Rock Sliders!

[Okie69]

Took the Bronco over to Bailie Bilt and ended up without rockers! Better watch out for that guy.

I’ll post some more pics once I get them painted up!

Nice, I want to see how they are mounted to the frame. So please post up some pics, raw steel is as good as painted steel for a pic of that.

Considering doing this next winter when the Bronco is back apart after wheeling season. Would definitely appreciate some progress pictures and up close mounting pics. Looking good!

Makes me happy just hearing people talking about Broncos and four wheeling in the same sentence!
Does an old heart good…

Here is my rusty rocker route. I have a walk thru with pics. And I can put my winch, high lift jack, or the boss lady helper step in the receiver part.

if he did em like mine, tube tied to frame BEEFY

They’re just welded to the body. I asked about it and he showed me that his orange one is done the same way. If it strong enough for that one it’s strong enough for me!

yes sir, good point he would know w/all his hard core wheeling

You answered already, I elaborate on the why. Mounted to the body and the supports in the body is more than sufficient, with frame tie ins and more steel you are adding more weight. The more weight is harder to drag up an obstacle, is harder on parts and requires more HP to feel as adequate as before. It’s all a slippery slope, adding necessary weight where it matters and not where it doesn’t makes a more reliable truck that performs better.

The only thing that looks questionable in that pic is the license plate location.....

How's your bronco doing at K2?

It’s exceeding my expectations for sure! I made a whole bunch of changes since OCBR so I wasn’t sure how it was gonna act.
