Fabing my new nerf bars/rock sliders

[Ekimrm]

I am building my nerf bars. Here is what I have done so far.

Looking good so far! Is that really where you want them to sit, or just the closest you could get with those hi tech "jack stands"? If you're open to suggestions, I'd run them higher and tighter.

Looks pretty sweet, Ekimm! I would also offer a tip--you should turn those around so the beveled edge goes the other way--that front in particular will catch obstacles as you go over them, and jam them in against the body. Better to have them tapered outward so the obstacles slide AWAY from the truck. Just an idea...

Wait... are you trying to say body damage is bad?

I've been doin' it wrong, I guess.

Yeah my awesome jack stands only offered so much hight. Ok like the military high and tight. I will work more on it this weekend. Right now it is pretty much just tack welded, but in one of those pics my buddy an I are standing on it with no flex or breaking apart (500 lbs on it).
