Rock Sliders

[4x4instyle]

Well there all finished and tested. Work and look great.

Ended up powder coating them Satin Black and there not really noticable but very handy. Stand out a bit more now that I put some non-slip tape with a reflective strip in it. Even gives me somwhere to stand when cleaning the windscreen. All made fron 2x1 box steel, so a bit heavy but definetly solid.

Or a DIY induction? I'm keen to give it a crack. Where have you bolted them too

They bolt up to the rear of the engine subframe mount using its bolt as a front mount. The rear is using the fuel tank cover bolt hole as well as the unused bolt mount about 50mm in short of it, then locks into the jack points. As the chassis is so thin, is the reason I used the 2x1 box along its length, I preferred to sacrifice 25mm in clearance for the ability to. Slide over rocks without damage. It also provides a smooth solid surface protecting the whole sil and air tank. If I made another the only change would be to make the step come out a bit more, just to protect the doors a bit more. (in carparks as much as out bush).
Could even be done in alloy but I didn't have a welder to do that,

You should build a perfect sample to cover what you think is best and then send to get copied by a professional manufacturer for you to sell. :-)

Some more detail in the form of a sketch would be really appreciated as I'm keen for some side steps and parking protection.

Can you shed some more light on the "locks into the jack points"?

removed rubber pads and made a 'T' piece bolt that lockes into the chassis hole then through a piece of 2x1 box steel that fits the pad area about 100mm long. the T bolt goes through this block and into the slider. there is also a blocking pad which is about 500mm long that is only bolted to the slider and sits flush to the sil around the door pillar area. The only mods are cutting out areas of the plastic sil trim where the 3 mount pads are so they sit flush to the sil metal, and the tank guard mount was trimmed for the same reason. Will look at making some new mud flaps as I made the step all the way to the front of the lower guard.
