    I'd just go with tube sliders that don't kick up at an angle

    talk to @Mobtown Offroad - I had my sliders built with zero angle and I recall them talking to someone about this some time ago. Great, solid product. Easily carries my full weight plus.

    We can easily point them down to be used more as a step over a slider. You name the distance you want from the bottom of the door to the top of the slider and that's what we will make.

    We just had this confusing conversation in another thread.
    It's 1.75" .120 wall DOM, not solid stock.

    To his defense, bending 1.75" solid stock would require a tank...or superman.

    I hate the smell of all forms of grinding. Probably because I despise grinding

    You might end up sheering that center section. I replaced one for a customer last month that completely tore off. This one should hold up fine now lol

    I see what your sayin, I think when I put my secondary hoops in I'll run another crossover and tie the two together, I just want to keep it easy enough to remove when I got to change an engine

    if you replace your current connection with one of theses, you can keep what you have, and not have to worry about shearing bolts

    Do you think single brace design with bushings on either end is generally sufficient, assuming moderate non-jumping, non-2' whoops at 70 activity?
