Basicly im thinking of welding some box section to some angle then bolting straight through it all, through the origional sill. (the bolt holes in the slider will also have tube welded in to double up as jacking points.

Thoughts?

Undecided. I may stick some tubes on but that would mean installling a few captive nuts and bolting through the sill from the inside. Not sure how goot a captive nut would be been bashed about

would weld tubes into sill as well to stop it crushing when you bolt it up.

I'd weld it. Make the rockslider part of the bodyshell rather than just a bolt-on.

Bloody rot
