Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

For my 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71...
Recently installed some ZR2 rock sliders and 2 OEM skids up front (ZR2 style but different lip on front plate).
With the air dam removed... this is how I wish it would have come standard from the factory. However, it only cost $320 for the used rock sliders (Like new) and $330 for the new plates after shipping and taxes. Not bad... for about 1.5hrs worth of work total.

It's Australia Day long weekend and instead of going away camping and overlanding. My rig is in pieces in the driveway as both rear wheel bearings and hubs have decided to go cactus on me. To make matters worst it's my daily driver and I'm a tradesman so I need it for work on Tuesday when I start my new job.

...OH Noooooooo ... Man that's tough ... Best of luck trying to get the rig right before Tuesday Brother!!

Thanks mate I've got another vehicle sorted for the day and my parts are getting into town Tuesday afternoon. So I think I will be having a long night of putting things back together again.

Yea it’s 1020 extruded aluminium. I would have liked to have built it with 1540 or better 2040

So the 15 series profile is based off of 1 1/2” overall dimensions? From the edge of the extrusion to the center is ¾”, and it is 1 ½” from the center to center of the t-slots. Whereas the 10 series profile is based off of 1” overall dimensions. From the edge of the extrusion to the center line is ½”, and it is 1” from the center to center of the t-slots. I'm assuming it has to do with the strength integrity and cost that swayed your decision 2040 Series being the strongest but more in cost and hardware.

Well done

Yes you are correct, cost was the major decision. And the application of it.
You have two choices metric or imperial sizing,
Metric 10 series is 10mm / 15 series = 15mm / 20 series = 20mm
All the parts are M4/M5/M6 etc series fittings,
Imperial 10 series = 1 inch / 15 series = 1.5 inch and 20 series = 2 inches
All fittings are imperial but both metric and imperial bolts are hex bolts, metric and imperial hex sizes
First number is the thickness
The second number is the width so 1040 is 1”thick x 4” wide x your desired length.

Wow! That looks really good! My neighbor is building out his Nissan Enve van right now and using the 80/20 system. Pretty cool stuff.
