Sliders

Here's what I did, so far. 2x2x3/16 TS with the same wall thickness 1-1/2 going to the frame in 3 places.

Mine are kind of the same, I'll look to see if i have any pics, but theyre seriously a lengh of thick walled pipe that run the length of the cab and 4 pieces of pipe each welded from them to the frame. Super simple and they work awesome

I just got a set of TG rock sliders and I think they are a good bang for your buck.

I would definitely plate the frame at your mounting points. A square plate on diamond is common practice 3/16-1/4.

I was gonna fab up my own sliders but the DOM stuff from TG that i could get locally and full set of scab plates is hard to beat for the price. I've beat the piss outta em to, the scab plates and gussets make a huge difference.

i had a buddy who just welded em straight to the frame and he got a lot of flex when hittn the rocks.

Can you please post up some pics of the Scab plates and gussets? Not sure how this goes together thanks.
