Got some scrathed and dented sills which may be inspiration to get ya started

I have the ARB steps on my GU and thats all they are good for steps! I often wish I had gone the Custom option.

No Plans - but see if a local 4x4 shop has any in stock or can point you to someone that has them installed.

Not too much to it - just a few bars with supports that go back to the chassis frame.

Im needing the same inspiration - tossing up between custom made and off the shelf..

can make yourself or will you need to buy, because if you can do it yourself you save a get what you want

They have saved my Patrol a few times.
Make sure they are strong, bent mine a few times.
Mine are off the shelf from ARB.
Catch alot of sticks underneath.

Mine are dented, scratched and and bent. That's what they are for. I think Pure Yobbo paid about $600 odd bucks for a set for Brutus. (bolseys.com.au) Mine are the same as his and have lasted well.

Frosty, just thought i would correct the link Bolsys

Apparently the guy has a good name and his products are pretty reasonably priced as well, however if you have the tools and know how then go for it (unfortunately I don't so eventually I will probably buy

)

its been a some time now but the sliders are finally done

and thay came out better than i expected them to.
i cut and bent them down my mates factory and he welded them up for me as my skills dont extend that far.
i made them a bit wider than the ones others sell, thay sit out just past the side flairs and i am planing to make scrub bars for them soon that will come straight down with out the bend back in at the bottom like arb sell
this should protect the front well i think i will post some more pics when thay are done

just hope thay dont catch to many sticks
