I have seen bolt on style and the price on them. 400+ or was it 600 it was a outraguse number don't remember the site sorry

you mean nerf bars

edit: after re reading this post and talking with eightyfive i realized i was a bit snotty in my remark about nerf bars. i "thought" he was referring to nerfbars but he obviously wasnt
I apologized to 85 and just want to clear that up

I know its trail gear, but it looks like these would make any rocker a bolt on...

Just curious, why would you want them removable?

the stronger and more permanent the attachment point, the better off you are.

I was just thinking that. I was running through why I would want to ever remove rock sliders and couldn't come up with one reason. I can see wanting to take the stockers off, but that's it.

just buy a piece of plate steel drill 4 holes in it and weld them to your sliders then they are removable

i would like bolt on because i can't weld....simple as that. thats the main reason i didn't go high steer yet. maybe i should just wait until i find someone with welding skills.

There has to be 80 people near you on this board that could help you out with a little weldin. I'd do it, but I am a leetle far away.

you mean nerf bars dont slide anything off those but maybe snow

pardon me if i offended you,

the nerf bars are the only thing ive seen that are mass produced that could be confused with rocksliders

eightyfive · « **Reply #15 on:** May 02, 2006, 12:42:20 PM »

offended, no. just re-clearifying what i originally said....you obviously didn't understand.

cteng...perfect! thanks

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #18 on:** May 02, 2006, 08:37:36 PM »

Still think you are better off welding them on

Post up that you need someone to help you weld something, I'm sure there's someone in your area.

Shamb · « **Reply #19 on:** May 02, 2006, 09:17:06 PM »

you can make a set of $150.

eightyfive · « **Reply #20 on:** May 02, 2006, 09:18:51 PM »

we'll see what happens with the welding....i WISH i can make my own!

I would really like a flat bed that was bolt on...

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #22 on:** May 03, 2006, 07:48:25 AM »

So build one...

I've been thinking about this for quite a while too. Wouldn't be hard to just make it bolt to the bed mounts, then weld on whatever other mounts you need for more strength.

ok suggestions. I would just do it right and save yerself some $$$. One company mentioned sells them for 135$ w/shipping. I know they're hot-rolled but still. If you can't weld I'm sure you can find a local competent welder to throw 'em on for $100. I don't think the Four Real sliders are made for Toys.

I do like the fact that the Bentup rockers have the "U" plate that wraps around the frame for the bolt-on version. Weld those suckers on and they ain't goin' nowhere!

Theres a guy on TTORA that makes some pretty good engineering-type arguments as to why bolt-on is superior to weld-on. I believe Roger Brown also discusses it on his site. Something about stress being applied more evenly on the frame or something, in addition to removeability.
