So I'm now debating fabbing my own sliders based on the simplicity of the project vs. relative cost. I've built bumpers before, winch plates, headache racks and a few other items so I'm pretty comfortable with my Hobart.
I was taught that the gauge of steel should never exceed that of the frame when building bumpers so that should you hit something, the bumper will fail before the frame and you won't total your vehicle. This makes sense to me.
Is there similar a logic to Sliders? I would most likely bolt them on (definitely not weld).
Thanks in advance.
