All the rock sliders for the Disco 1 and 2 attach in a similar way to these shown above. They are a 5mm plate "U" channel that covers the lower sill area between the wheel arches. There aren't any brackets attaching to the chassis on any of the designs. I have saved the plan's I've downloaded and can upload them if someone is interested.

Paul, it will be interesting to see those plans. Thanks.
That is how we learn. Slowly in my case.

I'll load them when I have the computer on. I'm operating with my phone at the moment.

Flat bar bends if it is not thick enough and then they are heavy? Square tubing seems the way to o.

[KurtG]

Yes, Square tubing has a higher bending moment than round tube of equivalent dimensions

As promised, here are the plans for the Disco 2 rock sliders.
I got them from this thread - https://landroverforums.com/forum/disco ... und-28617/

At least they won't rust.
Why does everyone worry so about our Land Rovers marking their territory.

Have you got a photo of those mounted to an actual vehicle?

I don't have any saved photos, but there were some from a thread where a guy used the plans to build a set. When I have a gap I'll try to find the link.

Decided to have a go at making up some Sliders for the SJ.
I am definitely a function over form type so nothing pretty
