OK, instead of allowing our skid plates and sliders to be gouged by the rocks, and getting all rusty---how about replaceable skid runners, maybe held in place with carriage bolts?

I have found a source for white, or black, 1/4" however the minimum 10 foot roll of 72". Anyone interested in getting a group together. I could cut to fit and we all could pay for our share-

15 bux for 1 foot of white, 22 for black

I just wanted to throw this out there--because I need them but don't need a whole roll of the stuff.

Oh
the shipping is only about 20.00 for the roll.

15 bux for a 1ft square or for a 1ft 72in rectangle?

You really have a thing against rust don't you... :D

yeah--

it is a 10 foot roll of 72" long material. 12" x 72" = 15.00 for white, 22.00 for black.

So, I guess that is about 2.50 per quare foot white, 3.75 or so for black
 






Bump!

I'm in. Anyone else?

Wont take much of this material to do both of my sliders. 72"x4" for each slider. A 16"x72" will leave enough for replacements. Is 1/4" thick enough to recess the bolt heads? Pan heads would grind down and make for hard replacement, but we could cut them off with a sawzall. 3/8" would allow for a better recess and use of a fender washer.

Black of course!
 






Where are you buying this from? Im looking for 3/8 or 1/2" UHMW but havent been able to find any place with reasonable prices.
