Pete M Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 neither. the MJ has a longer wheelbase and no pinch seam under the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COFFMAN Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I will load pics of the mounts on this and the rear bumper and post em later. Nice lines on the bumpers buffalob, the seam that is not full welded looks a bit unfinished to me Diggin the wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvin Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The sliders look nice but you want to stitch weld to sheet metal instead of full perimeter weld. Rosette and stitch welding is the strongest (and safest) way to connect thick metal to our sheet metal frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalob Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The sliders are bolt on. It cost a bit more to have them made that way but I did not want to do the bodywork with them on, and wanted to have them on to get the lines right. I will post pics of the underside so you can see the assembly. The "guts" of the sliders are 2.0" X 3.0" rectangular tube X 3/16 wall (layed flat) with the ends mitered and capped. Jarod (Fessler...aka Fessybuilt) suggessted 2.0 square tube, but I wanted them to stick out a bit more as I knew I wanted to run the bushwacker flat top flares... the completed package just looked better to my eye that way. the bent round tubes are also good, ( my wife is 5' 1" and can't get into the truck without them...or a step stool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
