I'm designing some sliders for my ex-MOD 110. I want mine to have a notch where the NATO fuel lockers sit; you can get around this by cutting the bottom of the locker doors off but it looks like total shit.
One of the problems I have to solve is mounting. Unlike the 90s (NAS 90s?), there's no tube extending out from the frame that can be used as a mount point. Lacking any readily-available and solid mount points, I was thinking about borrowing an idea from the Dodge RAM world. I bought a set of White Knuckle Offroad sliders for my RAM 2500:
The mount is pretty interesting: it has a flat plate that butts up against the outside face of the frame rail. A separate plate is placed against the inside face and the two plates are bolted together, sandwiching the frame in between. On a RAM, this is a stout system, enough to support the weight of the truck sitting on the slider.
I looked at my 110 and there are some good spots where I could sandwich the frame but I'm not sure if it would support a clamped load like this. What do you think?
