GOAT Fab slides installed w/pics

[ArizonaWildtrak]

Just got my GOAT slides w/top plate installed. Couldn’t beat the Black Friday sale Adam was running. I was happily surprised to see they’re angled up about 20° which will really help slide over boulders while off-roading. Quality is top-notch, and I like that the bracket is welded to the slide. Included hardware is much better than Ford’s from the OEM steps.

Yeah, I got my 4dr sliders while they were doing the Black Friday all of November special. I liked many of their aspects, and I think they look good.

Killer look. I have a set on order. How was the install? Do you see the pinch weld and do you need the pinch weld covers? Thanks.

Yeah, I love mine. I have a 4 door, but I can attest to their strength, tested mine out in Sand Hollow, they held the weight of the bronco fine.

Have a set from BF, waiting to install this weekend. Any tips?

I used a couple jack stands to hold them up close to where they bolt up. You can rotate them up to where the bolts will be close and start a few. If you have help, much easier, they are stout.

On mine one side fell on in alignment with the bolt holes, the other side was off a little and I had to file out the holes a little to line up. I spoke to Adam at Goat, I believe this has to do with the way they join the seems on the body, rather than the sliders. They weld their sliders in fixtures.

Very Happy with them as I said. They will absolutely take a beating and protect your truck.

Install was easy. They're pretty heavy, so you'll need to get a bolt going on one side to hold it up, then get the other side going by hand before you use tools. Not really on the pinch weld. I opted not to get them and don't regret that decision.

They're fairly heavy, so if you can, have someone hold up one end so you can get a bolt going by hand to hold it up. Then get the other bracket going by hand and get your ratchet and finish the rest. I did it myself and it wasn't too hard.
