This document is a hand-drawn blueprint/schematic for a rock slider (frame-mounted side step/protection bar) intended to mount to a Ford Bronco frame. The side-view sketch shows a 64-inch-long main slider assembly hanging below the dashed line labeled "Bronco Frame." Mounting is via two legs made of 1.5 x 1.5 x .188 square tube (7.8 lbs total), each topped with a 3/16-inch foot plate that sandwiches the frame and is secured with bolts. The main slider body is 1.5 x 4 x .120 material (22 lbs) with beveled ends, and an outer/lower tube of 1.5 x .120 (which also forms 3 connector pieces, 8 lbs) runs alongside it. A small side-view detail notes the assembly is 1.5 inches thick. The passenger-side front direction is indicated with an arrow, and the total weight of the assembly is calculated at 37.8 lbs. A reader can learn the material sizes, wall thicknesses, overall length, mounting method (bolt-on sandwich plates over the frame rail), and per-component plus total weights needed to fabricate this slider for a Bronco.
