Hi guys this has probably been asked before but was wondering what size pipe you are using to make rock sliders and bar work? Sick of worrying about damage.
Also what's the best way to attach rock sliders?

Cheers

50Mm o/d 3 to 5 mm wall you can ubolt around the chassi rail, or sandwich the chassi rail with plates and bolts or drill through the chassi rail and bolt with crush tubes, if its jyst a bush hack weld it with a 100cm2 plate to spread load.
Waiter...there is a drought in my glass.
