Rock Sliders

[Matt]

I'm liking Doc's sliders too. How far do they sit in comparison to the stock plastic? Wondering if Docs version will gain us any clearance at the rockers...

Not worried about his work I know it will be stronger then the super sliders for sure. The wife says I can't be trusted without sliders any more LOL so I would prefer to get docs setup over the super sliders.

Here is a sneak peak of my sliders:





Doc is working up how he will install them, he wants to make it simple so that anyone can install a set at home without a welder.

I was thinking about this a bit today.... I love where you and Doc are going with the sliders, but had an idea to make them a bit more useful and "different". It would be really cool if there were two platforms (per say) that would act as good steps, then connect the platforms with the tube to complete the "side" protection. By platform, im envisioning something that would provide good grip in all weather.... that way if you're wheeling in the snow (well, for some of us) and want to get something off the roof from the side, you have a nice stepping point.

..Or, in my case, a great step for kids that'll be getting in/out of a lifted XK

Try a different color....maybe body match the color.....

Because they bolt to the side of the fender and the fender is so thin I do not think they would support much weight without bending.

Lol you do know this is the rock slider thread.... not the tube fender flare thread right? Look at the pictures I quoted.

Hahahah that's funny I've done that before to.

Just finished an 18 hour shift with the All Star Game in there somewhere....

The sliders were designed with the intention of installing a dimple pressed sheet of metal to act as a step.

Does Doc have an estimate on a finished product? I can't go wheeling until I get something.

I will stop by tomorrow and ask him.
