Rock slider removable kickups

Ive been juggling the idea of making rock sliders with removable bolt on kick ups and maybe kickout i would like kick ups on trails but not when driving hate the way they look was wondering if anybody has done this

 

I think it's safe to say no I wouldn't trust them personally just bolted on.

 

The only thing i come across is that they may be wobbly but if i could bolt them on from two sides i think they would be pretty sturdy

 

To make them strong you would have to have some funky built sliders so they bolted on property. Using standard 1.75" round would be tough to do.

 

Ya i no thats what im trying to think of a way i can brace and support it properly without it bendind the bolts or tearing the tubing with the weight of the truck on it

 

Seems like if it were possible, you'd need to use tube clamps... But on a hard impact you'd always be running the risk of the connection point twisting into the sheet metal.

Maybe an in-line tube clamp, w/ hole drilled into the slider, then welded in... This would resist twisting, but the integrity of the attachment point could be questionable. http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/TC-FLT175.html

 

Ya seems like an idea im not a person that jus peddle to the metal i like to crawl and go through obstacles slowly so i should have any jard impacts jus gradual so if i do make these and i get in a pinch and see that its gunna hit the cab i wont go through it

 

Sliding off a rock and landing on the slider is a hard impact.

 

But what if I go slow bro.

 

Oh, in that case, gravity slows proportionally to the rate at which you make forward progression.

 

First correct post in this thread so far.

 

Ya the slider itself will be rock solid but u wont be coming down on a rock with the kickup in most cases i dnt have many rocks around here in western wa just stumps trees and mud so for the kickups the only thing they would be used for is leaning into a tree i agree with the siders themselves need to be solid in which they will be

 

You got some solid replies to your question, but you still doubt the answers. Why ask in the first place?
