SLIDERS AND BARS (who is interested)

[Blacknav]

Great news Scotty, these things take time. I look forward to seeing some pics of the D22 sliders when the first set rolls out of production, i'm guessing they will be a similar design to Bolsy's or the set you have on your Navara?

Sounds like you've been busy Scotty! Was hoping you'd be doin bash plates, lookin forward to seeing your gear. U got a name for it all yet? Was thinkin bobcat bars but that's probably trademarked?!

Scotty whats going to happen about sump/front diff bash plates i ordered one from tjm in ballarat in january and i am still waiting so i think they can go and get fornicated

 

[scottybobcat]

Yes Dave we will be getting to them but I have had to build the workshop first.We are going to get some sets of sliders made this week so everyone can see the qaulity product.
We will then get onto the rear bars and bash plates

Whats the chance of making a stronger front diff housing for the d40's? Or maybe start a thread to see if theres much interest

 

[scottybobcat]

Great idea Kyle but there is only 2 of us mate.lol
May do a prototype though.

Sounds like we should import stadium trucks and put our current rego plates on them.
Even then we still wont be happy

I think its kinda been covered but I just wanna ask out of curiousity.
Will your sliders have enough room to use as a step? even a half assed step cross between slider and side step??
Id be happy to apply some skateboard stuff on top of the bar. I dont need full flat running boards. I think that would keep most ball and chains and groins happy would I be right??

Hey Scotty, have u seen the arb under body protection on the wall at Yarra valley 4x4? It looks pretty sweet. Think they only do it for the hilux they said. Might give you a few ideas but.
Cheers

The ones I have on mine give you enough room to stand on.I have a size 12 foot and stand on mine with no dramas.

Last night we got our paint delivery and sanding discs and the like.
Hopefully we will have our first set of sliders done by the weekend and will post up pics so you can see the quality of the work.
Thanks for being patient guys.
