I'm half way done with my rocksliders Big Grin With all the cutting I've done on the truck the old sliders wouldn't work. All the steel I'm using has been found on job sites smiley22.
They are built with 2x3 square tube sitting at a 30 degrees. The round tube is sch 40 braced with 1 and a quarter square tube.
Started with this and wasn't happy.

looks good, will be very usable. I like how the rock sliders cover the entire length of the rocker panels.

smiley35I went out to do some more welding to find my 20ft. 220 extention cord gone Confused. So I asked the wife if she had seen it. She thought it was garbage and throw it away. A hundred dollars later, I now have a new 30ft. 220 cord.

Tell your wife to never touch another garbage can again- that's your job.

Frown My respects to your old cord

I thought I'd start (finish) another project that I haven't finished. I will eventually sell it to rebuild it slightly different and a lot lighter (90 pounds). It's got 3 mounts for bikes and will have 2 reverse lights mounted on the back. The front light bar rotates back to sit flush with the wind dam.

I love the rack. That gives me more ideas for the caR50.

Slowly been finishing things. The roof rack is painted and both step rails are finished. Now I'm starting on my rear bumpers.


I really hate angles.


My stock pile Big Grin to bad everything needs precleaning.

They are actually almost 2" higher. That is why I had to make new ones.
