Thread: mounting rock sliders

Well I do lots of heavy transport chassis repair/lengthen/shortening so I guess that?

so if i weld plates on I wont need cert? wonder what exactly Im signing off

so for pure strength purposes am i better to weld a 20mm tapped plate to my chassis, or make boltable mounts for around the chassis.

That depends how you make them I spos? I could and did quiet often lift my whole vehicle with a forklift on each slider to change wheels.

My understanding is you have to be a certified welder to affect any repair/modification to structural and it has to be "signed off" by a design engineer but then cars are different.

im making them king kong, 50mm steam pipe shouldnt bend to easily i hope.

Should be plenty, I had 40 mm shed40.
Run them as wide as you can get away with, mine were about 30 mm outside the tires so could just turn into a bank on tight tracks and the bar would push the arse end out and around

I would love to see some photos Is 20mm plate a bit over the top? bet she would start getting heavy.
