Making sliders with no bender? Pics?
I am making a set of sliders for the Yota before we go up to Uwharrie for a trip. I am using round tube and have no bender. I want to see pics of what you guys have made without having a bender. I know i could miter cut it, but i really do not think it would look good. If i left it "open" between the outer and inner tube, i know i will get trail debris stuck there

I am still debating on using square tubing. My only issue with e round was that I have my rear bumper made out of 2x4 square tubing and i think asthetically it will look odd with rear square and the sides round but that is just a "looks" issue. I amy just cut the tube and bend the outer tube inward about 5 degrees, anyway i could finsih the round sliders, sell them and then get some square tubing.

I am curious to know how many people make sliders with the one tube like 86tuning's? I see all the companies offer the tube tubes, but a single one is so much simpler. Is the second one mainly for help getting in and out of the truck, like a step?

I think it is important to have a rail under the pinch weld to help spread the load WHEN (not IF) the sliders flex up. Of course, with the rail that far in, you don't get much body protection, so you need an outer rail.
