zj rock sliders

[bradley]

After the fathers day run i have realized i need to start making more armor for the zj.
The question is r rock slides bolted onto the frame or r they welded.
Any advice from anyone who has built them b4 would b appreciated

thanks in advance

Uh....ZJ = no frame.

Johnny or Fraser or NUXJr can fill you in on sliders for the Sleezy Z.

Bolted or welded to the unibody, then bolts through the pinch seam below the doors. I'll grab some pics

buildin some soon buddy.

next few weeks.  i'll take step by step pics for you.

they will be welded into the frame.  we will be welding 1/8" plate into the 'frame rails' for support and bolted into the pinch seam in the rocker. 

what i'm doing to the front is gonna be sick though

i am not 100 percent sure when i will actually start building them, but i am planning a bit different of a way on building them, the bottom section underneath the doors is pretty rotted out so i wanted to cut most of that out and build the rock sliders into that section, i havent taken a really good look at it yet to c if it will  actually work but thats the plan so far

It will work but it's a major pain in the buttocks. Cutting out the rusted rocker panels and incorporating a slider is a kill two birds with one stone situation. I've helped a poor bastard do this 2 years ago and it was very time consuming . Two XJ guys I know that have done this swear they would never do it again. Totally doable though

I have done the Genright sliders to 2 of my Xj's by cutting out the rocker panel and welding the sliders up inside. It is not that big of a pain if you have done it before, my first one turned out ok and was functional but did not look great.the second was far easier and looks great. If you have the time and skill I would totally recommend doing it this way. And I will be doing this to a friends Xj When he gets around to fixing his. let me know if you want some pointers, might even have a few pics some where.
