    Are there any links, or anywhere I should be searching for information on building my own rock sliders. I have access to metal fabrication equipment.

    I ended up buying some from CBI. But there is just under 40 feet of inch and a half tubing. The plates where it mounts to the frame are approximately 40 inches long, Bent at a 90° 6 inches wide on one side 4 inches on the other.
