MiNi Beast Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 http://www.jcroffroad.com/ XJ sliders won't fit on the MJ. ;) :nuts: No kidding. Just posting they're link because they do great work and have good prices and it wouldn't be hard for them to make some up. But thanks for pointing out the obviousImage Not Found
500 MJ Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I've got a plan for some removable ones that I will be fabbing up this summer. Should be a pretty simple design and easy to make. The pipe I will be running THROUGH my frame will also be in double shear because its going through. I'm making mine removable so I can clean below the rocker much better in the winter time and also get mud out easier. They also will be easy to paint and upkeep this way. - Just something to remember when you make yours.
james750 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 do you have swb or lwb jackel. tomken, motion and rocky-road's will ONLY work on swb trucks. ;)
mvusse Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Yeah, but Motion wants to make lwb ones. They just can't find a lwd Comanche to borrow. Too bad I live too far away...
89eliminator Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 after wheeling this weekend and coming REALLY close to smashing my rockers, i decided that it is time for some rock sliders. i know Motion/RRO make sliders, does anyone else? and does anyone run these^? Thanks, Rich well your lucky because i smashed both rockers before realizing i needed rock rails. i made mine, and all said and done i had $80 into them.

Thanks, Rich well your lucky because i smashed both rockers before realizing i needed rock rails. i made mine, and all said and done i had $80 into them. Not trying to bash you Wade, but this needs to be said. The main reason why many fab shops are not making them is the above stated attitude... " I can make them for this". What home fabbers forget to figure into the cost is time and materials.... yes 80 bucks might buy the steel, but it won't pay for the welding wire/rods, flap wheels or hardware. Then you forget to figure in the cost of having a shop and a buisness license. Lets not forget the fabber has a family to feed and wants to make a living.
89eliminator Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 $80 payed for the metal, paint, and hardware. i was just throwing that option out there if he had a welder and grinder he could use.
pingpong Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Wade You took what I had to say wrong. I am trying to talk the guy that is doing my cage work into building sliders and bumpers for the MJ's but he griped to me about how back yard fabbers kept telling him.. how much they could build them for :eek: So he has shown some intrest...in making them.. I have offered to let him use one of my rigs so he can do templates and build a jig. Might happen.. might not
89eliminator Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 that would be cool if fab shops had interest in making armor for our MJ's.
pingpong Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 that would be cool if fab shops had interest in making armor for our MJ's. The Fab shop doing my cage has expressed minor intrest in making up the bumper brackets for the rear bumper as well as some generic front bumper mounts. I was going to make bumpers and sliders last yr, but by the time I started to get set up to start making brackets and stuff... there just wasnt enough profit for me to turn down overtime at work to make parts, so I shelved the idea. I still have my drawings and vehicle to make templates and jigs off of, just no time or extra cash to invest in the project. When I go to pick the Turd up, I plan on bring him the drawings and brackets I have all ready made. We will just have to wait and see what happens
jackel18 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 do you have swb or lwb jackel. tomken, motion and rocky-road's will ONLY work on swb trucks. ;) SWB so i should be good 89eliminator- could you give me a list of materials? i have thought of making my own, just not sure of what to use. pingpong- unfortunatley there are no fab shops around me wwho are willing to fab somthing up for me. thakns to everyone for the info
james750 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I need to inquire with tomken about letting them use my truck to make their lwb sliders. after all, they're only a 2 hour drive away and they are close some of the best wheeling in CO
MiNi Beast Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Subscribing. Y? Don't you know XJ sliders won't work on a MJ? :rotfl2:

bryans87MJ Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I'm going to start building a set in about two weeks for my SB. I will document them and provide dimensions for those interested.
