So I got a bunch of 3/16 wall C-channel for free from a friend of mine and today decided to fab up a set of rock sliders with it. With the channel I was able to tuck it up tight and at a slight angle covering the lower rocker pinch weld. I didn't take too many pictures today, but will tomorrow when I build the passenger side.

I think the channel should hold up well and I'm going to go back and throw in some 3/16 gussets to stengthen it up further. Its pretty damn beefy in the corners though. I may also add some type of drain holes so I can at least spray mud out too.

Anyway here's the couple of pictures I took.

 

They look good man. What kind of welder is that?

 

Hobart handler 125

 

Sorry to derail but how do you like it?

 

For the inexpensive little box it is I love it

 

As promised more pictures of the other side I did today.






Some of my better beads today



And then there were 2

 

Didn't think I would like the channel but those are really slick, should be plenty strong.

 

Here they are all Raptor lined

 

Nice! I like em.

One thing I would suggest, since you used c-channel, I would drill some drain holes in the lower side of the sliders and on the legs. Otherwise, you just made place for mud/water to get trapped and rust.

Other thatn that, they look great!

 

that!

they look awesome if you ask me, nice angles, high and tight....

 

Yea that's on my list of final touches for them.

 

how heavy are they?

 

Lighter than the 2x4 tubes ones I'm building right now

 

Nice work man! Im just wondering how.you're gonna attach them though?

 

thanks im design a set kinda like these but im going to have some angle iron come up to the door jam
