Rock Slider Mod! - How to.

[[__--MUD--__]]

Looks like an easy and actually cheap mod.

I'm going to be doing some H20 slider/ucp knockoffs when I catch up w/ everything else. But I'm doing that to protect my Amp power steps if I can come up w/ a way to integrate the two.

Gotter done...we don't need no stinkin' steps

Hi all,

I'm planning rock sliders as well on my 04. The stock sliders work, but I've tore off my steps before also. I want the rails to be away from the body with a step plate on them.

My shop is coming together.



Tools:
32 ton shop press, not tested on 1/2" yet.
Pipe bender will bend 2" x 0.25 wall.
CNC plasma table can cut 1/2" plate.

Material:
Rails - 2" x 0.25 wall round tubing.
Brackets - made from 0.5" steel plate.

Build notes:
1) Setting up plasma table now.

2) Can make steps from 0.5" plate with Hummer cut into the step material, cool.

For cutting those blocks you need a horizontal band saw. You can have them all cut in an hour. Cheap horizontal saws start at $250, here. Harbor Fright there about $200, with a 20% coupon.
