That's cool, I knew what you meant hgs_notes

As far as rocker sliders go, I agree completely. Been thinking of perhaps using 2x4 'square' tube for the main part, tied with round to plates welded on the frame. I'd also like to do something to protect those rear quarters too. It'll be tricky protecting the rock prone areas without detracting from the clean, original lines of the body though. The first small piece of armor will be the transfer case skidplate because its completely unprotected right now. That's part of the reason I climbed that last rock, to have a look at how vulnerable it was down there. I have some used skid plates from other trucks and one in particular looks like it'll be really close with a little tweaking.
