Looks good there fella. Well done :wink:

I do have a wee question :roll:

Is the gap between the sliders and the sill big enough for a foot to go through? Could be nasty if so :wink:

this question isnt aimed at you but in everyone in general, why hasnt anyone rolled or bent to the shape of a guard? i personally dont like the look of the 'usual' guard bar work, is it just tooo hard or is a time thing? or a machine thing?

coxsy · Post by **coxsy** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:16 pm

the high and mighty time factor is a major thing in this, choose the standard look as there is work piling up that needs to be done, and this toyo was in the way

you mean like this? I got my one rolled in a set of tube rollers, but it actually needs to be bent in two planes, actually its curved in two planes, wasn't easy at all, I suppose you could do it with a bunch of little bends next to each other, but I suspect it would come out looking like an octagon :lol:

IT was quite hard to get one side an exact mirror of the other too, looks oddball if it aint right :roll:

With the sliders is it ok to weld to chassis or does that require a cert.

Welded requires cert

Sorry but I don't like them.
The sliders are too far from the body.
The angle of the pipe along the side by the guard looks wrong.
They look like they would get hooked on anything they touch.
But that's just my opinion :roll:

As you were :wink:

most properly right, first time for bush bars sliders took two times to get right, but nobody want to pay for the work so you get what you can

Or like this (following gaurd shape)?
As jafa said, it is a bitch to do. Mine still have to get the flares fitted over the top of the bar work yet.

Something else worth noting on those side bars is that there is no actual sill protection. Now if you like having your truck looking like a massive, beaten up piece of shit, that is fine. But if you are fitting barwork to actullay protect the skin, then you have to think about what takes the biggest hiding.

yeah there way out there but you can see there like that to stay in line with the width of the deck to try at stop it from getting hooked up :mrgreen:

Yea I can sorta see the logic behind them and I don't like to knock others work but perhaps if there was another bar put through the gap between the body and the outside they may look a bit better. :?:

coxsy · Post by **coxsy** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 7:34 pm

yes can see that, but these are welded to chassis which i don't like, straight off plus the ends are unsupported, can, will rip the chassis,at sometime
