Thanks. I followed Gary at one point! I couldn't do that! I use mine for everyday driving so it has to be 'good' for the road. |

Maybe, but you could be better off making a set from scratch. You are better with tree sliders realy to stop the doors getting pushed in. One thing don't fit rock sliders untill you have fitted any body lift if you intend to.
90 ones will be way to short, maybe look at 110 sliders? _________________ Front Aussie Locker - Rear LSD - Petrol Diffs

I made my own sliders which are welded to the chassis, for what you'd pay for some defender ones which then need to be modded you can buy the steel and have a set knocked up that will fit. Think i've got about £50 in materials plus my time in mine. If you plan on a body lift as Matt says don't get any fitted yet! Sure there's plenty people who can help you out on here with making a set.
Great pics everyone. I didn't get any, if i did they'd of all been of sam and pauls rear bumper _________________ landcruiser 80 series 4.5, 35's/33's for road, 2inch lift, discreet winch, sliders/armour, factory lockers, stainless side exit +++++ |
