I was talking with a friend/mechanic down at my local dealer. He said a guy came in with a set of rock sliders that extened under the rig to protect more than just the sill. Does anybody know who makes a set of sliders that extened under the rig? I'm pondering a set of sliders for my next "big purchase." thanks, Matt | ||

Hmmmm, sounds like a mud trap to me. | ||

That's a good point Will. I think cleaning the mud out with a hose is a small price to pay for the extra protection though. There's not much mud where I live, but there are lots of big rocks waiting to take a bight out of my yellow disco. The rubicon isn't to far away too! Thanks | ||

If the slider extended to the frame what would it protect? Your body mounts? | ||

Will and Matt, the door sills are very soft, it doesn't take much of a hit on the slider to mangle it bad. I've started driving much more carefully after I installed the SafariGard sliders (sill-mountable). There's a very good reason for a slider to be mounted on the frame - and it is not an easy task for it not to jam into the body as it moves a bit on the mounts. |
