GU Wagon Rock Sliders, Materials and step-by-step guide to build your own

[Lieney]

I have just built some bolt-on sliders for my GU wagon.

My sliders sit just off the bodywork and are similar in height to the chassis rails. This allows a little flex and protection.
They are mounted in 3 spots at this stage along the chassis.
I have a couple of final touches to complete the work but figured I'd post this for those who are interested but not sure how to go about it.
I didn't have a bending or notching machine so used a grinder and BIG electric hacksaw.

I have put together a complete step-by-step guide including pictures, tools and materials & important things on what to do as you go along while building your own set.:Yahoo!:
I cannot attach the document as it is 486kB and the text and pics are all justified etc. If I paste the words in, it muddles everything up.

Shoot me an email me if you want a copy of this, I'd be happy to oblige.:1062:

very nice mate well done and great post. I have just built mine for the gq, nearly identical except I bought 90 deg bends to join the outer bar to the inner and mounted the front slightly different to the chassis.

Sh1t Hot mate well done!! Now tube bar front n rear ;-)

[robbo0001]

Awesome PDF mate,couldn't ask for much more detail than that.
Exceptional build

[Lieney]

Thanx AB for attaching the document. Its nice to have skills, but even nicer to help others out.
Rear bar might be the next thing, but will see....
Thanx again AB.

Well done awsome build guide.
I am thinking of similar but am also thinking of using 1 of mine as air storage tank by making sure all pipes are capped & 1 drill hole to allow air in all pipes just my thoughts as all walls will be minimum of 3mm so should hold 100psi all day long if sealed correctly & fit a release valve incase of
severe damage under pressure.

Even I can understand that !! WOW thanx for sharing..

[Lieney]

89gqpatrol4x4 90 degree bends is what I was after but bender was imperial & pipe was metric. Time restraint made angle easier option but mandrel bend was preferred. Rear bar hopefully in few months but available time is hard to find while juggling family & work

[krbrooking]

Thats an AWESOME build and pdf man great detail and info has definitely inspired me to plan my own/ use most of your info. lol!!!

[spikegorman]
