or sometimes there a company on ebay based in kidderminster who does them for 150 ish
what are u sills like matt ? maybe the box section on to them would solve 2 problems with one hit :)
Disco_Stu:
Thats what I'll be doing soon. My sills have seen better days and some box section will be welded in place to replace them, tree sliders will be welded onto the box section and I'll be well happy.
A couple of lads in my club have already done this and it works a treat.
Disco matt, for the price of a reasonable welder and some steel, you can teach yorself to weld and then make your sliders for the same £250 - if not less. If you plan on keeping the car and takinjg it off road a lot, the welder will pay for itself in the long run and give you the skills and equipment to continue to improve and repair your truck.
Have a look at this site: http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/

I do like the Guardian stuff. Its well made and Spence is on here somewhere as well!
sMUDge:
They certainly look the part :D I've got the Guardian Light Bar & am chuffed with it :)
I am considering the "Buy-A-Welder" option too :-k :D
Disco Matt:
I think my sills are ok at the moment - there was a smallish hole in the underside of one of them. Obviously I have yet to remove the plastic which may hide all manner of nastiness, but it did pass the MOT with no comments.
I have a cheap arc welder (bought before I realised that what I actually needed was a MIG) and need to learn how to use it at some point. I may still go for the Guardian ones for simplicity's sake as they're £50 cheaper than Rebel 4x4 and include jacking points. I'll take the plastic bits off and see what horrors lurk beneath closer to the time.
