DIY Tube Rock Sliders On The Jeep
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- In the last video we recapped the box rocker install I welded into the Jeep XJ back in 2018. In this video I add on some 3mm wall 40mm diameter mild steel tubing onto it. This will function as an additional slider but also provide a step so that the roof top tent can be operated without constantly opening the doors.
I did this on a budget using mild steel tubing with pre bought bends that I could weld on. Sadly my friend hasn't got a tube bender that can bend anything more than 30mm diameter this was a little too big.
Hopefully they will be strong enough for what I do and help protect my doors from any more dents.
In the next episode we will prime and raptor line them.

Forgot the link for the table. 👍
I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Yahir Theo Instablaster =)
@Briar Coleman Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Briar Coleman It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
I have to say it's really nice seeing someone work on their vehicle without a nice garage full of tools. It's cool to see you make what you have work and gives hope to all the people on a budget that watch these. Great video as always!
Yeah I know what you mean. I watch a lot if channels and deam of such setups. For me its basic home tools aside from borrow a welder! Thanks for watching!
Haha I love the 80’s welding montage bit
Great job
Always look forward to seeing one of your build videos. I complain about having a 20 foot workbench and not being able to set a can of soda on it. You've built yours in a garage with a gravel floor and no heat! AMD have done a super job.
One of the best , if not the best re- worked xj on the internet... People are cutting themselves short by not checking out your videos , great content and that's xj has turned out exactly the way an xj should turn out, wanting to continue my xj build a solid as that one, I have a 98 5 speed sport ,still a 4.0 in it and I want to keep the 4.0 jus my desire .but your Diesel xj has an awesome set up and amazing build , and the fact you actually use it only makes your progress show it's true colors , again awesome xj .👍👍👍
Thank you! Appreciate the comment and for watching. I have some new episodes coming up in the build series very soon.
Its always a lot of satisfaction when you can make it yourself, especially when it turns out so good looking.
Thanks for watching. It turned out better than I thought. Looking forward to raptor lining it.
the sliders look great! ...and the montage with slow-mo set to music was epic:)
Nicely done!
Great job! When the 80s montage kicked in I did wonder if there was going to be a shot of you using duck tape then all of a sudden your jeep is a makeshift tank - I love it when a plan comes together.
Love the zip tie on the grinder lol 👌
Fantastic! Loving the work are putting into the jeep and the fun you are having with it
Good Job Mike....looks great!
Cracking video. Always followed you. Sad when you left the uk. But it's made some brilliant videos. Well done mike 👍
Thanks Kris, appreciate you watching!
Fun to watch, thanks Mike!
Nice work!
Looks bad ass, and definitely functional, awesome xj , I'm wanting to do a full inside job like u did, and the sliders as well , great addition for these jeeps.👍
Thanks! It turned out better than I thought. Should be a good upgrade for the future. Seems to make a big difference with the rocker replacement. My doors use to pop open and never close when I was flexed out.
Nice idea. No excuses. I have a question, why you don’t used a 45 degrees elbow? Would has been easier? Regards 👊😎
I started out with a 45 degree elbow but liked the 60 degree look more. Would have been way easier to just use the 45s.. I probably should have just bought complete bends though I would use what I had already bought. There still going strong thankfully 💪 thanks for watching
You are killing me with that great sounding Diesel engine! Can't seem to find on for my XJ in the US. Would give my eye teeth to get one, my I6 gets 15 mpg at best.
Awesome video Mike! They look great! Cant wait till I get one of those precision workbenches ;P Great stuff. Keep it up!
Haha thanks for watching!
@@WorkshoptoWilderness The pleasure is all mine! Great content!! Thanks for posting!
Nice Pajero! 6:31
Looks nice very nice welding to wish I could weld that good I still have a long way to go to learn how to weld
I'm not the best welder but thick metal on thick metal is very forgiving. It's the thin stuff I struggle with. Thanks for watching
Amigo pone subtitulado porfa !! Saludos desde argentina
Do u have a video where u install your hood vents? I can’t seem to find it. Thank you. By the way big fan!
Heya, stumbled upon your channel last september. Now looking to DIY roofrack for an XJ. Do you have any vids on this, can't seem to find anything?
Good work, jeep looks great. Couldn’t find the link though.
Thanks for watching. Ah it was my dry British humour, my work bench is an old but of wood strapped to the wall 😉
Oh don’t worry I picked up on the humour, i just had to comment on it. Too good a deal to pass😂
@@gilbycoyote Ah! Its certainly too good to pass! Haha thanks for watching
I have found i new love in my life... Jeep cherokee... Now im looking for a good project car her in sweden... I like your jeep cherokee
hi sir, how much diameter in inch for pipe ? 2inch and have or 2 inch ? and what the paint code for body colour ? look nice
How much? I need that! 💪
Are you based in Sweden? You can get them pretty cheap
What diameter tube did you use and what did you use for the rocker a 2x6 inch?
I used a 40mm diameter tube as it was only available in metric here. The box section is a length of 2"x2" welded to a length of 2"x4" to make up 2x6.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness awsome but what was the wall thickness i was wondering if I should get 1/8 or 3/16ths since measurements here are imperial
So I went with 1/8ths to keep the weight down as I used two lengths of box welded together. I couldn't get 2x6 in the UK sadly. The inner wall on the welded box section adds a lot of strength from twisting but it also adds weight. I've impacted several large rocks when crawling River crossings and it does dent the tube slightly but nothing I really care about.
@@WorkshoptoWilderness yea I think I'll do 1/8 as well not sure what that is in metric but 40mm is 1 1/2 so does your tube hold your weight good when you stand on them? I weigh 260 pounds so I may have to go a little bigger than 40 mm
Holds the weight perfectly. Me and the wife can jump around on them all day. I've lifted the jeep with the highlift with them. I guess they are welder onto the box in four places so they should be fairly tough.
