Fitting rock sliders?

Post by suzuki_mike »

Have started making rock sliders for the escudo. Just wanted to know how you guys have attached your's. Would prefer a bolt up system as my welding is pretty shabby. Cheers, Mike

RokHound posted some good stuff about how he bolted his sliders up to his surf chassis.

If you can find the thread you might even see the stray coach bolt in one of the photos :wink:
