Ridin' the rails..

Hey Guys..
Had me a wicked Boho weekend with some 40s and Landies. The Vitara did alright considering the size diff. and lack of good rubber.
As expected ..you gotta pay to play. I did a good job scratching, and bending my (stock plastic) rail sills. I knew they would go eventually, and now they're ready to be replaced.
Does anyone know about a standard L shape steel to just cut to length and drill on? I know many will tell me to get proper rails, but I'm after a quick and cheap solution.
Thanks all..

get checkerplate sill protectors made up there strong and it adds to the bling factor

Thought about the checker option, but heard that there isn't a thick enough option in the pattern. I would think the minimum I'd be after is 5 mm or so. Its a light car..but if you have all of it balancing on that one point..

you wouldn't need that, thick 3mm is plenty thick enough and it will handle the weight of your car on it

Dont make your sliders out of checkerplate, use normal plate that's smooth so you can slide over stuff.

And if the bling doctor is telling you that, you should listen

Sorry I forgot your mexican....
It's an expression used to describe time. Between three of you's say a beer every 15 mins for two hours = 24 beers.
