Yes, if you were making a hardcore rig that will be hitting rocks routinely, off the frame would be better. This project was partly for removing the rust. They are strong though. Way stronger than the stock sheetmetal.
Are you happy with the decision to use 3.5" tubing for the rockers? I have been wanting to do this same thing, but had been considering 2x3" tubing. This looks great though.
The 3.5" square tubing fit really well. They are holding up perfectly. A thinner wall would've been adequate though. I'm sure 2x3 could also be made to work well.
Not quite running yet. It’s been too cold to work outside. The weather is getting better so I should be able to finish it off soon. I’ll post a vid as soon as I get it sliding! Cheers
Nice work on the sliders!
Amazing job!
I watch in envy my friend. Your skills are something to covet.
Truly impressed with your work 👌🏻
Where did you find the plastic fender flair mounts
Quedó perfecto, tengo un samurai al que me gustaría hacerle lo mismo, gracias por la idea 😄😄
My hats off... Nice work
Well done really nice. I have to do it too.
Nice job . What angle are the ends at?
I always thought they'd have to be mounted to the frame? is this way strong enough?

Do you have the angles of the front and back, of the rock sliders that is? :)

How much hangover is their from the side of the body?
Hmm, I don’t know exact, but not much. Probably about the same as the old plastic covers.
what welding machine do you use ? mig ?
thanks
Yes this was mig. I use a miller multimatic that does both mig and tig.
Hi Dr Dan nice job is the Airboat running and how well did it slide!!

Good
Do your rock sliders sit lower than the frame rails?
how did you weld the 3/16 sliders to the thin gauge rocker
Yeah it was a bit fussy. I used the mig. Lots of very short beads eventually got it all.
Yes this seems the challenge even for me
Sunt de acord
Are you in calgary? We used to live there.
Yup
