Title: Metal brake
Post by: 4Play on January 14, 2007, 08:00:00 PM

Wondering if anyone has access to a metal brake to bend metal thick enough for a half arse rock slider.  I pulled the original flares and step off and have the holes still there from the step.  Just need 1 bend per side.  I can cut, fit and paint them.  I will be bolting them through the  body mounts underneith.  Any help would be great.  

Thanks.

Mike

Do the stock rubicon rockers have any form of protection, or just the looks.  I wouldnt mind them if I could find cheap enough... :wink:

all depends on the gauge, i can do it. if not head down to SAIT to the Thomas Riley building and talk to the sheetmetal guys.

Thanks for the reply.  I was just thinking a thick as possable...!  Maybe 3/16???  I will consider SAIT.  Never thought of them.
