Thread: D2 sliders arrived today

Hey mate, those sliders look like a solid bit of kit.
I assume you've had a good crack at them now, is there anything you would change given that you had them custom fabbed?

Preeetty keen to sort myself out a set!

Hi,

I have an X-Rox too. Only, when I got mine (2011) they didn't provide any of the main bolts - The 4 that bolt to the chassis:



I used the original bolts, but I think they are too narrow:







If you grab the bar (where the ariel lugs are), you can push-pull the bar around 50mm. They're as tight as I can get it.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the bolts may have not been original. Or, I got the first X-Rox build.

Do you know what the bolt size is?

Cheers.

Do you think it has better approach angle than the ARB bar. It still seem to hang down a fair way.

I wish I could get a body lift but it will never happen in Vic. Maybe I better move to QLD.

Les Richmond Automotive with their White Tiger +2" suspension spacer kit have had customers vehicles engineered with it fitted. The details of the engineer is on their website.

Hey mate,

Very happy with them. The only thing I would consider, although it suits my disco with the wide flares is to bring the nerf bar a bit closer to the sills.

I have 100mm space between the slider and nerf bar and my concern is slipping through the gap and breaking a leg

I will change mine and plate the underside so it cant happen.

Hey mate,

When I fitted mine I used either 12mm of 1/2" bolts.

I had a similar issue as on outside I have 1/2" thick recovery points and on the inside I have 10mm thick bash plate mounts.

I found the only way to get the XROX mounts to compress against the chassis was to place an extra washer each side between the mount and the other plates.

I also didn't use lock nuts, the ones I have are domed on top and I think they have tapered thread, they are designed to stretch onto the bolt thread from memory.

They are excellent but a pain to remove if you need too.
