for those already running sliders, would you sell just what you have shown above, the armor protecting your rocker panels? being bolt on that would add some extra protection and look good as a bolt on application that could be welded to existing rockers if need be?

We have more work to do on these. This is the first prototype off the table. We'll post more pics as we get further along.

I like those sliders. Kind of like a beefed up version of the old Rock Ratz slider. Will be interested in seeing the final product and pricing. Definitely hold off buying sliders until then.

Any thoughts about adding some 1.5" tube to the sliders to give some width protection? I like to use mine to pivot around things at times...
