Rock Rails - Door Protection - H1
Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2015 11:21 pm
The latest part I have been building for the truck is some side protection that will bolt onto the side of the aluminum under body skid plates. The doors actually stick out about an inch and a half past the side of the aluminum plate the wraps up the side of the truck. So if you slide into something sideways, not that it would ever happen you dent your door. After too many hours for any sane person to keep track of spent pulling out one such door dent I decided I needed some more protection for the new paint job.
They are not done yet but they were again designed in 3D cad. I had a local metal shop bend up 8 foot lengths of plate to the profile I had designed. From there I am cutting them to length and fitting them to the skid plates or belly pans, whichever you prefer to call them.
Hope to have them done this coming weekend, and if my other projects are any indication of that it means they will be done sometime this coming spring.
