Thread: Chassis mounted rock sliders?

Look at sliders mounted to the sills, much better option

I don't have detailed pics of mine I made, not gonna take pics now as its flogging with rain but its a piece of angle screwed then sikaflexed to the sills with some 75mmx 25mm box, looks nice and neat and very effective

but chassis mount has alot of flex and alot of wieght

Hey Tim
The sliders on our Rangie are chassis mounted via plates welded to the chassis with M12 threaded holes in them.The slider bolts to these. But the body of the slider sits hard against the sill as well and they have endured a lot of testing trust me.Just make sure if you chassis mount to do a body lift etc first.If I can get down to Glenreagh over Easter you can pick it to pieces.

I'm pretty sure Tusker when he had his D1 had something similar made by KLR years ago. Chassis mounted but also sat against the sills aswell. A nice design because then you limit the sill forces to upwards only forces and any lateral forces go directly into the chassis - so less prone to sill bending. That said, my ones bolt directly to the sill and haven't bent, but thats not at all to say a good landing wont bend them.

I wanted to mount to the Chassis so i didn't bend my sill
But i was wondering if you have long arms bolted to the chassis wouldn't that cause to much leverage?
