as the "starter" of this thread i'd just like to thank ray, neil AND DG for all the info and help...

i have managed to ascertain the following,

1. rock sliders protect against rocks to the underneath of the sill

2. tree sliders protect against tree damage to the "side" of the sill

3. the "CAN" look identical

4. the possibly cost very diferent amounts of £££

5. i doubt i will ever need either so i dont REALLY give a monkeys...

6. DG knows EVERYTHING..... Wink

thanks again to ray and neil Thumbs Up

Neil, I'd call that second pic a tree slider. I know the manufacturers don't, but they are american, aren't they?

Why you need rock sliders



Why you need tree sliders



(I thought this was a tame and sensible discussion by recent standards Thumbs Up )

Slimer,

Thanks: So in theory, the word 'Tree' describes multiple actions 'as in sliding into a rut and hitting a tree, rock or bank' - the bar protects the lower doors from impact?

Which is why I want them (edit: tree sliders) on the roof, too - to protect the upper door / body. I could just get a full roll cage, but they is dang ugly! Laughing

RPG,

Re clip 2 - put your bloody arm in!!!!!.

BUT therefore the 'bar' on the rock slider could be a 'tree' slider?

So rock sliders are tree sliders. The only different one is a sill protectors, which also protects from grounding.... Shocked Rolling with laughter

Nah. Rock sliders are Sill Protectors. Tree sliders are rock sliders / sill protectors with a bar...so rock sliders with a bar are tree sliders and sill protectors with a bar are tree sliders and that's not me in the wrangler. I have better taste Thumbs Up
