Rock Sliders

[Fred79]

Het vandag my 'n stel rock sliders gekry vir goedkoper as wat ek die staal kon koop om my eie stel te bou. Die probleem is net dat dit is gebou vir 'n Defender 110 so ek sal die mounting brackets moet verander.

Enige ideas?

Best is to mount on x2 places onto the chassis.

Or even three places.Makes the strain on the chassis less

I know Cobus puts on 3 brackets for the Vigo rock sliders, for the other Hiluxes he only put two

[Fred79]

Thanks, ek sal nou sien wat hier gaan uitkom, het 2003 op die plaas laas met 'n welder gewerk.

6mm flat bar sal seker die ding doen?

Pieter, jammer om die thread te hijack - waar kan ek vir Cobus in die hande kry? My trappies is uiteindelik gebuig, so ek het nou rede om dit met iets ordentliks te vervang.

Watter dikte boute het jy gebruik?

You can also try Nico P. he makes a mean set of sliders.

[Gysie]

Try and use 12mm bolts - fine tread HT bolts and we use 10mm x 50 flat bar

Don't you guys think that 10mm is way overkill? If something were to have to give, I would prefer it to be the slider before the chassis gets kinked. A deformed chassis is very much weaker ans poses a real poblem. It's easier to replace sliders and do any necessary body repair than to strip and repair a chassis.

I had 5mm mounting plates that were 100mm wide, each secured with 4 x 10mm bolts and it sttod up to a lot of abuse ... the tubing bent before the mounting plates. Obviously if one uses only a 50mm wide flat bar, the 5mm gauge would be too thin for rigidity, but 50mm is too narrow IMO ...... a wider plate spreads the stress on the chassis rail over a larger area which is less likely to kink or deform it. It would also allow the bolts to be torqued further.

My opinion:

When off-roading you will either have to drive very fast, or for some reason fall hard on your slider to twist the chasis. I would rather have my sliders strong not to break and damage my body than to worry about the chasis where the changes are very slim that you will get a "twisting". The mounting points must be as close as possible to the cross member/supports on your chasis which make the whole setup even stronger .

Skuus oom Andy vir die stadige reply, nie altyd by die internet nie. Ek is maar meestal tussen Malmesbury, Wellington en Worcester.

Ek het toe maar 'n ingeneers besigheid gevra om vir my die brackets vir die rock sliders te bou, hulle het my nou gebel en gesê die die rock sliders sal dalk verhoed dat die side airbags kan af gaan en ek kan in groot moeilikhied beland sou ek in 'n ongeluk betrokke wees en eiemand in die voertuig kry seer.

Dink julle dit is waar? Hulle staan mos nie 2m uit al elke kan nie, die ander voertuig sal moes nogsteeds kontak maak as ek in 'n kant botsing betrokke is.

Kan ek vra dat iemand asseblief vir my 'n paar close up foto's stuur van die brackets en waar hulle mount gemount wees, die manne verstaan nie so lekker hier by ons nie.

[Fred79]

Eerder laat as nooit nie, het omtrent lank gewag vir hulle.

Baie sterk en baie tevrede!

Frikkie,

Kan jy dalk fotos post van hoe die rocksliders vas gesit is op die bakkie. Indien moontlik
