Smile My 4dr rockslider and uni-body stiffeners

i made these but i didnt install them yet

driver side




Passenger Side




There made from 1/4 thick seamless harded boiler pipe. There 1.75" diameter. the sliders will be welded to 1.50" square stock on 3x3" mild plate steel with 4 bolt holes. The uni-body will be stiffened up with 1/4" plate steel. the sliders will be mounted to the stiffened uni-body by drill and trap in the plate steel so they can be romoved if needed. also going to put bump stop pads on them to lessen the force of a rock or any other impact



I also made door protection bars 4 the sliders but dont have any pics yet

i would suggest making them so that they are actually right under the slider and protect it more cause right now they just look like steps
