Rocksliders
Since no one makes rock sliders to suite my vehicle they had to be custom made. Jake from Allset Springs of Caloundra did the honours and I had them powder coated to match the Bull Bar. We have since added some reinforcing to the rear mount. They are constructed from pipe with a 3mm wall thickness so, they are quite solid, and quite heavy, however I have no idea what they weigh.
I then needed to make some kind of trim to fill the resulting gap. I also had this Powder Coated to match. This trim can be seen in the adjacent photo gallery below. It comprises of a piece of Aluminium flat bar and a piece of aluminium RHS stuck together and mounted as one piece. I think it turned out looking quite neat if I do say so myself. *Toots own horn* I was told that it would all fall apart and fall off the car because of my chosen fixing method but it's been on for well over a year now and has been through creeks & mud and has been water blasted and.... it's still there. I suppose I should do the trim on the driver's side one day as well. Haha.
