Title: Anyone fitted Mill Services rock sliders?
Post by: fram on April 30, 2006, 21:40:17

As it says above, have printed off the fitting sheet from their website but if anyone has any first hand knowledge and can offer any pointers, ie, do you fix the brackets to the sliders before offering them up?
Any help or advice much appreciated.

I have these ones which I think are mill services ones.

I found that 1 hole in the outrigger lined up perfectly from where the girly side steps were but the driver side didnt line up!

It is easier to offer the whole lot up then mark a whole for the out rigger piece then temporarily bolt in in and put a trolley jck under other end to measure up all the other holes. I had no instructions. also I would recomend making some 2 inch square spacers to put on the nut side of the cill to spread the load a bit.

photo is too big so i will put it in my photos area.

Cheers for that.

We've got the ones without the tree sliders, but they look basically the same. Ours haven't actually got any holes pre-drilled in them, I think the reason being is, as we all know, no two land rovers are the same, so you're better off drilling you own holes!

Have yours got the bit on that is bolted or riveted to the sill? Our idea was to fix this bit first to support it while fitting the rest.

Mine is bolted to the sill at both ends and then 3 bolts that go through the sill horizontaly and the re-inforcing arm that goes to the out rigger is bolted with 2 bolts to the rock slider. All the bolts are 17mm if I remember rightly.

Umm, errr, Cheers jonboy, that is actually us, different user name :oops:
Nothing like asking for advice :roll:

Muddyjames, we are going to rivet ours to the sills with the biggest rivets we could find, says bolt or rivet on the instructions. We've got all the bolts for the outriggers supplied with the sliders, not sure what size they are, but plenty big enough.
