Done exactly the same today rock solid. Just got to make the sliders to weld onto box section. May use one continious piece of tubular steel and get a friend with pipe bending machine to bend to shape

Just thought id post a couple of pics of my rock/tree sliders, there made out of box but are 80x120x5mm, i wanted them to go way below the doors so that i could get the tree sliders on and also protect my chassis out riggers as ive got a 2in body lift too, the drivers side was quite bad and had to cut most of the floor away and also had to notch the bottoms of the doors to get them to shut as the extra width fouls with the doors, anyways a few picys of mine

I dunno, it was just what was knocking about at work, ill measure in the morning if you really want to know :lol:
They also double up as a step as the mrs was moaning like hell that she couldn`t get in all that easy after the body lift and no steps!

I like the tubular sliders,I did mine in box because that was all my local stockist had in on the day, but since then I have discovered that the box makes a better step with its flat top, purely accidental result but function over form is the rule with my disco. As I sayi think they look way better on tube though.

Yes could easily work but is it worth all the extra effort? As I said I really think the tube looks nicer but my box is strong and functional and on my old dog it didn't seem worth the effort or wait to get tube and I'm glad I didn't now,I was out in a friends motor the other day and Herr has tubular sliders, shop bought, and when climbing back in after slipping through mud I found the tubes harder to use as a step as my foot slipped off if I didn't get the angle of attack right. Granted it only happened a couple of times until I had got the measure of them.

Yeh they do get a little slippery in the wet, im tempted to rivet a piece of ali checker plate to the tops but don't really want to be drilling into em and getting em filled with water/sh*te

Was thinking of using tubing myself and found some interesting anti-slip paint which could also work nicely in the boot and footwells.
