Syncro front rock sliders.
In production now.
Similar to those bought in Germany etc, bolts to front bash plate (bash plate has to be drilled)
£155 plus VAT.
At the machine shop now, should be a couple of weeks.
Similar design to what Dai and Stan have, but tweaked to make it better at it's job and easier to fit.

Good stuff. Thick alloy then ? Pointless laser-cut logo omitted to reduce price ?

Syncro script not present.
Holes for spot/fog lamps added.
Holes to allow access to bash plate front mounts to line up properly.
More clearance around the recovery point.
90° angles from back edge removed, no need for them to be like that.
Mounting holes in a better position.
Shape different to allow a more intuiative mounting positions (meaning |can sell without instructions)
No holes in the front face, just plain.

It's stuff you want.
It's priced better than buying abroad.
It help manufacturing in our economy, not someone elses.
It makes me money, which is the important bit.
The money I earn is ploughed back in to develope other parts, which you need.
Keeps your truck rollin'
Hopefully it's decent quality, had a couple of bushes back under warranty, they have been swapped no quibble.
I bother to stock the syncro stuff, which most don't..

Re: Syncro front rock sliders.
I'd be interested in something more beefy around the gearbox/engine too.

Bored of scratting around trying to find good second hand, I've had these made, bit thicker than VW, and a bit cheaper too, only one left at VW so dunno if they are about to go obsolete, doesn't matter if they do now, got a shelf full!
