DiscoWhite is the slider expert - maybe PM him and he can send you some pix and measurements. I know TJS-70Y is currently modding a set of DW's 4 door sliders to fit his 2 door Rangie.

Always seen the upward curve. But the amount of sideways curve in those surprised me.

Is the Rangie sill is bent inwards or outwards, I have never noticed?

DWE ones you know you can lift the side of the car off the ground - I do this regularly

[TJS-70Y]

DWE ones look a thousand times better than those Rovertym ones I reckon.

so will i get cranky when i see the dvd??

cheers phil

does anyone have a thought for them selves these days??

I was going to get soem made but decided I'd have a crack myself. Used 50x75x3mm thick RHS, 5x75mm strip and welded them together. I made the ends (not the best, the stick welder can be a bit unflexable at times), measured the holes and there you go. I aslo used some roff and gutter silicon to bond them to the sill so they don't work themselves loose. So far so good and only just had to re-pint them (the cheapish paint wears off after a few hits on the rocks)

May I add that I had to cut a small piece out where the b-pillar comes down as I wanted them mounted as close to the body as possible.

Cost me less than $100 and a few beers for post fab relaxation :twobeers::twobeers:. I'll see if I can find some pics.
