[Mitchymem16]

If anyone has drawings or specs that would be great! Mainly just of the brackets and spaces between them
Cheers

use the front gearbox cross member as your front mount,then add 2 more mounts back,one in the midle and one as far back as you can get it on the chassis ,jump under and mesure it up mate,fairly straight forward.

How do we go for that airbags when doing our own sliders? Sorry if this has been covered.

It has all been flogged to death on here. Some say it affects deployment, others (including me) say it doesn't. Have a search and read all of the information and make a decision from there. They are covered by insurance providing they are a legal modification, and basically unless you're welding them to the chassis your fine

Cheers for that. Will search.

I asked the ADR testing facility in Adelaide about rock sliders and side air bag deployment

http://www.autosafety.com.au/

We are the largest Australian test facility for independent evaluation of automotive accessories.

Rock sliders are popular accessories amongst 4WD enthusiasts and if not correctly designed and fitted the
rock sliders can affect side airbags.

We provide technical expertise in how to design and position rock sliders and side steps to prevent an
accidental side airbag deployment.

I enclose a leaflet about the testing required.

Side step testing:-

Side Step Impact testing is carried out to stimulate crumpling of the step and ensure
correct side airbag deployment. The maximum allowable crumpling deceleration for a
side step is 5% of the actual or comparable vehicle structure over> 2ms. Using a specially
constructed pendulum, the side step was mounted onto the stimulated chassis and
impacted with a steel plate, padded with a panel of plywood, mass qual to the vehicle
kerb + driver mass.

This is used to verify that the side step mountings are unlikely to have
a detrimental effect on the normal operation of the airbag system of
the vehicle
