Brecklin, I love your rig man; enjoyed your build thread. I plan to get some hrew to add some kickouts to my roll bar.

Sorry, but even for a Sami, do not use hrew, it dents waaaay to easy. If you're going to be cheap, at least use sch40 pipe.

I've had HREW sliders since 2011 on a Toyota mini truck, plenty of rash but no dents.

I built these last year. Nutserts into the body as well as frame tie-in at the rear and roll cage tie-in at the front.

Guess you don't hit many rocks?
I've seen even 120 Dom bend bad enough smash the rocker and make the door not open. This wasn't on a drunk guys beat down rig either.Wilson

You must not wheel

Damn, how did that even happen?Guess you don't hit many rocks?
I mean I don't go looking for rocks to hit on purpose, but if it happens it happens.
Maybe not as hard as some, but shit does get wheeled. Nice Sami BTW!

When you're on a trail that's all rock for 2-3 days, your Sliders get used. Even in creepy crawly 250:1 toyota speed, some times you just come off something hard.Damn, how did that even happen?

I’ve seen Tim’s rig in person. Even 10 years ago there wasn’t a straight part on it.

Using super thin tube to save weight with little concern for damage is one thing, but using hrew over Dom is just cheap
I always try to be weight conscious. My sami rear bumper is 2x4x120, but completely full of holes and dimples. Weighs like 30 lbs. Rock Sliders I always go over board, I like 2x3x3/16" or 1.5" schd 80, unless you want to save weight, then 120 chromo is the way to go.
Also, I should note, my current Sami has "factory" rock Sliders....
These came from Trail Tough, not sure of the wall thickness of the tube but I can smash the full weight of the vehicle on the middle of them against a pointed rock and not bend them. They are fawking heavy though.

The fact that they are too short would drive me nuts!

Mine are 2x4 1/4” wall. Tied into frame and cage. I’ll snap some pics tomorrow. In retrospect I wish I had done boatsides, but keeping thefloor and not doing sheet metal work was the plan. Buuuuuut, here in New England there are about 50/50 rocks to trees, so it’s nice to rotate around trees with my sliders, as opposed to getting a 4-6” sapling stuck inside my tire.
They are what shape they are because of the body mounts and being tied to the frame. I thought it might bother me but I don’t even see them anymore. Also worried they left the corners of the fenders exposed and that I’d smash them in.

Little late to the party here, but I snapped some pics today. Nothing pretty. Ugly welds. But beat them up and they hold up.
