First of all, sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, and secondly, these were designed and welded by two amateur welder high schoolers.


This is before they were painted/bedlined.


After painting/bedlining/installing.

What do you guys all think?

 

i say not bad!!! they look some brand ive seen bofore i cant remember though

They kinda look like these...

I like knowing that I built them myself though.

 

yep those are it

 

We didn't copy them though, I didn't even know those existed until they were done and I wanted to see how much sliders were to buy. (These cost about $70 in material)

 

I say great job. Homebrew almost always beats bought.

 

didnt say you copied them, but i think you did a dang good job on them, props to ya!

 

Very nice i like the bedliner too

 

Yea its pretty nice. Bedliner took forever to dry but i think that it was worth the durability/non-glossy look.

 

Ya dun good pardner!!! Looks way too good for a High School project.

 

haha thanks! it was our first major welding project, other than just practicing on scrap metal. I have to admit though, my buddy's dad is a certified welder so he made sure we knew what we were doing before he let us start the project.

 

They look pretty stout. Nice work.

 

Nice job really sweet lookin. Gives me inspiration to get off my dead duff and do something.

 

They look awesome! Thanks for posting the photos. I am just about to finish a set of plain ones and was thinking of either adding a full rail like you did and attach them to the main rail on a 45 or, to add 2 short side rails about 12 inches long and weld them to the side of the main rail on 45's right where you would need to step on them to climb in. I can't decide which look I like best, guess I like them both. Nice job!
