Alright chaps, its looking like work will not be letting me back until my hand is better (new cast goes on tomorrow :'( ), if this is the case I will not be able to pay rent so I am forced to do something I have been threatening to do for ages!
And make sliders.

They will cost around £130 a pair
Able to take tons of abuse and look smart too.
If you buy these from me not only are you funding my ability to have a house but you will also be funding my ability to buy bigger and better tooling and make more products in the future
Sliders are currently available for 3 door disco, by the end of the week they will be available for 90, 110, 109 and 88"
Sliders for discos bolt to the sill using existing holes, additional out riggers are available for further bracing to the chassis and can also be used to mount roll cages and are suitable for vehicles with body lifts
Sliders have a super strong triple tube construction, are welded properly using 130 of my finest amps with Argoshield gas and are primed and sprayed.
Colours available:-
Black, white , clear coat laquer (sand blasted first, extra £15), red, green and anthracite grey
If anyone has any questions/ comments ask away, ill be on Mud-Club all day
Anyone interested in buying a set you can pm me on here (preferred) or email me at gaptoflat@yahoo.co.uk
I'm sorting out a number for people to call.
If anyone is interested in prototype testing for me contact me and leave vehicle details
Any and all comments welcome as it will help keep this thread near the top of the pile :lol:
Mods: if I am breaking any rules by posting this thread on M-C do not hesitate to remove it (although I would appreciate it if you would let me know on doing so)

Exactly what I was going to say.
-
If i can get some money together i will be after a set of these as well! They look good quality and good price as well!
-
if you had some made up you could have brought them to Land rover clearout at the weekend at Gaydon, I'm sure they would sell well there :)
-
as far as i know the sills are the same on a disco and RRC but i will double check.
the clearout is a good idea but as im only a bloke in a shed i couldnt make nearley enough in such a short time, ive got to make up prototypes for disco2, 90 series 2 and 3 88" and possibly 4 door RRC by tuesday :lol:
-
I bet you'd shift a few of these on eBay.
You could even approach other suppliers who dont do their own fabrication and see if they would sell them for you, you would lose out on revenue per unit but the quantity should make sure you still get a healthy profit.
-
ohh 109 ones sound intresting dont think i have seen anyone else doing them for a series lwb.. you have a pm ^^
-
bump for you boss :P
-
These Would sell well Gd on ebay at that price
Jay.
-
bump for you boss :P
hahahaa good man
little update, the steel will arrive tomorow. they were short on what i needed ( :shock: :roll: ) so the sliders OFF MY TRUCK will be up for grabs with the bolt on brackets
the first pare will be for 3 door disco, still havnt found out weather the sills are the same on a 5 door....anyone shed some light? hopefully will be sold by tomorow
if anyone wants some soon for defender 90,110 or series 88 or 109 let me know NOW and you can call dibs.
more things in development (but dont ask for photos)

I've actually got some on mine - or will have when I have the time to fit them (and convince the ins. co. that they're "steps" :roll:).
Best of luck with them :thumbup:
