Now for the next project....
Should be better off road than the X5 as the Porsche has diff locks & Low range.

not whether they suit'em its more about the damage if you dont have'em.
Its the way i would be looking at sliders.
Cause you never know when that rock or tree will step out and toast ya sills if you dont protect them ah

I followed the bmw X5 thread, it was nice work and it was entertaining. And it was novel. Now you have this project, with low range and diff locks and 380 horsepower.... certainly not what many would do with a Yuppie road warrior vehicle.
I've come to the conclusion , that you are either bored, or a little crazy ! (a hint of admiration there/ not of criticism)
Do you intend to on sell this one as well, or will it be a medium term keeper?
SUBSCRIBED!!!

exactly.. at the end of the day I guess they are just super strong side steps... but getting the WOF guy to agree may be a different story.
Hence I would like to know 1st.

Sliders shouldnt affect any srs systems. They will be lower then the doors so should not be of any concern.
Seperate note is how to fix them on as mono chassis dont really have a rail as such.
For up lift you could use legs and plates so it loads the floor pan around the area where the o.e side step mounts are.
For laterial force that would of been transfurred to the chassis rail maybe bracket around 3 sides and a upper plate bolted through the floor. Would pay to check with those that know more than me tho.
As ive only played with full chassis wagons and they are way easy.
Again before drilling holes get it checked out as there will be no go areas. That i am certain of.
