Rock Slider Poll

Cosmetically only; which would you choose? Each holds the weight of the vehicle. Each weights around 70lbs. (per side) can be used as a step to access your roof. They are by far stronger than anything else your going to buy currently. I'm only going to make 1 for the T so I would like to know what you T owners think. No I don't have any pics of them mounted on the T sorry. I'm set on the materials and construction finally and I know what design I like but we all have different taste. I need honest opinions, it cost a lot of money to develop them and will cost even more to get them at a production level. Many have shown great interest in the American market but so far this year America is around 60% of our sales and the rest of the world is the other 40% so I would like to know what you guys think.

None of them fit my truck :'(





At some point I plan to get a set, but I will need something with an integrated step because my wife hates trying to get in whenever I take the side steps off the truck <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />





#3 looks pretty bad ass though

Not to be a dink, but the weld on that last picture looks worse than bubblegum. If that is the quality of the weld, I'd have a hard time trusting it, or their other welds.

I like #3 the most for it's more subtle appearance, but #1 in a close second as it's pretty wild looking.. #1 is not something that personally I'd buy but for the right person they're pretty sweet!



Nothing wrong with #2 just doesn't pop to me like the other two.

As you can see in the first picture, my welds are just fine. That's a little less than 3/4" thick of metal at that point. Don't worry about my welds dink. BTW thats a poor spray paint job. Here it is before it's painted.

And here's my other work if your concerned

#1 and #2 fit your T, they are 94" long. We have plans for the bolt on steps but I have not had time to build them.

I think that I would be looking for an extended runner for a step, I have been bolting and unbolting my current side steps which has been a bit of a pain.

Dude chill out. If i were putting on sliders, they'd be for function over looks, and with exposed junky looking welds like those (junky as in you'd never see anything purchased from most reputable manufaturers coming with welds like that) I certainly would be skeptical of it all. Im not the only one who saw it that way (I have messages from other users who agreed with me), and it could use some cleaning up, especially if being thought of as a concept/potential product that you'll be selling. I support you in expanding the FUNCTIONAL Hummer aftermarket, as too often its shiny-bits, but Im just speaking my mind and not calling you a hack welder, just thought they could be improved/cleaned up.



Take it as you will.
