Would like to see some pics of that.... needs a helluva lot of force to tear that pinch weld.
Should probably get a new thread started for the slider discussion... lol actually, sal, maybe change this thread title to "My 4XG Sliders are useless for Hi-lift jacking"
LOL that's funny but I changed it!
Lol there no question mark needed in this title, they don't work unless you don't mind imminent body damage.
I'm taking Adondos advice and going with an xjack. .. and ill just keep on using my scissor jack on base I made (2 4x4s cut 8" long and screwed together).
A creased/dented/scratched door costs a lot more than the difference in price between a hi-lift and xjack. I'm looking forward to testing one out and reviewing it.
4' is a huge drop! I would bet sals bar would hold up about the same as the 4xg one on that kind of drop?!

Haha, no vid
It was a perfect drop, the tyre missed it by an inch. It was at cruiser park, there was a part of the canyon that was still apparently undrivable since the floods - well so said the fellas in the big landcruisers. We made it through, and where this happened i was up on a large single rock face (about a 30deg side slope with many little streams coming though it) with many boulders at the bottom, I had to drive high up on the slope to get around the rocks and didnt quite make it, slid down and hey presto!
You can see here where its pushed into the sill.
The guard popped back out, but the bottom of the door is bent. Once we unbolted the slider it went back to shape, then retensioned it all up. Its actually bent the slider about 5mm.
As I said before, I dont think in normal driving i could do this, but I dont drive normal

Oh i see... so it was more of a lateral hit that pushed it inwards. All things considered, imagine what the damage would have been like without any protection!
