Options 4 mounting sliders to LWB GQ

[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

Thanks mate, mustn't be many patrols with sliders out there judging by the amount of replys my post has recieved lol I'll keep researching. Is it illegal to weld finch plates to chassis and tap holes into them to bolt sliders up to?aaaaannnyyybody ?

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!!

I do the u clamps too , being a welder for a job know about corrosion and the stress weld produces plus thin chassis steel

mate have u got some pics of those rigs bolted up and some close up pics of the U mounts I just wanna see how and where on the chassis each mount bolts up. Sorry if I sound dumb but I'm just covering all bases before starting.
