Alright mister resourceful...... Lmao jk. The bolts Jcr is selling are self tapping bolts and aren't long enough to go all the way through the unibody rail, therfore they wouldn't work if you want to go that route on installation. Jcr's kit is also $25 after shipping..... That's a tad pricey for what it is. The sizes Jcr has SHOULD be good for the pinch seam bolts, thought. If I get my sliders installed before you do I'll post the bolt sizes and such up here for everyone.

Whether this is poor customer service (hopefully not) or simply just a miscommunication, the fact still remains that Chris sells great products with very reasonable prices. I'm an impatient person, but I would wait a year for Chris's products at these prices.

Just hang in there, Pal...... It'll be worth it in the end. =)

He changed that post...

I've not figured out what kind if hardware I'm going to use for them yet my self but I'm think on the frame, drill the frame out and make the back side bigger so you can put in a spacer in so it don't compress the frame any, we all know how the unbodys are lol

Drilling out the back side of the unibody rail larger than the front to fit a spacer won't work. Doing so would leave you with no rail material for the nut to tighten down onto.... You would just tighten down onto the spacer. The only way to do spacers would be to cut your floor open and drop the spacers down in. What might be a good idea (and what I will probably do) is to drill out the back side large enough to fit a socket, then just bolt the slider to the front side of the unibody rail with a nut on the inside of the rail held tight by your socket. This would eliminate the possibility of the rail being compressed.

On a side note, I finally got a charger for my camera so uploading pics should be a little easier and quicker now. My camera doesn't take great pictures (Not horrible... Just not magazine quality), but it's better than my Blackberry. I can take some pics of the sliders/installation process/finished product for everyone to see when I get them.
