Haha... ossielocal beat me to it.

I'll be starting some sliders shortly too. Different approach though. I'm going to be slicing off all the plastic (flares, door sills) to be level with the plastic on the doors. The sliders will be made from 75mm sq. section tube which I'll have left over from a deck I'm building. I'll be cutting a section of it out and welding it back in upside down to create a recessed step.

The finished sliders will sit about 5mm below the sheet metal lip of the sills.

I'm keen to see how other auszookers have made their chassis mounts. Please feel free to post pics of your mounts in this thread.

Below is the photoshop rough

[parfittron]

will look the goods man for sure.

Should be good to get all that added strength while sacrificing such little clearance (I have seen how much you like to test out your sills!)

[ossielocal]

Pretty fancy sliders man makes my sliders look like coles brand lol ..Will look good when your finished .

[45tr0]

Those will look awesome! If i wasn't so scared about cutting up a <12 month old Jimny I'd love a set of those

[TASSIETOYUKI]

Nice work.. er OK it will be nice work when they are done.

"artists impression" looks really good

[monley]

What the sierra ones?

They are very nice, but i won't to be ready for winter(if we get one this year ), hiw long is FZ away form making jimny sliders any way??

[zukenutter]

In the pipeline. I want control arms first though but whatever comes first I'll work with.

[monley]

Ok

I'm thinking about a full set of ORA arms and a rear bar from them.

[brindog]

Found some pics similar to what I have in mind.



There great as you don't lose any clearance, because you remove the plastic stuff, similar to TSOR's sierra sliders.

[zukenutter]

That's what I want. Are there some pics from underneath?

[Birdman1985]

x2 More pics would be awesome.

[monley]

Nice more pics of how they are mounted.

[brindog]

Yeah they are brilliant.
Here's a few more pic's.


Looks as though they are bolted to the chassis, but I guess you could do clamps so you are not welding/drilling the chassis.

Here's the build up on some finland 4x4 forum.
Pretty epic build.

I in the stage where i'm trying to figure out how to bolt mine on, as there is not enough room to get a nut on top of my bracket, so i will be tapping put my bracket and bolting straight though that.

[Fatzook]

Just don't drill through the chassis like they have.

You can still BL with the sort of airbags the jimnys have, i read on a thread on here, (not sure which one), the jimny's have g-force or impact airbags or some thing like that, which means you can still BL. Alot of guys in the UK BL airbagged jimny's with no trouble to date. There is also a 2010 Jimny in perth that have been BL with 31's.

Edit i found the thread:

Steve you could probably answer this question. Are the Airbay sensors G force activated or impact activated. You can legally fit body lift to vehicles fitted with G force activated airbags as they aren't effected. The new hilux has this setup and quite a few are fitted with BL's

Impact I think, will look into it, but 99.9% sure impact..

Both Mr Just, has 2 impact sensor's behind the front bumper & a g force sensor IN the module..

[Birdman1985]

They look so good without the tubes. But they also look schmick with them.

Mitch.

[monley]

Here are my brackets i will be mounting off, i was going to do the rest of the sliders but ran out of motivation.

[Birdman1985]

Oh well...its a start?!?

[zukenutter]

Discovered GoogleSketchup... Very cool. Anyway have been playing around with mounting points, here's my first SketchUp effort.

Oh yeah this is only conceptual and nothing is measured yet so don't be telling me that it's too, long, fat, thin, high, low.

[vitzookman]

It looks good but it looks too long, fat thin, high and low lol.....

Good work I will have to down load that thingy too

That's a sweet Jimny build. almost makes me want to build one.

Still too tall and nowhere near enough tyre, but cool nonetheless.

[monley]

It's to long, fat , low, blah blah blah

I think you might just make yours before i make mine

[alien]

that gold jimny gives baby jesus a human horn.
