Rock Sliders (1 Viewer)

Well I finally got the time to start making the sliders, bought a bender and I had to try it out. I havn't made brackets to go to the frame yet but here is a preview of what is to come. It will fit better when I finish it.

nice work! when you make the brackets, make tube-style brackets along the sliders. dont forget the front tapers off, so the bracket towards the front will have to be longer! lookn good bro! -other sean

Thanks guys,

hullendersauce, I will make sure I take a good look at that

It's a 12 tonne hydraulic bender, the bender wasn't much at Princess Auto just over a hundred bucks

You've saved yourself a lot of money, compared to Slee's $765 60 series sliders!

I think we're looking at two different types--the inexpensive ones are really pipe benders, and can't handle chro-moly for rollbars, etc. But I can't find any links where I read that!

Did find this page w/ tips on a home-built bender--might be worth trying:

Here is the pics of the other one and a close up of the weld and bend. The bender isn't anything super great, it does the job that I bought it for though.





The bender is a 12 tonne hydraulic bender with 6 dies that have different radii's
