Will you be having them rolled or bent to match the lines of a disco?

Unless you can buy the steel in bulk ill be surprised if you can make a big profit and have you even considered the postage costs for something so heavy?
 
i have. i can get all material for 150. all welding and fab will be done by me to keep cost low. i will be making the first set for my 97 disco. after that pics will be posted both off and on the truck. the main one i am looking to do is winch bumpers. kind of like the arb style. but cheaper. not a large profit but enough to help pay for the products on my truck. i have a full shop available all commercial equipment. i just dont like what companys charge. i can make the sliders for around 2-250 if i do it my self

Discovery Heavy Duty RSB Rock Tree Sliders £174.99 (Nerf Bars) Buy Direct From the Manufacturer

Like I said, without the bulk purchase it will cost too much. Not saying don't do it as I'm all for local business and keeping the £££s in the uk :)
 
crap. lol. ok so us sales only. you guys are lucky over there. those are around 500 plus us here. plus shiping. i intend to sell them around 350. well that answers the international sales question. ty
