Rock Sliders, Rocker Guards, Rock Rails
We call 'em Rock Sliders and these are made from 4x2 rectangular
stock with .25" wall thickness so they can be beat on with out worry.
First we cleaned the frame and welded some 1/4" plate to it. The
supports for the 2x4 were made from 1/4" plate and angled to drop
the 2x4 below the body to avoid a body lift. The 2x4
was cut to fit just inside the fender wells at either end, on the front
we accounted for future wheel well trimming. The ends of the 2x4 were
angled and capped so as to slide over obstacles easier.
As you can see from the photos these sliders are strong enough to lift
the vehicle off of the ground. They make a great place to
Hi-Lift jack from!
Three years and still going strong. Rory thumps, smacks, bangs and drags these rock sliders across the best rock in the Sierras. The only thing damaged is the rattle can finish and the 4x4Beast stickers.
