First rock slider/air tank/ step built
I've had an idea on how I wanted my rock sliders to look, and got around to building the first one last weekend.
The idea was that they should be:
- rock sliders
- tree protectors
- Air tanks
- steps
- side recovery points
- Jacking points
all in one unit.
I started out with a 75mm x 50mm x 3.2mm beam, and cut out the interference points with the main bulkhead bolts using a plasma cutter, and angled the front to be the same profile as the mudguard.

The main front attachment point is the bulkhead 19mm bolt and the rear attaches to the two outriggers.

There are 2 tabs which match up to the original LR tinwork to stop the sliders flexing left to right too, but no photos of them.
