No damage that I can see, They tightened back up but tomorrow I'm gonna pull the tire and check things out a little closer.

When the airgun jockeys rotated my wheels last I had to use the 1/4 inch ratchet and a 4ft pole to get them to break free, I seem to have gone from one extreme to another.

Pulltab, If you want to borrow my sliders I can dig em out of the shed so you can take a look at em.

My list:
Lift+shocks, wheels, tires, CB, lights, bumper.

After that I'll get beef. Diff armor, sliders, TC skid, and maybe unibody stiffeners. Not sure about the order, though.

Airgun jockeys Gotta love it. That is why I carry a torque wrench with me, and make them use it. If they refuse, off to another tire shop.

We still doing the seat brackets??? I can take a look at your sliders then and get some pics/measurements...

ok. ill take a look at yours when you get them done, and see if its worth the money for mine...Anya'll eventually be 100% trail rig, but i gotta get a job again before that'll be possible.


EDIT: just a thought, do they work as not-so-pretty running boards?

Might enlist the aide of someone here when I eventually do get sliders/stiffeners. If you can weld (and do a decent job), I'll throw some money your way when the time comes. It'll be a while, though..

You buy the wire, and I'll teach ya how to weld.... Welding anything to the unibody requires lots of prep work and patience...

i just need the plans (which are now provided) and the metal...
of course thats easier to do with money, which comes from working a steady job..

brush guard and slider/side steps (my gf says i have to provide a step for her if want to lift it any higher)
Which i want to build myself but with other people already doing it for on the cheap... who knows...
anybody up for making a set?

Another set of drawings for sliders, these can be built to protect the lower part of the door. Dimensions would have to be adjusted for an XJ
