DIY Mini-Boatside Rock Sliders

Published 2024-02-19

Here is my first attempt at making mini-boatside rock sliders. Lots of learning in this project for me. I did thoroughly enjoy it though. We'll see how they hold up on the trails in 2024! They weigh in at 45.5 lbs each.

Great job and great video! I made my own mini boat sides and it’s no small task. Even more work laying out all the holes and cutouts by hand. So many small details to get right.

Good video and h\the devil is really in the details. Nice fab work on the end caps/rub rails. I LOL'd at the "bang bang" though 😂

Wait, did you build another garage to hold all the stuff in your garage?!? It’s so clean!

Fantastic work and a great video with lots of useful detail. Very timely for me as I am looking to do something similar - really not a lot of commercial options, in the UK. I wondered, do you have any idea what the weight ended up at for those?
