Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i bought the landcruiser and the guy has tech screwed the side steps/brash bar into the body , i need to see how they are properly mounted so i can fix this stupid stuff up

cheers

Edit: translated the subject.

oddly enuf, thats not at all unusual a way to affix them...... it you dont like it attached to your body, get some sliders

tech screws are ftw! my cars body loves tech screws

i want some way of putting them to the chassi as a slider and not tech screwed tot he body point is to protech the body not destroy it

old cruiser i used to have had them welded to the chassis. Simple and solid but i cut them off leaving jagged points to smack my head on everytime i got under the car.

Just have a look under any 4bee fitted with ARB steps and copy the large U bolt idea.

i got u bolts but jusdt need to understand how its done

SWB Jeeps are popular for having sill protection bolted to the bodywork. It's not dodgy at all, it's strong when designed well and doesn't impeded ground clearance. Warn, ARB plus a whole lot of other US suppliers make this type of sill protection commercially.

Lots of sliders here, mostly welded

Brief instructions:
Your u-bolts need a square U, not a round U, and need to be large enough to wrap around your chassis rail. You need 2 u-bolts per mount. Hook your u-bolts around your chassis so the threads face outwards. Weld the arms of your sliders to some plate, drill four holes into the plate to match the spacing of your u-bolts. Bolt it all up.

Mine are not mounted with u-bolts. Instead there is another plate on the inside of the chassis rail which effectively sandwiches the chassis between that plate and the outer one that the slider arm is welded to. 4 high tensile bolts pull the plates together.
