The lighting's not real good, so it's hard to tell on the frame. But, the rest looks decent. Meaning, the bumper's great, but the sliders are...well...gargantuan! You could put a sheet of metal over them, paint skulls and crossbones, and call them your DeathFlags!! Arrr! Capt'n Allan the Black, mateys!

Haha, I like the sliders. I really do think you should fill the middle with some sheet and paint a skull and crossbones on it. In green, to match the rollbar.

im thinking as for the big holes on the sliders maybe a gastank??? or even better taking them off and welding up a air tank in each one with shut off valves!!! that might work aye?
as for the job my boss told me to start working on my truck cause we didnt have anything else to do there and he just said so you get overtime this week punch out at 5 so heck i started working on my rig at about 2:30 and punched out at 5 lol i love it!!
and yes theres two of them heres some more and better pictures of the underbody (frame repair) and the rear bumper/slider thingy
outside frame repair
inside frame repair
rear of the truck!
and the drivers side slider

Wow! Allan, it looks pretty darn good all finished and cleaned up. I think the gas tank/air tank ideas may be not very practical. Things sticking out tend to get knocked around or off. I think you oughtta make a swing out tire/gear carrier that hinges on one and latches on the other.
Another thing.....you should make a crossbrace for the sliders that travels underneath the body and attaches at the bumper....making a triangle. It would give them a lot more support

I'm not really understanding those 'Sliders'. What purpose do they serve, other than bending into the body and causing a ton of body damage themselves?
Nice job on the frame fix tho.

I was thinking the same. It may be worthwhile to support the bottom of your slider there off the frame at the point most towards the wheel well.

Lovely choice of font, Allan.....tehehe.
All I can say is your body weight wouldn't have near the impact of your vehicle against rocks. But, if you believe it's strong enough....well, I'll guess you'll see. It may be just fine and we'll all be eatin' crow.
Maybe put atleast one more bar across the middle....horizontally...to protect the body being that the slider has such a wide opening and all.

Again, that welding won't last as the "stringer" goes from frame to patch plate and all over the place and there looks to be very little penetration, they are just all sitting on top of the base metal.
Prep your metal, get a bigger welder and freaking learn to weld if your gonna post pictures of it on the internet.
