Gday guys here are the beginnings of my sliders for me 2006 Jimny ..Still need too do the other side .

[DMAC]

Somebodies making something.

I have used the same mounting "U" type bracket for mine too.
Seem to be more than strong enough. The RHS will give it a slimline look too.

[Rusho]

Good work buddy, nice work

[31zook]

hey that looks good, you will want to brace the "U" mounts, they will bend very quickly with a jimny weight on them...

Looking good mate...

That's how I plan on doing my sliders when I get around to it

awesome work, good to see people making shit again.

ive got the U brace type, i just used 2 M12 bolts to clamp it together. use a rattle gun to do the nuts up

[zukenutter]

Haha just sent you a PM but now I see your pics

[ossielocal]

Should have me sliders done this weekend ..if all goes too plan
One side is done just needs some paint on it .

[brindog]

any updates ?

[ossielocal]

Finished them today spent a good few hours on them .

[89_tintop]

they are good looking mate..

how much did they cost you all up?

[zukenutter]

Well done. Better bolt them up and post another pic. I'd better get stuck into mine soon.

Good work so far Ossie but I think they'll need a bit of beefing up.
The outriggers appear to be 300-400mm long. This gives a lot of leverage when only 25mm tall where welded to the chassis clamps.
I'd add a few triangular gussets to increase the load spread. SEE the triangles in pic below.
I'd also extend the chassis plate to at least the top of the chassis rail to stop the chassis being dented by the thicker plate.. SEE circle in pic below.

Thanks for the advice Avatar ..i have the Angle on the other side and was going too do it on the other one but was in a bit of a rush doing it ...will fix it up next weekend ...Total coast was $65 dollars for metal $ 11 for paint and mate had the wielding gear and tools too do . i would say all up $120 and our time making them up which took 2 days .

i like those sliders, ill get around to makin mine one day

[Fatzook]

Sliders look neat, but I'm not sure they are heavy duty enough

Can you lift the car up using the sliders as a jacking point? If the sliders deflect more than 5mm, I'd say they are too weak. But I guess that depends on what you intend to do with them really.

There my first temp at doing them ...might make the same but use a heavy steel down the track but they will do for now ..i'm not going too be doing extreme cliff jumping with them ..lol

Did the jack test they where fine in the middle, jack the car right off the ground but the ends need reinforcing some more steel is need and a few more angle peaces should do the trick.
