They are not just generic tube for what that is worth.It might be overkill for the tubing but I think 3/16” or 1/4” tubing would be better since they are going to be taking all the stress when the slider hits something. Possibly with the full weight of the vehicle.
On 4wp someone asked and they were told they weighed 94lbs, I don't really want to add double that to the truck.
I am looking for something more for an oops than anything. If I get into something I wasn't expecting or if a branch flips up or something. And something I can build into a frame mounted tie-down for my camper.
