Was mooching around the club and picked up plenty of steel tubing, apprx 50mm width and with a high stress load as it's used to hang lighting and various ancillaries from in the roof areas.
After some thinking and abit more practice with the welder I'm considering making some rocksliders/steps for the sides of me landy, however i'm not sure on how to attach them.
Do normal rock sliders attach to the chassis itself and/or how are they fixed?
I wanted to mount a plate with a short bar protruding and have that permanently fixed to the chassis, bolted or otherwise, and have the bar that will go front to back then attach to that but be removable if needed ( i picked up some heavy duty sleeves anorl )
My only concern is attaching to the chassis, it is after all a box section and by mounting the whole thing onto the chassis would this not produce a stress point if it took a whack? The chances of me being in a position causing this kind of force is nigh on impossible, but i wouldn't want to damage it based on not understanding.
