I don't know if i like them or not.. but im sure they'll grow on me. Surprising how strong they are compared to what they look like. I wouldn't use them for rockcrawling , but for the wildland brush here in the Outback (yeah right) they're perfect.

I've seen those on a bunch of Aussie rigs. Do they bolt onto your sliders or are they welded?

Yet another nice touch. :beer:

Yeah, that's why i snatched them up. Kind of a hard piece to find in the USA. Especially since ARB doesnt make them anymore.

They bolt into the frame under the body. However, the passenger side is going to be welded to the underside of the slider because the exhaust is in the way. Normally they bolt to steps from ARB. These are a modified version that another member on Mud modified. They're actually stronger than i invisioned. They seem like .120 wall tubing and i can push on them very hard and they dont budge. I by no means would ever use them as a exo-skeleten but for expedition/overland trips they're perfect for a little added protection.
