hard, they will protect your truck and they extend further from the side of the truck. (again, step sliders) The Sidewinders were in response to the request...

Absolutely. By having spares and the few tools needed, you keep the FORD-engineered "fuse" in place. Running non-brake/bendable tie rods moves the fail point into the rack. I will happily swap out a tie rod on the trail; it's easy to do, with no grease/oil and just a few tools. A bent OEM...

Published on our website. @mcinfantry Truck looks great! Great to see your out doing work with the sliders! Mark

@Bored Bending main bodies is not just the fault of that material. It’s how that material is supported by the legs and the feet to the frame. The legs and feet are what will allow the main rail to flex more than it needs too*. We back our sliders with a limited lifetime warranty. You bend...

Great question. 1.75" DOM round tubing with a 0.120 wall is our US Trademarked 2-stage Rub rail. The main body's square tubing with 45* ramps on both ends is 2" X 2" with 3/16 or 0.188" walls, and the legs to the frame are 3" x 1.5" boxes with 1/4" or 0.250" walls. Mounting feet that...

Happy to respond to this, drawing from 35+ years of offroading and just under 24yrs doing it and building parts professionally. Some comp guys have used cutting boards for years, AKA UHMW plastic glides. At the same time, some comp guys have also stopped using them, too, opting for steel or...

How we have done it since 2000. Everything we build is due to something we have encountered on the trail at some point. Not just "our trail" but all across North America, from Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, South Dakota, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Southern and...

It's all about moving forward and at times backward on the trail. The Sidewinders are meant for hard trail use. We are keeping the kick out tucked in since it does not take much for it to do its job on the Bronco since the rear tire/quarter panel is tucked in tight for the departure angle by...

We just released our Badlands Running the Rubicon trail video! If you have seen our thread telling the story, this is the video. This video features our new, now available Metal-tech 4x4 Sidewinder frame-mounted rocksliders. These are a 25* angle aggressive rockslider 100% frame mounted with...
