Herman,
On the topic of risk sliders,

I am now on my second set of rock sliders. The first did not go all the way under the wheel arches.
I knocked the wheel arches of my car twice now. First with the old sliders and had to refit the plastic wheel arch after that.

The second time I knocked the wheel arches, it was with the second version of the sliders. Photos below. This was at At se Gat a couple of weeks ago.
Always the left side, where one cannot see and the co-driver needs to be on the lookout for.
This resulted in a slight bend of my rock slide. Not as rock solid as I thought, but did protect the body well.

So after having them bent straight, Ben also added some further strengthening in the form of extra welded plates bolted to the chassis .
So we will see next time how well they hold. Unless my co driver actually does his job, and looks out for the left side!

See pictures below of extra plate / bars welded to keep the sliders in position.

Herm,
Did you move the antenna to the right hand side?
Mine is in the left fender.
Thx.

Been busy lately and totally forgot to place a few pic's of the completed Rocksliders.

Am very impressed with the Stofpad product, been doing more than 5k kilo's of over landing and playing on tracks with no adjustments required nor any squeaks or noises.

Thanks Uys for a great quality product QQQ

Looks great!

Can't see the stainless plate clearly - has it got a non slip surface or sand blasted?
