Opinion on Rock Slider

[Drahcir495]

I was thinking about taking the rock sliders off of my Cherokee and putting them on the Comanche and looking for opinions. The thing is they will not be long enough to go the full length of the sides. I've mocked up in green about where the rail would start and stop ->

 

This is how they look on a Cherokee ->

 

This is what got me thinking about it ->

how do yours attach?  does it match up with the MJ frame where it needs to?

That’s something I never thought of. They are mounted on the Cherokee with I believe with two feet and the pinch sleeve

everything under there is different.  probably going to need some welding to make it work, and at that point I'd probably just get some tube and make my own.

Dang and I don’t have either of them to look at. Well, I will have to go another direction then. I bought some steel to make one myself. I just need to find out if it’s still at my friends house. Thanks Pete

The mj unibody rail isn't parallel to the rockers like it is on the XJs.

 

Like Pete mentioned, absolutely could do it but the legs going to the actual unibody would have to be modified

I just went down to the shop to look at the XJ and the MJ. They are completely different, so like you said a lot of fab work to get them to work. Now to find some made specifically for the long bed truck
