Show us your Rock Sliders

[Diegothecat]

its funny when i went to one nut and bolt shop and got 4 16mm bolts, nylex nuts, washers and 4 nuts and bolt for the front angle section. Went to another nut and bolt shop after i needed the 2 other bolts for across the top of the chassis and can you believe they cost more than all the other bolts, i think they stung me over $20 for the 2 bolts, if it wasnt friday arvo and i knew the other shop would still be open i would have told them to shove it. oh well i wont go back to that shop again.

here you are mate...i made up a plate that extends from the slider and picks up the crossmember bolts, theres also a piece of RHS from the slider to the chassis to give the plate some strength...havent had them flex even the slightest bit yet

also what angle did your bend your tube at?

45 at front and 90 at rear i think...but my pipe bender has a very large radius so it doesnt look like these angles once cut to where i wanted them to sit

hi mate sliders look good just about to make some for myself, what angles have you come off at the chassis and from the brackets up, if you know what i mean???

What are they made out of? I'm about to make a set out of 50mm dia 5mm wall steel. Overkill??

definitely overkill. 3mm maximum is all you need. i made mine out of 70x50 RHS and 50mmx2.8mm pipe

Will be heavy!

I think 40NB 3.2 wall is the go

here are the final pics of my sliders:




where they join the bash plate mount (cassis rail)


We used 3.2mm heavy guage steel pipe (1.6 is piss weak, 5mm is overkill) car stands, two car jacks, a level and a tape measure. this way we were able to get it right where i wanted it 30mm below the door while opened, so if a massive hit should it bend it still wouldnt faul on the door. will post a few more picks as soon as my photobucket stops crapping it self

hope this helps
