Those look pretty good sean. you guys welding them on? Not much room for bolts o_O

I would weld em.. My last set of silders had four bolts per mounting flange. And it felt, semi strong when you "rested" the jeep on them.
I Would like some round tube sliders for the MJ buddy. And maybe that bumper we spoke about.

Mine have 4 bolts per flange plus an extra 5 or 6 along the pinch seam. So a total of 14 bolts per slider

Damn. Yeah I had two supports per slider. None at the pinch seam. Four bolts each flange. And the flange was about 3"x5"

Yours flex at all when you use em? mine felt "springy" like it was cushioning fairly well.

You can get a good one for around there. Originally I had a '93 with 220k (ran great) for $1700. Don't forget about the little costs as well...mostly DMV costs and smog.

Do you need a car right now? If you saved another $1k you could step into something a little newer with less miles. I got my '99 for $3600

I would go with a Cherokee not Grand. Just personal preference though.

I'm guessing you want 4x4?

Good deal on 2wd

This is a great deal too! 4wd as well (not listed, but you can see the TC shifter)

I'm assuming they will flex but I really haven't "sat" on them yet. 6.5" LA kit keeps me well above most rocks and such.

But I haven't been in a crazy rocky area yet either... Soon... lol

Mine is my DD and trail rig...Never taken it off though. lol.

Don't forget to look at other areas as well. St. George, Laughlin, Prescott, and inland cities of California.
