nameless Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 i know them as sliders but everyone calls them something different, are there any good sliders on the market for the MJ? i have some trail gear ones on my durango, but would like a cleaner, tighter to the body look. my buddy just threw a set of these on his xj and i like them alot http://www.ajsoffroadarmor.com/product. ... 250&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 It's not hard to build your own, though MJ rails have a few challenges to them. namely the frame is sheetmetal, and many of us don't really have any pinch seam left to supplement the frame mounts (plus the pinch seam doesn't extend past the cab). I worked around both issues by drilling holes through the frame and pushing the stringer bars through and welding them to both sides. I've dropped the MJ on them. :D I tucked my in to the body as much as I could, but you could extend them out more for use as a step. oh, and if you weld, be sure to use an adapter plate so as to spread out the load on the sheetmetal.

86FUBAR Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 or you could get rid of those pesky rockers and take the plunge and install some "cut out rock sliders" , best of all is my passenger slider doubles as my air tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price is way outta my league for what they are though. i'll keep an eye on your site if i need anything down the road :cheers: i've looked into the whole 'chop' your rockers and replace with 2x4 or whatever i'd like and i'll probably end up doing that or ordering some Trail Gear sliders and fabbing them up how i have them on my durango. onto my durango aka the DD 1998 5.9L SLT Plus 155,XXX built the bumper from scratch with a buddy blah blah blah but the TG sliders another good pic of the sliders, broken on same trail but different time, first time (previous pic) i went alone :fool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
