Rock Sliders
Rock Sliders
Ever heard of rocky road? What do you guys think? Ive been holding off long enough on the protection aspect of my Disco. After finally getting hit up front and in the rear and having dinged bumpers I bought new HD bumpers. I also bought some safari guard diff guards. And I have HD steering rods. So now I figure the last of my protection would be rock sliders. Then I'll get into lockers which ill probably just go True Trac front and rear later on, I dont actually absolutely need them now but sometimes its nice not having to gun it to bump over stuff ya know?

Take a good look at this picture.

Now, notice that the sliders don't wrap the sill. They bolt on to the outside face of the sill, and have 3 backing plates. This is a less desirable design than a slider that cups the sill in a l_l shape. Tree sliders have some merit, however there is also a drawback. When you come down on a rock on the outside part of the tree bar, it acts like a lever on the sill. The further the tree/nerf bar is away from the sill the greater leverage is placed on the sill. That leverage can lead to warped and bent sills.
The RTE are good.
The Tactical Rovers are REALLY nice. I saw a set in person last month and the precision with which the pieces were cut and welded is better than anything I've seen. They fit gorgeously, and a very stout. These aren't some slider slapped together in someone's garage.
