New Sliders

Had these fabbed up at a local shop. (A to Z fab they came recommend from a coworker) Didn't like the shipping cost on the normal sites. $400 for em not to bad but they don't follow the door lines but they'll do for now.

Nice. (They look just like mine except I've got the Hi-Lift jack points built in to the ends.)

How are they mounted? Mine bolt directly to frame outriggers that support the body mounts...

They are bolted to the sill. with no outriggers. It was a design disco mike sent when I first got my truck

OK, I think I've seen that design. If you're hitting the sill, then you don't want them bolted to the frame. (Mine don't touch the sill at all.)

mine are built the same way and i have gave them a few bangs. and so far so good

Mind sharing the design? My g/f keeps bitching at me to install steps so that she doesn't battle getting up into the Land Rover and this way I can kill two birds with one stone.

JT if you send it to me i will put it up on the club site under links

Here are the pics I have

Were these the design pictures that you gave to your machine shop? Or did you have anything else, i like the design and the price range (i know will vary between shops). But I may start talking to different shops. I'm thinking i will do sliders before a lift, but i'd like to get it priced first.

Yea took them to the shop manager and had a quote the next day

Thoase are sweet, I might try to see if my friend can make me a set.

I'm curious but what was this issue with them not following the door lines? The schematics look as if they do follow the door line. Was it just more expensive for them to do this or was it impractical or what? Just kinda curious, because i feel like that the sliders could potentially bend if you land hard enough or pivot the truck on the back where these rails have that inch or two gap between the bottom of the door and top of the rail

They might have a gap in the front as the bottom body line curves up slightly.

Nothing like rekindling old post but I was wondering if maybe there was another picture that shows the measurements for the mounting holes, distance between each, where they place on the RR? I'm thinking about getting these sliders made out here before I go home. Not sure how you had it done, I'm assuming either there is another picture or you just measured it yourself. But any info would be appreciated.

That's all the pictures I have. I got them from DiscoMike on another forum. They guy that fabbed them mounted them for me IIRC he used the stock holes from the plastic sills. I'd look but my truck in storage at my moms.
Sorry for not being much of a help.
