Week after next, before Christmas, I have a few days off and am going to make some sliders.
I am going to buy a used chop saw on ebay and should have it before I get ready to start.
I have read many, many slider threads and have the general idea of what I want to do, but am debating on what materials to use.
Round?
Square?
Cold Rolled?
DOM?
I am leaning towards some heavy wall approx 2"- 3" round tubing to try to keep a factory running boards kind of look. I will remove my factory steps and put these in their place. I looked at a 4 door X today with factory tube style steps, and I think I will mimic that general style and spacing.
I am new to this whole sliders thing, so your input would be much appreciated- thanks!
