    *Custom ROCK SLIDERS for a Custom LAND CRUISER*
    Our buddy, Alan, from Yankum Ropes, needed a little help protecting his Lexus LX450 rock crawler from damage when hitting the trails. They decided the best method was to add custom made rock sliders made by the main Fab Rat himself, Paul. Now not only will the rock sliders protect his rig, but they'll look awesome while they're at it! Check it out!
    Make sure to follow along with us as we build and fabricate cool stuff!!
