PM michaels or funrover. i know both of them have made sliders for their rover.

if you've got a welder and something to cut the metal with, I say make your own. it would be cheaper by alot.

If you know what your doing, and have the tools to do it. I agree. Make your own, I am...eventually.

DiscoMike also has some good plans on how to make your own sill mounted sliders.

DiscoMike made his own front bumper as well right? Or am I thinking of someone else? Whatever the case I know it looked pretty good.

If you want to make your own and save some money, send me your e-mail address, I will send you some diagrams I have.

I vote to make your own...easy to do, cheaper, probably faster than waiting for them to ship to your door from manufacturer, and besides...the first time you drop them onto a rock and SCRRRAAAAPE!!! you get to say "yeah, I made those"

p.s. DiscoMike, I will call you this weekend if you will be available. Would love to come down to check out your sliders and look into converting my bumper.

it's way easy to do. or, if you want to wait a few weeks, i can make you a pair for $400 plus shipping.

Thanks for the feedback guys..... I think I will attempt to make my own sliders.

They are pretty easy to make if you know how to weld.
