was bored so i made some sliders over the weekend, just gotta weld em on. i used some skate board grip tape for traction when they get wet, looks really nice, ill have to take some pics installed

1973Guppie · 03-23-08, 10:34 PM

that's a crappy pic cam, are those for your big wheel?

j/k, look good, but need some better pics......

tired80 · 03-23-08, 10:35 PM

Looks good man. You'll have to post more photos as soon as you get them installed.

Good looking rails!
How many mounts are you planning on fab/installing?

The near end looks like it may be stepped as in a box tube with a sheetmetal "L" metal on top. Is this accurate? If so this is a great stiffener and weight saver.

Look forward to seeing the additional pics! The skate board grip is a good idea. If you see mud allot you may wish to consider a piece of expanded metal on top where you typically place your foot. The grit will foul with mud and become slippery if you hit much wet clay or mud.

Good tip on the grip tape. I was going to put some on my sliders, but mud is a way of life out here, unless you don't get out much.

Mud pretty much sucks but no way to stay out of it around here.
The largest rock around here is about the size of a golfball.

come on over, im golfing in the morning but after that

yellowstoner · 04-06-08, 11:46 PM

Cam, what do you think about making a set that install below the factory running boards, but maybe stick out past the running boards an inch or so? I would sure like some sliders but want to keep the stock running boards in place.
