The 2mm rash guard would bring the part with this overlay up to more than 3/16". Area covered by only 3mm would be the same as those covered by just aluminium on Savvy and Flux's sliders.

Limited need for corner armour in the UK, based my own experience and other Jeeps I have been out with. Don't know a single person that has it.

I've now managed to find some more info on an Australian Nissan Patrol website. The conclusion seems to be aluminium is c.2/3 as durable as same thickness steel (seems property I am really looking for is durability rather than strength). Broadly that means a 1/8" steel backer will be as...

The weights per m2 I have are for metric thicknesses, but I hope they will illustate that I am not completely losing the plot. Full steel slider in 5mm steel (closest to 3/16", but actually 25/128") @ 0.44m2 = 36.7lbs Backer in 3mm steel (closest to 1/8" but actually 15/128") @ 0.44m2 =...

Thanks for the answers, but not really what I was looking for. To expand. The aluminium backer plate on Savvy and Flux rockers is 3/16” aluminium. If I use 1/8” steel will this give similar protection to 3/16” aluminium. If so the addition of a 1/16” or 1/8” rash guard would get protection in...

OK, maybe an odd question. But I am interested in understanding from the experts (and I think there are many on here) some information about the properties of aluminium versus steel. I have been following @Fluxor thread with great interest, particularly his sliders, as I have been toying with...

That all makes perfect sense. If I understand correctly steel is about 2.5 times heavier than same size aluminium, so an aluminium backer with a steel rash guard half that size in same thickness will, as you say, net an overall weight saving. As you say, the result is significantly stronger...

Trying to look for positives, at least you didn't sell the TJ a while back when you were thinking about it.

Not commented before, but you are ding some fantastic work. I wish the cost of shipping to the UK was not so prohibitive. I do have one, really basic question, about the rocker design, which I can't see covered in the thread (apologies if it is elsewhere). What is the rationale for the two...

Sorry to hear of ongoing issues, hope they are resolved soon. Is it possible something on the axle could be slightly bent or twisted and that is causing issues?

Many thanks. Avoid like the plague it would seem.

I'm possibly looking to get some parts sent to the UK, as they are not avilable over here. I have come across a company online called HQ Offroad. As the parts will be sent to a freight forwarder and then surface shipped to the UK there will be a long lead time between dispatch and me receiving...

Out off-road and have a starter motor issue. Was just starting to pull it to see if I can clean it out and have found when garage had the Jeep recently it looks like they did not replace the nut on the stud on the starter motor where the positive from the battery connects. Can anyone tell me...

Thank you, much appreciated.

Thanks for that, but I don't think the SporTrac was ever sold in the UK, so discs may be hard to come by.

My question is, what size is the whole in a brake disc for a 1/2" wheel stud. The reason for the question is I am swapping a high pinion Dana 30 into my TJ and at the same time doing a faitly common modification in the UK by using Grand Cherokee (WJ) knuckles, whih allows use of the larger WJ...

That's going to go down well around here!

Hopefully a simple question - but I have a mental block when it comes to wiring / electrical :oops: I am going to run with my spare in the back of my Jeep as I have no need for rear seats. I have therefore removed the tyre carrier and high third brake light assembly. I bought a basic LED...

Apologies, I have found a number of relevant threads, but nothing that gives exactly what I need. I need to repair / replace my clutch and I'm looking for some input on exactly what parts I need. Being in the UK I am limited in terms of suppliers as they need to ship to the UK, or for some...

Somebody I have been speaking to in the UK is looking for new springs for their TJ. They run a hardtop, but also plan to occasionally add a roof tent for camping. They are considering dual rate springs as a way to deal with the different weight scenarios, but not something I feel knowledgeable...
