Paul64 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I saw this advert for rock sliders on Paddocks web site. Do all 110 rock sliders require drilling of rear outriggers? Cheers, Paul Part No. PM766 80mm x 40mm heavy duty box section. Integral jacking points front and rear. Easy to fit but requires drilling of rear outriggers. Black powder coated over zinc plate.

western Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Have a look at Southdown4x4 SideSill/Rock sliders I like the end caps that match the wheel arch flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Humphreys Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I know the Mill Services ones you have to drill the out rigger. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I like the ones that East Coast Rover do in the States, you can see how they fit to the front outrigger here and the back ones here (scroll down about 2/3 the way) i might copy these for a little project and see how it goes.

Do they fix the rock sliders like that anywhere in the UK. Do you think it is a bit of overkill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Do they fix the rock sliders like that anywhere in the UK. Do you think it is a bit of overkill? Apparently unbendable though... and i often wonder how strong the bolt is on the bulkhead outrigger... OK,it's not going to shear off in any hurry, but their method certainly spreads any load evenly on the outriggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoatBuoy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The Southdown ones are very neat, and well worth the money if you have a tidy motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoatBuoy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I just missed a set on ebay, went for £76, kickin' myself Saw them on Mark90s 110. Look mucho lot neater than the mill services one. Very nice finish. Sayining that, Mill Services are functional, especially with the sticky-outty bar bits, although not sure if you can jack off them.

gruntus Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Gents, Has anyone had a go at fabricating rock sliders themselves? They don't look overly complicated to manufacture (the southdown ones look a bit more tricky albeit very nice). Before I get hammered Im not trying to knock anyones business!!! I just thought those of us with a limited budget could save quite a few quid by making making up some basic functional sliders. I am sure a bit of box section, right angle bar and a welder a very basic set of sliders could be made up quite cheaply. I have also thought the same with some of the steering/ front axle protectors for sale. Let me know your thoughts. Regards Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Grant I made a set on my last 90. Not that hard when you sit down and think about it. The set I made mounted at the front both sides if the bulkhead. If I can describe it better the slider had 2 flanges on the front that went up either side of the bulkhead and then the big b/head mounting bolt went thru the lot, on the rear I found some pipe that fitted inside the tubular outrigger. When they were fitted I then drilled through the outrigger and put 2 bolts in to positively lock it all in place. My current 90 has a similar setup and I rolled that at an event 18 months ago and it all held up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I bought a set for my 90 and then copied them for my other 90 and got them galv'd. I've got all the dimensions here in .jpg format if anyone wants them (PM me your email addy). i made mine to fit in the round tubular outrigger and use the bolt on the bulkhead.
