Tree sliders - recommendations?

(1/5) > >>

Disco Matt:
I'm looking at buying some tree slider sills in a couple of months time, but I'm wondering who makes the best ones for about £250? I like the look of the Rebel 4x4 ones but obviously would want to seek opinions before shelling out for a set.

Also, is it safe to use the type with tree bars to jack against? I realise there will be a risk of the hilift sliding sideways, which can be reduced by putting an old glove between the jack and the sill.

ask boss nicely great set on his  :D , i dont see the point in 250 quid things its 60 quid in metal to make them max

chassais mount ones i think are alot stronger use in mind too

jonny ramrod:

I'm going to try and modify my standard steps with some box section, see how that goes..

i used those mount for my lpg tank guards ,belly them a couple of times no bent floor yet [-o<

Disco Matt:
Problem is, I have no experience whatsoever of welding or metal fabrication and given the stresses these things will have to take I don't fancy them as a first project. Yes the metal may come to £60 but after the man-hours involved in cutting, bending, welding and finishing £250 is probably a fair price.

These people do make chassis mounted tree sliders for a few quid less, will be giving them serious consideration if they're still around in late November.
