Diy rock sliders

[Shankem-Deep]

Good point guys. I'm checking into it. I didn't get as much done last night as I wanted but something is better than nothing. I promise I will get faster!

Sliders Look good. The 4x4 market is crazy these days.

 

[Shankem-Deep]

Can you PM me a rough price to build and ship a set to WA? As an alternative, would you be willing to sell the plans for a couple bucks?

I have given pretty good plans through out this thread. I could answer any questions you have if you decide to build your own. PM sent

 

[Shankem-Deep]

Got the all clear. Thanks for lookin out!

 

[Shankem-Deep]

Progress with the process.

your a beast those are bad a*& for sure !

 

[Shankem-Deep]

Thanks man!!! I'm having fun building these!!!

I was hoping to have some help with this next step of the build, but being in the middle of the week help is in short supply. I used autocad to draw up the bends and angles so I new exactly what I needed to do to make these come out exactly right. Unfortunately the well laid plans of mice and men often go astray. Trying to hold a 8' piece of 1-1/2 sch 40 pipe and make a compound angle cut is a bit of challenge! When I made the set for my truck, I used a plasma cutter and just finished ground it until it was a good fit, not the best way. Anyway, after hurting my brain for awhile I finally figured it out. Heres the results. I only tack welded it because I may make a fixture to hold these while i make this cut on the rest. Note the flush fit of the pipe to the slider body, this was what i was trying for. I didn't want to have a gap to fill in. Both ends have to be cut almost perfect for this to work, if one end is cut slightly off angle the other end will have a gap when one end is flush. That equals sloppy work, I hate sloppy work.

I wish i could afford a set.

 

[Shankem-Deep]

You got to love quality work. Thanks for the step by step illustrations with pictures.

Is the price $400 ??

I'd take a set for my M1009

 

[Disciple]

Keep building them! A set of these is definitely on my list of "must-have's". Winters are tough on the pay checks around here though. Once I get back to making good money I'll be getting a hold of you.

 

[bronco74]

When are you making a set for the 1009? Need to see some pictures.

 

[Shankem-Deep]

I've got 3 sets for the trucks in progress. I have my buddies m1009 to make a set on, so it shouldn't be too much longer. I'm not sure of the price for the 09's yet. I'll let you guys know as soon as I can.

Ok guys here's some more pics. I did alot of R&D this weekend and I think I have settled on a step design. It will bolt on through 2 sleeves that go through the body of the slider. I used thick wall pipe for the sleeves. I wanted a clean look so I designed them with the head of the bolt to be hidden. That also allows you to only need one wrench or socket to put them on and take them off. There is a extra hole in the slider body in the pics. That is a mistake I made. I forgot about the support on the other side of the slider body. If I would have put the other hole there it would have hit that support. Gotta love R&D. I fix it though. I will turn a solid bar at work to put through the hole and blend it in real nice. Let me know what you guys think of the steps.
