Thread: Drawings for sliders/mounting positions

Wow what a coincidence. You've started 2 threads with the same subject as the only two I have made myself. Must be heading down the same upgrade path I guess.

Let us know how you go. Maybe use my existing thread I made, so all of it stays together.

Sill Protectors aka Rock Sliders fabrication

I've made some drawings and spoken to a reputable fabricator. Just need to do final dimension checks and get them to the fabricator. I planned on using the two 1 inch holes the chassis near the transmission mount and near the rear trailing arms. But its a work in progress that I hope to have the prototype done before xmas this year. I'm designing em stronger than the rockrover ones as they could have 1 tonne sitting on them about 200mm cantilever form the chassis.

Haha,
I guess it's the 1st thing that springs to mind, it's the first off roader I've had that has to be my car as well and the most expensive so want to protect it.

Been down a few threads but never come across any drawings. I've got acess to CAD so can make up good drawings and models pretty easily. At my old job I had access one of the best equipped machine shops/ work shops in NZ, and everyone took extra special care for home jobs Really missing that here, especially seeing how few aftermarket parts are available.

Have you got anywhere with diff protectors? Only found the bulkly slider type will just load up the housing where it's mounted, probably worse than nothing IMO!
