Clean, Simple, Easy Option for Sliders - LCP Rails

[nukegoat]

100% agree▲
I have set of "Rubicon" boat style SLIDERS with kick outs in the works I feel I will need/use for the Rubicon in 2018

With the same mounting system? How on earth do you expect the pinch weld to support a cantilevered load?

Wait, tell me more. I like the look and simplicity of these. But the more I think about it the more I feel like my wife and daughter need something to step on to get up in the rig. Plus with my pending lift, I might need that too. Like @Newps just said, maybe I need something to reach the roof too.

Only one set will be made do to extremely amount of labor needed.

No something out of the box

I learned a lot from my first set of sliders below. Although there some of the strongest and nicest around even with 37's and a lot of lift I have more clearance with the Rock Rail.

I really like this design, one more option for both 80's and 100's. On most trails, sliders are like the curb feelers from the 70's. Once you make contact, you can backup are readjust your line. 2 inches of additional rocker clearance is the same as going from 32 to 36 inch tires. These rigs are very heavy, sometimes there is not enough traction to overcome the weight and slide forward using a traditional rock slider. So you have to back up and readjust your line. With 2 additional inches of clearance you might crawl right past it.

I would seriously think about running these. I however need a step slider to access the roof rack. I had mine made as wide as the kickout on most sliders.

I agree with your thoughts and have experienced the clearance addvantage many times on the trail. As for adding step our mounting system will not support any steps or kick outs.

Is there a write up/pictures of how these were made/mounted?

There has been several write over the last 5 years but here another overview-
The main tube is 1.75dia .090 thickness with welded capped end.
They mount with 5-M8 studs on the 80 series and 6-M8 on the 100 series.
Weight is approximately ~28lbs a part.
Fitment is 91-97 80 series will not fit the LX due to plastic side cladding.

What was out of the box about this magical attachment?

 

[OREGON85]

I was asking about the boat side sliders mentioned.

 

[smittycrusher]

my 80 is still very nice and clean.

Biggest understatement of 2017.

I'm with Nukegoat- these things will do exactly fu

ckall. And unless you're going to spend all day di

cking around on Waynes World or Constrictor (you won't, at least not with your current setup), you won't find a place in northern Utah where sliders are even necessary.

But hey, not my rig, not my money, not my time, and not my concern... so whatever makes the front of your jesus jammies tight.

Rock Rails doing there job myself and many more

An excellent option for many
In stock and ready to ship Rock Rails - Land Cruiser Products - LCP

Good enough for Maltec trucks

I have been looking for a product like this. I have built several cruisers. The last 80, had all the usual armor from some of the best designers and fabricators (ARB, 4x4 labs, metaltech) servicing the 80 series. I have spent years listening to complaints about gas mileage, from folks that added 1,000(?) lbs of body armor.

While I would like to think I am some fearless explorer cutting new horizons. The reality is that I enjoy driving my 80, and 90% of the miles are on pavement.

My current build is focusing on light weight and floatation. If you are going to bounce around on rocks, nothing is idiot proof. I just need something that might give me a second chance after “oh s***”.
