Options 4 mounting sliders to LWB GQ

Post by morewheeldrive »

Can anyone show me some solid ways to mount and where to fit mountings for rock sliders on lwb gq. I'm pretty certain in regards to the rear of the sliders but where do u put a mount in relation to where the front arms bolt in? Any options would be good and pics will be appreciated . Thanks all

I have just welded a plate to chassis then weld the bar work streight to that.
I have also done a sill cut so are able to mount the bars higher up the chassis by approx 50mm,this should help the ramp over when on a angle.not tested at this stage

Hope this helps

I made up a 'U' shape with 3 pieces of 6mm (??) plate about 200mm long that fit under the chassis and 2 HT bolts through the top. Better than sandwich plates as less to foul on rocks etc.

Welding to chassis has been done, but I would always worry about corrosion on the INSIDE of the chassis rail.

Like the picture in the posts below!! :D :D :D :D :D
