Best rock sliders
Ok as the title says I'm after some new sliders as the tjm steps/ brush bars are useless an I'm sick of them getting crushed, bent and crushing my panel in the process.
So who makes the toughest sliders ideally with brush bars but not essential though but I don't mind modifying them with my tjm brush bars if they are sliders only.
Edit.. May have put this thread in the wrong area lol

Megatexture,
I dont run brush bars for that very reason......I think that you actually get more damage rather than less due to sticks and branches to say the least.
I dont know of any commercially available sliders with brush bars, as the ARB / TJM stuff are not sliders......and cause more damage than without them when hitting on rocks / stumps
You could easily modify your brush bars to suit most of the available rock sliders, as you could weld on a socket which the bar slides into for easy removal / repair,, or simply just weld them on.
I like the Superior Rock Sliders or the Millweld units, as a starting point

Apparently Millweld sliders are not all that strong.

Ye I've never had any damage to the front end and I'm sure the brush bars have saved me on many occasion so I do want to retain them or replace if I can find a suitable all in one unit that's strong enough.
All the damage I've sustained is on the door sills from comeing down hard on the step

get a custom made slider instead of a pipe step from any engineering shop,
Surdex steel sell a 4" x 1" section steel they use for cattle crushes that I thought
would make a great sill protector

Raaslar do a nice slider with brush bar for about a $1000
But I think you need to remove the lower back gaurd which I am not that keen on.

That is why I prefer the Millweld sliders...I did ask Raslarr if they would modify the end to suit the existing plastic....

Mine are bolsys ones. Very solid. Hes out at Ipswich. I have dropped mine hard on them a couple times with no damage other then some paint off the slider.
I dont know of any real sliders that come with brush bars but bolsys does general fab as well so i guess he could make some up??
I can grab a couple picks of them if you like

Drc fabrications in Benalla do a great job.
Nice bloke, 1 man show, drives a gq patrol and the welding is spot on. Very competitive too.
