nice to see the winch mount made it on ;D..... how bad was the removal of the bumper that the dirty little bugger :P welded on... how about some more pics of the underlying structure of your rock sliders 8)

Sweet sliders. How much $?

Got a question...when u trimmed your rear quarters did u re-weld that seam? Im doing some cutting on my XJ and want to cut out about as much as u did...thinking I might need at least some tack welds.

Jonas, they ran me 350 from a guy in edmonton.  he started an offroad shop as a part time job to do specifically these kinds of things for fellow wheelers.. as for my rear, ya tackin it backtogether is a good idea. i didn't but i might for sure.

Eugene, i'll post up some more pics from underneith for sure.  and ya, the the front bumper/hitch went on with no problems.  getting that other bumper off was umm, interesting....it was literally wedged in the framerails and tack welded in place..... all i did to get it out was grind and drill the welds, and the bumper FELL out of my jeep.  one good tug would have pulled it clean out. all in all, not impresssed with the job done. however, the front hitch works really well. i love the setup

Johnny!!! Important! We didnt discuss the pinch seam screws! Although they are tacked on the pinch seam blocks, the screws still have to be put in. I dont know why i forgot, but i feel like an arse! Maybe just in so much of a rush that day, that I forgot to mention it. We can figure it out no problem. The rockers will be sturdy without, but the screws add the extra slider strength!
Sorry buddy, contact me whenever you can.
Glad you like them, and you are a great guy to deal with!
Cheers, Craig
