90Beater Rock Sliders Blueprint - DIY Ford Bronco Slider Dimensions & Materials

This document is a homemade blueprint titled "90Beater Rock Sliders," showing how to fabricate a set of DIY rock sliders (side frame protection) for a truck, credited to Topher's World (www.tophersworld.com). A dimensioned diagram identifies each labeled component: the main tube (A) is cut to 67 inches with 45-degree ends ("67 inches with points"), angled gussets (B) measure 3 inches with 45-degree cuts (x8 pieces), a lower tube (C) is measured after fitting A and B, end caps (D) are welded on after assembly, mounting plates (E) are 3 x 3 inches (except the rear driver's side at 3 x 2.5 inches to clear E-brake cables/brackets), vertical legs (F and G) measured 16 inches in the rear and 16.5 inches in the front, and a cross member (H) is measured and cut after G. Two 21-inch spacing dimensions locate the gussets along the slider. The material list calls for 40 feet of 1.5-inch square .120-wall tubing, 1.5 x 8 x .25-inch flat stock (x2), 3 x 3 x .25-inch flat stock (x3), plus sixteen each of 3/8 x 1.25-inch bolts, 3/8-inch nuts, washers, and lock washers. Step notes advise marking bolt holes after all welding/grinding and clearing items from the frame before drilling.
