My sills are like golf balls

I'll get them done soon and fancy the way Robo has done his. I think he's cut the ends then folded the sides in with a big hammer, then welded back up and a girder of some sort welded on

Good job, seems to be a combo of bumper and sump guard, nicely done too.

But they froggies take their offroading very seriously.....

I want some rock/tree sliders, Going to start looking into it over the next few months.

if you do a search i found a chap who made such things for land overs and would make first set for next to nothing so he could get measure ments etc think he was london way.

Cool have you got his details, I'll give him a challenge

Could I have his details too please? I'm looking for someone to make me a tubular winch bumper, like the ones you can get for Land Rovers (but wider obviously to fit the 'trol) and with some kind of bash guard/steering guard possibly.

Do what I'm going to do & cut the hole sill out & put in 5mm box section

That way you have built in rock sliders & farm jack point

Here's Tommo's version on his Pay'n'Play tray back terrano

Look closely & you will see the sill is now box section

SWEET

I would do that by my sills were fixed properly before I bought it. Would seem such a waste to have to cut them. I think I will be adding box section below it, With some bended tube to act as a tree slider. Then welded to chassis.
