No side steps are coming off for the trip...
I am looking at some sliders from a company called Shrockworks out of Houston

I'm not sure how serious you are about getting slider from shrockworks but I hope you're not in a hurry. Shrockworks is made to order. Last year I attempted to order sliders from shrockworks and he told me it would be 3 months before he could have them shipped.

Thanks but I do have my rubi rails, I want something a little beefier. If I can't gets something by this trip I will just use them. Do you have any ideas for a bolt on.

Great pics! Can't wait.

Seeing the jerry cans got me thinking. Any need for aux fuel cans on this trip? I get about 220 miles to a tank and start planning refills around 200. I've got a rotopax and mount on my list which is pretty low costwise to most of the other "upgrades". Just wondering if it's worth it for this trip.

I was thinking the same thing. I asked Jackal01 if we needed to carry fuel since he's been out in that area of Colorado before. He said we wouldn't have to carry, unless you absolutely want to of course. I'm still debating whether or not I'll do roto for the trip, but sounds like we don't need it.

Twice now I've been in a situation where I almost had to pull my rotopax off to use it, and that's here in Texas. Once on the way to EDRA and another time cruising the hill country. Definitely could've been avoided had I been paying better attention to my fuel level. I've never once regretted carrying a 2 gallon reserve on the back of my rig and it's never been a problem on the trails. If you ever make it out to Trees, you'll soon realize the benefits and peace of mind that come with it.
