Side steps/Sliders, Homemade and I ask you for help

[Paco Garcia]

In the end I decided to make some steps in a friend's workshop that would in turn provide some protection for the bodywork. I have them almost done but when I went to plan the attachment points, a problem arose: the support points of the The ends that are in the car have through holes so you have to put screws and threads, but the central support are threaded holes and I can't know what thread and pitch it is, I have tried with metric 12 but the thread pitch is not Valid, metric 10 is small, can someone help me with this information. What type of screw is appropriate? Thank you

PS: I leave you a photo of the project

Standard M12 pitch is 1.75, these are metric fine so M12 X 1.5 pitch.

Yes, I needed the height of the footprint to be 41 cm, and at the same time for the rest of the step to reach the top, I didn't like the original ineos ones, they look very low, greetings

Hi Paco, Great minds think a like. Having a robust rock slider that also allows an ease of entry step height into the vehicle is a win win in my opinion.
Once you get these mounted and finished and the vehicle off the lift let me know the following measurements:
1) Step height from the ground to the step at both the front drivers step and passenger step.
2) Ground clearance from the ground to the bottom of your rock slider at both the front and rear.
3) Overall thickness of your rock slider at it's thickest point, (not where step is).
4) Photo of it installed and off of lift so we can see the whole side of the Greanadier with your rock slider.
Thanks in advance. DaBull

No Problems DaBull, it will take me a few weeks to finish it, I am leaving tomorrow on a trip (10 days of Skiing) and I will resume it when I return, but as soon as it is finished I will send you photos and the measurements that you ask me for here. Greetings Paco

The front 4 are threaded as well and smaller than the three in the center

In my car, the fronts are threadless through holes, like the rear ones.

That’s odd

 

[Paco Garcia]

That’s odd

It also seemed strange to me, and given your statement I have checked the front mounting plate again and we are both right, there are 8 holes, four through holes and four with welded threads above Metric 10. Thank you

Bueno amigos por fin los terminé, hacer trabajos así es un poco tedioso a veces, pero bien está lo que bien acaba, les dejo unas fotos del proceso y listo. Saludos Paco

Esta ya terminadas y fuera del elevador

Da toro, el perfil frontal mide 7 cm. Haz tus cuentas, espero tus comentarios, críticas, etc. Un abrazo. Paco

 

[Jiman01]

That looks great!! The 3cm difference from front to rear...is that because of the suspension?

 

[holdmybeer]

Work of art, man. Gorgeous job.

 

[Paco Garcia]

¡¡Eso se ve genial!! La diferencia de 3 cm de delante a atrás... ¿se debe a la suspensión?

Yes.

Hola Paco, gracias por esa Dedicación. Eres demasiado bueno. Me encanta la construcción combinada de control deslizante de roca y escalones laterales. Pasé 2 semanas en España en 2016, un país tan hermoso. Tendré que planificar otro viaje de vuelta y parar en Valencia para saludarte en persona. DaBull

Hello Paco, thank you for that Dedication. You're too good. I love the combined rock slider and side steps construction. I spent 2 weeks in Spain in 2016, such a beautiful country. I'll have to plan another trip back and stop in Valencia to greet you in person. DaBull

Hi Jiman01,
Yes, like Paco I have taken detailed measurements and found that from the front door to the rear door the Grenadier has a rake of approximately 3cm or 1.18".
I believe it is the way the suspension is set up to give the Grenadier a rake to perhaps make it look like it is going faster or to make it more streamline, LOL.
I believe Eibach or another manufacture is going to be offering different coil springs providing different lifts for the front and rear in order for the Grenadier to
set level and have no rake. I kind of like the wedge shape for now, LOL.
