Does anyone happen to know of anywhere that makes or supplies rocksliders (besides xrox) for Sierra's in Victoria. Cheers.

Are you sure you want then? The loss of sill clearance is a pretty big drawback. Plating over the stock sills retains ground clearance but prevents panel damage.

See if shandy92's build thread is still alive - his vitara ran box section to fill up cut-out sills and was incredibly strong.

Yes, I’ve done that too and it’s excellent. However that renders the car a statutory write off and engineers in Victoria won’t certify a car with modified sills.
Could be a show stopper if the car was defected.

That sierra chassis in the video has the same front suspension set up as our 1.6 Sierra has.
