Homeaid slider advice

Ok I'm not a skilled fabricator but I can weld. I want to make some rock sliders. Ideas and or plans would be great. Where are the best places for frame supports and what thickness of metal would you recommend. I was thinking about a square tube design with a step for door protection and aid getting to my roof rack. I am going to do a set on my Bro-in-laws 88 grand Wagoneer. I'm sure we can get ideas off what we make here. I just want to have a simple yet strong design that won't cave in on the first rock. Thanks

Plans and pics, click on the link. Some people use square tube, others use rectangular for steps or extra coverage.

im in the process of doing this right now. I decided to cut out my rusted rockers completely and im using 4x4 3/16's wall steel. I used the crossmember mounts as well as bolting in through the side of the framerail. For the second brace I used the spot in teh pinch seam taht already had a small cut out. (its like .5"x1")
ILl take pics when im finished. hmm a step you say that might be somthing to think about if i can find a tubing bender..

good luck

This is great guys thanks. This should give me enough ideas to start. I'm sure once I get started it will go ok. It may take me a month or so to get it all completed but I will post up some pic when I Get-R-Done.

Must not have Got-R-Done or there would be pics. Unless he has a NICE garage, fab season is way over up there!
