Rock Slider questions

Postby Luxasaurus on Tue, 10 May 2011 6:47 +0000

Well i went out for a night run with Miller (The ranger boy :lol:) and we went over a steep hill and my side steps got caught up and ive broken a few brackets off, Ill be welding the back on at work but ive got a question with the rocker sliders

If i buy rock sliders im also wanting to buy the TJM T15 bar and get the side protection which comes with side steps. Now can i remove these steps and weld the side protection to the rocker sliders?

Because i dont really wish for side steps again as rock sliders seem more benefical for the money you pay and well if i can actually get these steps free and cutting the bar to suit the rock slider then welding it up might make it better for me

Has anyone else thought of doing this? If youve done it can you please post some pictures up so i can see how you cut the side bar

Side bar - If im saying the wrong word for them i mean the bar you can buy that goes over the wheel arches (Sorry)
For the tailgaters, If you think im going slow now. Wait till i hit my low gears

Could not see why you could not mate, have though to do the same thing for mine. Just need someone to fabricate it for you

Side bar = Brush bars ;)

Your a boiler maker, take advantage of it and where you work, build your own from scratch exactly how you want.

Hi Guys,
I'm living the chats on here. I'm guessing no one has started building something like this and selling it yet? Anyone in Stdney wanna help me build a pair? I'll pay!

Cheers
