Hey all, during chubfest a well placed rock decided to take off my rocker molding put a decent hit to the pinch weld on my expo, and found more rust/rot on my rockers. I need sliders and new rockers! This is what i'm going off of for my initial idea (for now i'm gonna sand and paint my moldings and bondoing up the rockers as a temp fix) http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/rockers/rockers.htm . Since these will get used as sliders in addition to rocker replacements I will have to tie them into the frame. This might be done by welding mounts onto the frame and have a corresponding mount on the rockers so I can just bolt them on, this will make any future body lift (not planned though) possible. I would also like to make mounts for etensions so I can use the sliders as a pivot point, and extra body protection from trees, it also might in the future serve as mounting points for an exo cage. What do you all think...the basic idea is on the pirate link, making it work ont he expo will require some modifications. I'm going to try to design some on auto cad so i'll post them when I do it. Just looking for inital thoughts!
