OEM rock slider mod?

[amrg]

I would like to know if anyone tried modding their OEM rock sliders to be able to have them stick out of the sides of the truck more, partly for more side protection and the other part is to be able to use them as steps. I know there are detachable steps, but Im not too fond of them. Due to my location, i only have access to OEM ones, and custom built ones would cost me way more than the OEM and require downtime on my truck.

Ive seen this mod being done on an H2 where they installed 1.5" square tubing that is 1/4" thick as spacers and thought about doing the same, but while removing the nerf bars I realized that there may not be enough room to do this.

Any input would be appreciated.

I modded my H2 rock sliders and added spacers, definitely a cheap and effective mod. Piece of cake, but I'm not sure how it would work on the H2.

Seems like you should be able to fabricate some spacers to sit between the slider and the frame. Not sure why it wouldn't work on the 3. Heck, try it with some wood pieces first to test the fitment.

I was contemplating adding another tube out as far as fenders. I was going to do this with Brodie, before he got his gig overseas. Still plan to do it. Just need the time and a fabricator.

I think another tube as far as the fenders would look great. Seen it on jeep, had supports coming from the bottom tube too. But I just thought i'd keep it simple.
