Confusion over sills/sliders?
simon15:
Right my sills are knackered both sides on my disco and im going to be fitting rock slider/jackcable sills soon.
Do they replace the sills or do the bolt to the sills?
Just dont want to go putting new sills on to find out they need to come off to put the sliders on.
Cheers

Disco and RRC after market rock sliders bolt on to the existing sills rather than replace them.
The alternative is to relpcae you sills with hefty box section, and extend them into rock sliders, but its not a 5 minuet job. particuarely if like me your doing the footwells at the same time.

Depends on the type you buy.
Some bolt or weld onto the chassis in some way, some bolt through the existing sills.
Either way, I'd say the starting point is having sills that are in decent nick. For the later type, bolts don't grip too well in rusty lace!
For the former, one of the things your sills do is keep the back body a set distance from the front body... without decent sills, everything starts moving independently making fitting a chassis mounted pair of sliders harder.

lol....
The best way seems to be to put in a box section.
Anyone got ideas on sizes to use and a rough measurments etc?
