New project on the go, making two identical sets so it pays for the material and consumables for mine.

That is a hell of a lot of welding, plenty of thought gone into them, well done

These are the kinda welding projects that are good for bettering your welding. Jigs are your friend, everything is exactly the same and its quick. I'll probably tack up a stand so i can rotate the entire slider on at a nice comfortable height.

Nice one! Eager to see what the rear scrub bars look like , only problem for me would be the rear door of a gu has the flair on it

Looking good mate. I highly recommend that you plan to put flat plate on the underside of your sliders. The cross bars end up doing way way more damage than having no sliders at all would have done. They tend to grab stuff and smash it into the sill. I have had a brach the size of my wrist come up through the floor under the passenger seat after nagging on a slider mount at 40km/h
When I did my strip down I did the Sill repairs to each pint and then welds flat on the bottom and checker on the top of the sliders. Sooooo much better.

A mob called Davond made the only true sill protector slider I have ever seen, mainly Range Rover though
@ MR you're right about those cross bars causing more problems than are needed
looking really good
