Diy rock sliders

[Shankem-Deep]

Haven't got to the M-1009's yet. My buddy and I can't seem to get our schedules together in order for me to keep his 09 for the weekend. I'll hit him up again today and see if he would miss it if I borrow it this weekend. I'll let you know.

I've got an extra one in Tulsa you can borrow.

My buddy came through and brought his 09 to my shop yesterday evening, so I now have one. Thanks for the offer though!!! I'm hoping to get some designed and mocked up this weekend, but it may not be until next week since I have a member coming up to pick up his sliders and get them installed tomorrow. I'll do what I can though!

[Shankem-Deep]

I should have a set done by tomorrow night if I can put about 2 hours towards them.

A fellow member came to my shop this past Sunday to get his sliders installed. I learned a few more things with this install. (1) It's much easier to get to the rear mounts if you remove the rear tires. (2) When marking the holes for the rear mounts with the transfer punch; you may not be able to get to all 4 with the slider in place. You can get to at least 2 then remove the slider and drill the holes that you were able mark.Then make a template to mark the position of the remaining holes. You can use the bolts in the holes you just drilled to hold your template as you mark the remaining holes. I wish we would have taken more install pics but we we're running out of time. I think the install took us about 2-1/2 hours. Use a 1/4" pilot drill before the 1/2" drill. Overall the install was fairly easy. It's a little bit of a tight squeeze for your arms and hands putting in the rear nuts and bolts but very doable. Watch out for fuel lines etc. when drilling through the frame. I had to bend one line out of the way slightly, no biggie just be aware. Cut a 2x4 or 2x6 at about 2-1/2" to take up the space in your frame that way you can use a clamp to hold the sliders in place while you mark for the holes to be drilled. Any questions just ask.

Thanks Darren. Looking forward to getting mine!

These are some nice sliders, I have a similar planned setup in my head for my truck. Are you using any plating on the back side of the frame to "sandwich" it in between mounts? I didn't see any pictures of such so I figured I'd ask.

 

[Shankem-Deep]

No, but if you wanted to it would be easy to add. Or you could add some larger washers to spread the load on the frame out more; that way you don't have to match the bolt holes in the mounting plates.

Got mine yesterday! Just as heavy duty as all the pictures on this thread have shown. I will probably be doing the install the middle of next week when I have a few days off. I'll try to take plenty of pics of the install too.

Once you have pricing, I'd like to get in line for a 1009 set....

 

[Shankem-Deep]
