Still need sliders. Has anyone ever ran a plate from c mount to c mount. Mainly to protect chassis rails from damage ? |

[quote="suzukiboy"]
look like it needs triangulation between the mounting tube and the chassis rail, otherwise wont it just bend at the point it meets the chassis rail? |

I have well and truly given the slider a work out and they haven't bent yet, they have come up and bent the lip on the sill slightly but flex back. |

I wanna make my own and I'm sure I can. Just dont wanna fork out heaps for a bender. (I hear the cheap dies suck) I want some like the ones above. In theory they look strong. |

Just to throw something a little different into the discussion - here are the abominations currently hanging off my chassis: 
They are a bit ummmm... agricultural... but they fulfill the basic purpose of protecting my sills. Originally off a GV I added the flat bar that runs along under the rail, and the altered mounting arrangement (see now redundant lower bolt holes) conveniently matched the body lift almost perfectly. Main benefit of course is no bending required, and cutting/welding SHS/RHS is so much simpler for a hack like me than dealing with curves
They are definitely still a work in progress - when I get the car and my tools in the same state again (September at the earliest  ) I will be hacking them up into v2 - incorporate steps, and mount brush bars from them up to the bullbar. Probably also go the other way to the rear bar that is on the wishlist... either TSOR (hint hint!) or custom/homemade/hack job I'll do myself.
