I think you have just given me the inspiration to finish mine of

bet my trailer is finished before your sliders.

I think we'll see the turn of the next century before I get around to mine

[Scales]

lol, good to know im not the only one who gets the go-slows on some projects.

if i get mine done in a few days ill be stoaked. but drawers first.

[monley]

Ok i can finally add to this thread I didn't get to many pics of construction...sort of got stuck into it and forgot

[alien]

looks good! you gonna allow some room for them to flex a bit without hitting the body right?

What flex But there is a bit of room for movement there

[alien]

haha the flex it will have when you drop the whole zuk onto the middle of a slider... im sure it'll move a bit still =)

[BlueSuzy]

If he used the body mounts like mine on page 1, There will be minimal flex. like mm measurements.

Nice work monkeyman

Good to see your not afraid to cut the jimny

I haven't had to cut any thing to make the slider's fit yet, it was all pre-cut to make the 31's fit

I like the look of them, but drilling hole's into the chassis to mount rock slider's

Like most things, doing it the "best" way is time consuming and fabrication intensive. Installing doubling plates and crush tubes is a big job, but keeping the underside of the rails flush is pretty critical for capability IMHO.


Don't get me wrong, I think you've done a great job with your sliders, and considering you already have factory provided rock anchors (radius arm brackets) under the chassis, it's probably not critical, but I wouldn't be building anything that went under the chassis on my car.

[monley]

Make some chassis bracket's up and away you go

The problem I see with these is that they are body AND chassis mounted.....

[BlueSuzy]

Are those little tabs just to hold the flares?

I think so

soooo.... when do we have a TSOR ones??

[appsie]

they look sweet.they will work good just dropping straight down onto something or bellying out but what about a bit of door protection if its leaning over in some rocks or ruts??

how far up/out do you propose the outriggers go? as far as i can see they are about at their usable limit. Unless you weld the doors shut, go dukes of hazard style and have them coming up halfway up the car....

[BlueSuzy]

I think appsie is talking about the flat plate ones, not the tube ones.
