A little something I've been secretly working on.
These are called rock sliders but for my Jeep, they'll be more step bars than anything. They will add some side impact protection too. The only dirt this Jeep see's is what it's sitting on in my driveway. But... if any big rocks get in my way in the future, I'll be ready for them!
I designed mine to have the 45 degree front and the 90 degree turn in at the rear. I've never seen any like this, most are 90's at both ends but I gotta be me.
Made from 2 inch schedule 40 pipe with weld on elbow fittings. I tried bending some of this stuff years ago and it only kinked so the pre-made elbows we're the best way to go. I fabricated the mounting brackets from 3/16 steel and designed them to bolt in with 2 of the body mounts. I was standing on this and it did not move!
I am considering adding a small step plate to the top, maybe about 12 inches but still in design stage there. I had to stop, ran out of filler wire. (guess I've been welding too much!)
