hey guys i have made 2 different sets of slidders b4 last set had 2 many hang up points and then the next set well just didnt like then

so i was seaching on the net and found on an american website these industral looking slidders and i was more than happy with the way they looked

im making them out of 8mm thick 100x100 angle iron and 3mm thick piping

so i am not in the process of again making another set of rock slidders
i have made 1 up which is about 80% complet just need 2 drill the holes 2 go in 2 the lower body and get meself some more 8mm plate 4 the bracket the bolts thro ya floor and i already have the 5mm plate ill put on the top 2 stop the bolts pulling ripping big holes in my floor

my pics 2 follow

[nandor85]

pics sorry i dont have any inbetween i got a bit carried away and finished it b4 i thought shit i should get pics

[suzukilwb]

looks good

[money_killer]

dont you like them mount to the chassis ?

[nandor85]

nah mainly cause i made a set up like that and took them out 4 a test run and seemed 2 catch them on shit and foul up on rocks so i decided i wanted 2 find a set that would give me that same hight i have now with out them on and not catch on anything

my theroy is why put put lift under ya car just 2 loose it when ya put slidders on

[Junior_91]

This is how i was always goin to build my sliders and i still am

[nandor85]

well they r pritty easy 2 do i can give ya the messurment if ya need them

[steak_knife]

So you`ve nut serted the body? the photo`s at the top have chassis & body mount`s & that could only lead to trouble..

Been thinking along these line`s for the Gv, no out riggers tho..

[nandor85]

i was thinking that 2 weather 2 make it just body mounted or do like they have and no im not going 2 nut sert the body ill drill thro and plate the opposing side and do it that way with a sleve ova the bolt so not 2 crush the body when doing it up

[steak_knife]

I`ve thort of that to, should work well, don`t forget to take photo`s when you fit em

[nandor85]

u just want 2 see me massiqure the body of my car with a drill lmfao

[ZukChiK]

I think the bolts through to the floor pan will cop a grinding(?) You could use dome head bolts with allen-key socket so they slide better...? Just a thought

[mcwilly]

Wanna make another set by any chance I'll pay off course

[nandor85]

ill see how these go

Yes........ Yes I do...........

[nandor85]

well got 1 all mounted still havent drilled thro the body i recon those nut serts would b strong enough ay as just with the 2 in the floor and the 2 in the chassi hold it really strong i can jump on them and they seem fine

still need 2 tidy up the paint i was in a bit of a hurry and it wasnt quiet dry yet so a few smugges and finger prints on the paint

I'm curious about this too, isnt there a lot of flex between body and chassis, and arent this things possibly going to tear the body apart now?

[nandor85]

in what way would they tear the body apart
they r bolted thro the floor and the other bolts r staight on 2 the chassis

and i have elongated the bolt holes that go thro the chassis so they have movement

These would be the neatest and most practical looking sliders I have ever seen without cutting the sills out.

hell yea nice job might do that myself gets rid of that plastic s@#t lol

[redrocketsj50]

they look great good job

[Built4thrashing]

I did similar using 6mm alloy checkerplate years ago. I was gonna use steel but it was way to heavy and massive overkill.

looks nice - i'd pump a crapload of sikaflex or silicone into the sill area before attaching to make sure mud/sand/water doesnt get trapped in the gap and rust it out.
