Sliders are actually strong tubes that are fitted under the chasis rails, sometimes steps are added for dual purpose, but sidesteps alone are not rock sliders.

There is a spoa rocsta floating round Newcastle, dont know if the owner is on the board at all though. It also features in the current 4WD monthly readers rides.

Yeah - I saw that one in the mag - in the readers rides at the back. White one owned By Mathew called Little Elvis or something like that - though I cant find his contact details anywhere ;-(

My Raider is just on 2000kg so I did my sliders with 3.2mm wall thickness. After last weekend, I think next ones I make will have a heavier wall. No real damage but outer bar has gone up a few mm towards the rear.

I am guessing a bad earth to the instrument binnacle (most likely), going on the electrical oddities that present themselves in other Kias...........................

Other possibilties: snapped speedo cable or VSS sensor wire, corroded contacts on the VSS and temp guage sender (engine end)...

There's a couple of wrecks at Gold coast wreckers and also a wreckers new Toowoomba has some.
Just search and you'll find them.
New parts are sometimes cheaper than wreckers though :roll:

Na matey more like sidesteps made out of pipe. Bout 2 inch diameter is nice. I had em on my patrol and not only can you belt stuff without breaking em but you can use them as a sidestep aswell.
