Tube Rock Sliders
Made these up the other day. I used 1.75 x .120" tube (this is the size tube I always use on the sliders I build). I was planning on welding them on, but then decided to bolt them on. Each one has 3 mounting points. Haven't had to use them yet, but they will definitely hold up!

looks good! but I would run a full pinch seam mount. they way you have it now is that you you have 3 pressure points rather than the force being spread out over an entire area and I can very easily see them being bent up

I'm curious what hardware you used to do the mounting. You didn't have to drill and run a bolt all the way through the frame did you? Or did you use self-tapping screws with a beefy diameter? I ask because I have some AJ's Rock Sliders that I purchased used, and I've no hardware. Trying to figure out the best product/fastener for the purpose. Thanks.
