Oh yer, looking good baby. These were sprayed in automotive paint with a coat of special primer to stick to the gal and the first black coat put on wet primer to dull down the gloss apparently. In reality I got someone else to do this.



Job done, only been 6 years in the making!


I cannot take all the credit for these sliders. First of all I had a lot of help in the way of a PDF document I came across on the NissanPatrol forum. A huge thanks to Lieney for producing and sharing this how to guide. This was a huge assistance to me in the design stage of this project. Although I used a hydraulic bender to shape the round pipe and used square tube as the main rail, I did use the measurements and instructions for the support brackets to chassis to make mine.

They are a bit of an overkill with material thickness. The are heavy (just under 30kg for the pair) but I expect big things out of them. They definitely could have been built lighter and still have sufficient strength for most situations.


Now time for the next project. Hope it doesn't take this long
