Rock Sliders 88 rover?!?! Fab Work

[Arrington]

Anyone building rock sliders for a 88? I know rovers north offers a set, I know Ike built them in the past, but is to busy to build any now. Any fab guys on here building them? Like a gentleman said in a older post, i don't want to reinvent the wheel. I could build them, but i am having a hard time getting enough time to build them. Just wanting some options for these for the sliders. Anyway any help would be appreciated.

I got some from Pangolin4x4 ( www.pangolin4x4.com ) for my 88... they are seriously beefy...

options..

I too looked into Ike for the sliders . I bought my front winch bumper from him. It too forever, and ever.... BUT the design was well done and the cost was ok . Nice build, I looked at every weld. I don't need poor attachments to let go on a 8 hour pull out of the hell hole at winter romp.
If you can wait .... buy from pangolin/Ike.
If you need sooner , buy from our hosts.
I have the roversnorth sliders and the are beefy and work well. Easy install ....when the install info is sent.....a quick pdf and they were on in 1 hour...
also well made but not as rounded at the ends. Your choice, time or money....

Yeah, I like Ike's the best with the rounded ends. I have been asking him about them off and on for about 6 months. I guess I am going to have to make some, unless any guys on here are building any.

I just make my own. That way if it's late I've got no one to yell at but myself. And if a weld breaks.....same thing....And....you can't beat the price!

May have to. Anyone have pics of home built sliders?

not to thread jack, but can you give me some details on your raised intake?

[Arrington]

Does anyone have pics of sliders on any series.

mrdoiron posted a picture of his sliders in response to your question.

Also, sliders stick out from the body side a bit so that rocks and stumps do not go into the door.

Here are some more pictures:







This is the first and second series.


Guinness sliders.


Red Eared Sliders...


Canadian sliders...


This is an awesome wave slider...


Here is the electric sliders... If you can do it right, its "electric"!

Excellent post by crankin!!

Wow, my truck was more blue with many fewer dents back then.....

I love my sliders. Visually they replace the 'sills' under the door. Structurally they're way different. Mine do stand proud of the bodywork by about a half inch, which is a good thing.

Very handy, useful and protective

andrew where did you get yours

yeah I really want a set like those for my 109, apart from the off road protection the added structure would certainly help in a t-bone accident from the side, which would be nice since the "crumple zone" is basically the entire truck.

Not sure what exactly you mean by details, the Host sells them fyi. Install can take different directions...but since I'm in Texas and don't use the heater, this one is fed through the heater intake grill area to avoid cutting, but you'd likely not do the same... and then get a raised air intake kit to connect to the air cleaner (pic encl),

Keep the pics coming. I talked to Ike today, he does not have any sliders built and is to busy to build any with all the rover parts he has coming in. I understand about being to busy.

cutter wins the "most clever post" award.
