Another slider idea

[wstcstchprs]

Just wanted to see what everyone thought of this idea for mounting the slider. I finished a set today with two riggers going to the frame, but the slider bent up a little when I jacked up the truck from the edge of the slider. I made a bracket that bolts into the rigger thats riveted to the frame that used to be for the floorboard. That way there should be more support out towards the slider. Im going to drill the holes out a little bigger and stick some nuts and bolts through them, and maybe weld a plate to the bottom of the bracket.

I used that floor board mount on mine too. Works good for me. You may want to think about more support on the floor board mount since it may get bashed on rocks.
How are you attaching them to the rear?

looks good-

Just a rigger from the slider to the frame

Did you sleeve the bolts on the rigger mounts?

Did you sleeve the bolts on the rigger mounts?

it looks like he's using independent bolts, not goin all the way through...or at least that's what it looks like for the new part.

i see, you're talkin about the ones to the main channel of the frame.

question about that:
you would weld in the sleeve, right? rather than just letting it chill and be held in place by pressure.

that looks awesome chopper. it shoul be able to support jacking, are you adding any other supports to the raer of the slider as you did in the front. and when are you going to offer some to all of us?

Im going to finish the front mount and see how sturdy it is. As soon as I get a set finished I will put them on here and maybe ebay. I just dont want to sell anything that Im not completely happy with. I'll be posting some new pics soon of them finished.
