Gday all,

What do you guys reckon would be better, when mounting a set of home made sliders....
a. U bolting to the chassis rail,
b. Welding them to a plate and welding that to the chassis rail, or
c. Bugger the rock sliders, just spend the money on more lift and more rum.

You r better off to weld them to a plate and bolt that to the chassis rail.
I welded mine directly to the chassis, but once on there thats where they stay.
That would be bloody right, if its not illegal its immoral
Is that all states ?

Since its rego'd in Qld, i'd probably better play the game although..........
My four ( soon to be six ) inch suspension lift is also frowned upon 8)
Soooo.... might just weld 'em and take the hits later !

If you r gunna weld them, make sure you weld them to the plate first or gusset them, because i didn't first and when i landed on a rock heavy it flexed the chassis rail and bent the sills anyway. All sorted now though.

Why not just weld a flat plate of say 10mm to the side of the rail that has 4 holes drill and tapped into it. Then have another plate with four holes drill in it that the bolts go through and into the other four threads. Then just weld your sliders to that.
Means they are removable and nothing hangs under the frame.
