It tapers in, I tacked the sliders together with them help in position with clamps etc to account for the taper.

Finished making the rock rails tonight.




Now i need to Grind down some welds, before i start painting!

[NT-Boy]

Painted the rock rails.





I used Black Epoxy Gloss Enamel Paint, this will help with future rust on the frame and welds, no i didnt use stainless steel welding rods next project i will.
