GQ rock sliders

[benno]

Howdy Guys, been a while, have been watching but not posting. I was wondering if anybody could help me with some ideas and or photos of rock sliders for my 92 GQ wagon, after doing a fair bit of damage last weekend, I thought I better build some. I did see some with the bolt on brackets welded to the chassis, is that legal??? Any help would be much appreciated,

Cheers Benno.

I'll get some photos of mine for you tomorrow mate - as far as I'm aware, bolt on jobs are the only ones that are "legal" (as such), as you're not supposed to weld onto the chassis etc ...

Thanks Bigrig, didn't think weld on jobs would be legal. I know a body lift gives you more room, but not sure if I want to go there.

cheers Benno.

Body lifts are illegal also mate ... in most if not all states I believe (happy to be wrong).

Will post up some happy snaps tomorrow of them on the car , but this is the drivers side one whilst being welded up - hope you're handy on the fabrication front mate, as it will take some effort.

Thanks Bigrig they look good, just what the doctor orded, quite compact, are they bolted over the top of the chassis, the front one looks like it bolt through. Talking about things that are legal, with a 2" lift what is the legal tyre size in QLD for insurance, 32" or 33" do you know????

Cheers Tony.

You're onto it - the back two arms bolt over the chassis and the front one bolts to a plate that sits inside the mount on the chassis rail. You'd need to make the plate also.

QLD regs are only an increase of 15mm in diameter from largest OE spec sold for that vehicle - not much when they come bog standard with 265/75's .. Even that will probably change with this whole "total vehicle lift of 50mm" ... tyres and/or spring lifts included. There's a few other threads on here about that topic if you do a hunt for it ..

Definitely throw up some snaps if you decide to build some sliders - be more than interested in that one mate! Good luck with it.

Tony, 2" is legal in QLD, but also check with your insurance.. I have a 2" lift with 33's on the GU..

Thanks again, would still like to see a couple of pics of your rig with them on if you can be bothered tomorrow, talk to you then,

cheers Tony.

Will do mate!

Thanks dasemm, I did ask my insurance, and they said what ever was legal for your State was fine by them, I'll do what Bigrig suggested and have a look through the forum, I could probably google it to, talk to you soon.

Cheers Tony.
