I'm no craftsman when it comes to metal work, but I gotta say those HAVE to be the worst welds I've ever seen. Did they even think of grinding down/smoothing them out? Those Voyager welds look like they were done in a shop class! I guess if they are cheap enough, sign me up. But they have got to be on the other end of the spectrum from others I've seen posted.

Hey, I'm sure it's a nice looking ride and not really noticeable when on, but the close up & lighting just showed me how they look.

They look like my welds - and I'm a terrible welder

Well, likely better than my welds! I’m more of a woodworker.

Default Aluminum rock sliders

Here is our 1st set we made for a client. Making a set for our 90 next. Followed by a set for another 110 with a requested mild tree bar. Note gap at front is for the accessory mud flap. Otherwise would be flush with fender opening. All aluminum 1/4 wall construction and will be offered with UHMW slider surface bolted to the underside that can be replaced.

Wow, these look pretty cool! How much modification to fit them? Any cutting of trim, body, etc?

Also...where is that front bumper from?

They look good, but appear to be quite pricy and would need to come over from Australia. They look to be about $2100 USD converted, but who knows how much for shipping. Thoughts on these vs. the Lucky 8 sliders? Unfortunately this appears to be the only picture on their website.

This low-profile look is great! Ever find a source for something similar? Better pricing?

Love these! When will they be available for purchase? And pricing yet?

Sarek:

Well you said your rock sliders would be discreet, light, sleek, have renewable wear surfaces, allow access to the vehicle lifting points and be ready by the Spring -- and you achieved this !

Also, nice to see your aluminum bumper in black -- very interesting to see it on an unlifted Defender. I see you have the sensors in place -- nice !
