another set of rock sliders...

I ended up making the wise decision this past spring break and stayed in town, instead of breaking the bank to go snowboarding at Tahoe, a buddy and i ended up designing and welding up our rocksliders this break. I was going to take some pics during, and right after, but i ended up going camping. IMO, well spent $40 and two days worth of work. Tell me what you think.

I'll take some pics of how i welded to the frame, but dont laugh, im ashamed of the welds,
btw, i just used 1.5"x1.5"x.120" wall piping, i bought 20 ft. of it, then measured out 5' for the length, then measured out the rest for the kickouts and the legs to frame.
thanks guys.

hey nicely done man! yeah giving up a trip to go ridin is tough esp if you know its gonna be a good one. but at least you know you spent that time (but definitely not the $$$) in something equally rewarding.
