Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I was am interested in side steps/sliders to stop panel and sill damage can anyone reccomend a type or brand ?

square/rectangular sliders...

tube will kink or bend

yeh squqar or rectangular sliders r super strong and u could probly drop u car from 10ft up onto them but they are ugly and unless ur rock crawling constantly tubular will do or i know someone who makes a wicked steel plate step , very strong for about $1k

you missed jasons drive on the bumcrack on the weekend then...he smashed onto every rock possible at full noise and the tube sliders stood up to it perfectly....he is gunna be scary to watch when we do his exo for him.

32nb tube 4mm wall... however on a lwb you are better off sleeving the outer tube with 25nb tube....heaps stronger and shouldnt bend then.

i did these for him for $350.. heaps cheaper than having to replace panels.

if that's the case, why didn't you build your "MOON" buggy out of box section.

Just to be different I like a mix of square and round
Have made similar sliders for my Zook and my Lux.

Use Box section its a hell of a lot stonger.

You wouldn't have seen...you were too busy talking sh1t

He landed right down on the passenger side sliders. I know...cause I was about 2 feet from where he landed

Crazy mothe fark

All depends on the thickness of the tube wall and the positioning of the bracing.

He landed smack bang on the passenger side slider after trying to break the Earth's gravitational pull

I know...I was sitting about 2 feet from where he landed. I remember thinking that there was no way in hell that he could end up that high on the cheek.

hey 80lsy gq wanna make me some and if you do how much ?

i have tube sliders, they're bent and crushed, use rhs

Just curious, has anyone any super strong side STEPS, not sliders. I have sliders and they are a bit tricky to use as steps - pretty easy to slip off them, just too thin to step on is all.

Sliders + chequerplate = Step

My old ones were tube, new are RHS - Heaps better.

They even suit the boxly landy better

My Surf goes in for free 50mm tube sidesteps + checkerplate, i was tboned and a honda took out my sidestep, and being an import Toyota wants $735 for a sidestep, so i convinced the insurance company to pay for 2 new sliders/steps for $760 fitted

And the obligatory pics:
