Slider/step

I didn’t like the original steps into the jeep. I really like Norcal69’s sliders that he sells. I had some leftover tubing from the roll cage installation and decided to give it a go to copy his sliders. I like them better than the step, but I think they are too far off the body. They need to be cut down slightly. What do you all think? I see Norcal69 has twice the bolts in his, but I don’t think I’ll be sliding off any big boulders here in Florida. I will be placing the reproduced steps in the classifieds.

 

Looks okay as a step, but with that much leverage any hard hits would bend the bodywork, so it appears. But I'm not a slider type of guy.

 

I agree. I think if I tighten in toward the body it will be stronger.

 

The flange I welded to is angled under the body and attached with bolts. I just think it is too wide. I’ll chop them down tomorrow.
