In this video we fabricate some bolt-in rock rails for our CJ that also have a side step. These steps could be made to fit any kind of Wrangler (YJ, TJ, JK) or Jeep in general. The plans for this Jeep is to do a full restoration, including a Chevy 350 and manual transmission swap. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for some more of this project along with weekly uploads.
What is the diameter of the pipes and thickness.
I can't….I just wasn't 10 minutes of my life. Pie cut? How about cut the shit the right way and actually give it some structural strength! In fairness…first time? Not terrible but definitely remember that the strongest geometric shape is a tri angle.
I like the idea of using washers instead of messing with angles, I think I’ll to that on my K10
Why not just cut the ends of the bars that attatch to the plat at the frame cut it at an angle instead of the pie cut
You should have put pipe in the frame around the bolts so the frame didn't crush in
I would think you could have not cut a "V" at all… just cut that angle at the mounting plate.
What welder do you have?
If it flexes with your weight on it then it will bend up and bust the sill when the cars whole weight is on it
Need to turn your amps up your running to cold and lower your wire speed a tad and with the leg u usually cut a v and close the gap up and instead of drilling holes in frame you should clamp slider to the chassis plate back and front 2 bolts top 2 bolts bottom
How much did your materials cost?
I think the best advice I can give you is this old saying. "There is never time to do it right yet there's always time to do it over"
That looks great, but what happens when you pull the body and put new bushings in?
Awesome to see a couple of young people jump off in to the deep end and do all this work themselves.
This video was one long cringe haha
Not much of rock sliders that would get hung bigger than shit
You should upgrade those bolts you have on there
No offense but you’ve got much to learn about welding and metal working. Google welding techniques sometime, there’s a lot of great vids on here that if you really take the time to watch and practice you’ll really benefit and learn from
I think I might have worked the frame with body off first to insure it was strong and in good shape.
these would be "steps" real sliders are welded on and will support the vehicle when thrown onto them on and angle.
awesome vid guys……..
Turned out great! Good job guys!
