Making rock sliders for a Hilux

In this ep, I get stuck into building my own custom rock sliders for my space cab Hilux. Using 40NB pipe and a cheap pipe bender I was able to start making bar work.
Let know how you think they turned out and if you've made some yourself.

Did you just disconnect the battery for welding and nothing else? Wanting to do the same to mine and don't want to fry ECU's etc

[@danloughridge3720]

Yeah just the negative from the battery. Try and earth as close to where you are welding as possible.

[@brendanmccormick984]

Looks great mate Could you right down all the measurements, cheers

[@danloughridge3720]

The sliders are 1660mm long with the bend coming in 200mm from either end. The is a 100mm gab between the pipe where the braces go. The chassis brackets depend on your car

[@fichtl500]

What is the diameter of the steel pipes used? What wall strength?

[@danloughridge3720]

I used 40nb and the wall I think is 3mm

[@kianrichard8139]

How far off the pinch on the sill is the braces bar? Do you also have a body lift?

[@danloughridge3720]

15-20mm by memory. Yeah running a vmn kit.

[@kianrichard8139]

@@danloughridge3720 1 or 2 in body lift?

[@danloughridge3720]

2 inch. If you go to all that effort might as well do the 2 inch

[@danloughridge3720]
