Corrode Finger Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 As my trucks a hybrid, i have got to make the rocksliders, to get it to work. Now these are normally made from box section in varying sizes. Can they be made of Tube? Only wondering as i might be able to get some FREE tube in 75 - 100 dia? Wont bother if this is a rubbish idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Mine are tube, something like 60mm IIRC. Bigger may start to look a little odd/bling bling ornamental. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Sure you can make them out of tube.. in the states they call them nerf bars is this the sort of thing you where thinking ? they are not for me tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrode Finger Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Not quite what i had in mind. It would just have been tube in place of box to run conventionally between the wheels. Ie as a normal rockslider replacing the naff ali cills( as i have none). I only asked as i might be able to get some brand new unused steel gas pipe, that is 'spare' from site. Thats if i can rescue it before it gets skipped!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Why not, especially if it's free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything "spare" on our site gets liberated - just ask Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess most off the shelf ones are box as they'll be marginally easier to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Paul, if there's any going spare then I may be able to "recycle" it got an exhaust and snorkel to do at the moment so a bit of 75mm would be very handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I made my own rocksliders from H/D 100x50mm box section. I can't see any problem with using tube. The mounting brackets would be an interesting shape at the front though. A sort-of dog leg to go up to the bulkhead bolt. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
