|  New Rocker Guards I got tired of the old rocker guards that hang way low, so my awsome buddy fabbed up some new ones out of some sheet steel and steel 3/16ths brakeline brazed together. He cut off the old guards right at the body level and screwed the rockers onto the old supports and also bolted it to the body. Sorry but I only have the finished pictures    They turned out very strong and can take being smashed onto rocks.  (yes, it is completly sideways. Saved me from rolling over.) |

The Brazing in incredably strong ( I can pick up the whole rig by just the bars) so the strength of the line will not be the problem. I just need to figure out how I will tie it into the body. | |

people build complete tubers out of 3/16 brake line, so it will be fine as long as you have a little bracing in there. as for tieing it into the body, make it bolt onto the sliders, and put a piece of the sheetmetal like the tube is brazed to at the front and back....that way the sliders and front/back and all be tied together, then build up from there.... | |
