sliders to suit torranno

very nice.

might have to get you to bend up steel to be welded onto mine.

I see you have made two left hand ones. Maybe when you make two right hand ones we could come to some sort of deal?

na left an right just sitting side by side
do i have to remeasure them and make a drawing incase i have to make another set, then again not sure your torran is the same as these are for

What about a set for my Safari

when i prefect ones for mine, will see

what dimensions are the pipe and box section, was gona go 4mm wall on my ones but thinking again might be an over kill, but then again, no problems with over kill in the engineering business aye!!

I'm sorry when I saw the thread title I expected to see a picture of two eighteen year old blue eyed blonde haired d cup'd females...

they are 3mm wall, the trucks heavy as now , hes not a tuff truck so anything is better than stock running boards

I assume that the 25 x 25 is also 3mm or is the whole thing is made out of 3mm wall tube and RHS and the bits that attach to the chassis etc.

All Terrano chassis should be the same, its just the running gear and bodies that are different.

If you do manage to get a drawing and god forbid, some prices up, you may have a small market for some fabricationing.

my guessings are chassis size 135 x52 , from chassis to pinch weld 135mm total lenght of the slider 1600mm

there is no 25x25 in these, 40x40 + 40 od pipe and few bits of 6mm plate

That looks sweet, even more reason for me to get my hands on some.
Did you do the bending yourself?

yes we have pipe benders threaders and all sorts or engineering tools , hans is coming down south a xmas wants to come and see you with his modded steering have a look then

Cheers, yes I forgot he was coming down. I will be here, there's too much work here for me to escape.
I wonder if I can distract him long enough that they might fall off his truck.

What are you cladding them in?
When they are wet, open bars like that are just waiting to snap your legs and ankles.

I have open steel grate on my 'lux and have just finished some with alloy checker plate for the prado.

Other than that, they look real nice. As I have said before, I honestly believe that a good set of side bars and sill sliders are the most useful protection addition you can make to any 4wd.

wasn't intending to clad them, 12 bolts and nylocks hold them on , falling off is not on the plan

Real nice job on the bars. Doing some myself and for a novice i find it's taking me ages. hopefully get them sorted soon.

Think he was meaning slipping off the bars when you put your foot on them and having your leg slide through??

people think slipping is a proplem with these sliders never slipped off mine, nor my son or wife who sits in the back of my swb saf, its a small step , nothing more,

add 3mm checker to these ones man they were heavy but on a lwb safari.

MMMmmmmmme likey.

Have been wanting to make some of those for the Nav.
They look good and tough...like they could take a good beating.

a day on my back under the dam thing to get the u brackets to fit, you measure the chassis hight but nissan add a ridge that need another 5mm on top of what you measure, its got me twice now . also no room on top of the rail to get a bolt and have steel to retain the bolt is a interesting job

Badass. I'd be keen as for a set if you decided to make a few

the rhs or box section is 50x3mm pipe is 50mm OD plate is 6mm

yeah they look pretty cool. got a set on the safari but the pipe is 85mm OD. Top is covered in checkerplate. Big but man they have hit some stuff. Also keep small trees off the panels as well as clay banks! Just have to lug a little more weight.
