Heath's Sliders

Here's mine, designed and built by me. They rotate down to be steps for getting wife and kido in, and rotate up and can be pined up for off road protection. Continuous plate rather than tubes, means no place for rocks to jam into, so they slide well. Actually, since I've put some more trail time on them, I tend to just leave them down, and since there is no lock in the down position, if they hit anything, they just rotate to the up position.

I run the bad-boy MetalTech sliders... These sliders are set up with a lazer cut and formed instead of box tubing, making them the strongest slider available. They also have the two stage "kick-out" to keep the big 80 but off of trees, rocks, J**ps, etc. They are powder coated inside and out and have a 1/2" thick cat guard that won't collect mud, sand, AIDS or anything else. These are the ultimate sliders!

Finished my home built sliders this week.

2x4 .188 wall rectangular tubing. 1.5 .120 wall DOM for the supports and rub rails. 3" wide 1/4" plate for the frame mounts and 1/4" plate for the cat skid.

Nice sliders D - like how you angled the ends. Cruisers looking bad-ass..... Did you use Hammerite on the wheels/sliders?

 

[darwink1]

Thanks Shred. All my junk is primed, sprayed with duplicolor graphite wheel paint then clear coated. The sliders turned out shiny because I tried clear w hardener.

Bump It Offroad

I bought these from Mike. His prices are low and he makes a very good product. Great guy to work with. I bought them in raw steel and painted them with rustoleum.

i personally like to have the back of the slider flare out wider than the rear tire just to kick my body off what ever is in the way. just my preference. example is post 35 pic

'Cruisin Offroad bolt on sliders, they work great!

I think they key to a good slider design is the rear kick out portion, you can see it in action somewhat in this video:

Made mine out of 2x6x.125 tube welded to the frame, I tried to make them look like stock running boards..

Rotating sliders

...Actually, since I've put some more trail time on them, I tend to just leave them down, and since there is no lock in the down position, if they hit anything, they just rotate to the up position.

How is that working out for you long term? Do they rattle or make noise on the road? Do they bang up and down on the trail?

I'm interested in doing something similar, would you be willing to share drawings or specs?
