Although I just realized I never upladed pictures of the finished floor, I will have to do that later. For now, I have pics of the new Rock sliders me and friend installed last night....


These sliders were made just for me by Down 'N' Dirty garage in Reading PA. though I asked for this design, he liked how the came out so much he is willing to make more for anyone if you are interested, cost is $250 for the pair.

These are how they looked when I picked them up yesterday afternoon.

Primed them, and prepped them for paint before the install....

Then 5 hours to install with another member on here! Turns out the body of my Jeep was FAR more screwed up then I originally thought. It arches, flattens, curnes and is rusted everywhere. Seems I gave it a little too much abuse before the armor was installed....LOL

/\ That is a good shot of what I mean.


today, I got a fresh coat of paint on them tomatch the rest of the Jeep. And I cleaned them up. Should be ready for the trails this weekend!

I asked for them to be modeled after the JCR Stage three rock sliders for the Xj Cherokee. I think they came out pretty good, What do y'all think?

Great build Bro. How's the 33" 10.5 been doing? I really like the look it may be my next tire.

junior3382 06-13-2012 04:19 PM

they clear perfectly and these tires themselves are like a dream off-road! I would recommend them for sure. In that size however, there are only two tires to chose from, the BFG M/T Km2's, or the BFG A/T2's. Between the two, I recommend the Km2's for off-road, but they are a little weak in winter snow driving on road

It's all coming together man, great looking rig, whoever did the rock sliders did a great job

thank you. Its still a long ways from being done, at least to my satisfaction, but it is getting there. :)

If one thing is for sure a jeep is never done to the owners satisfaction. Keep on wrenching buddy

Good luck on that floor. Its sucks to replace rust. Check out my build and ask me how I know. I did go a little overboard though.

Killer build, read the whole thing, im about to go with the 33 km2's...ive got the 31 km2's now and they just arent big enough. Ill prolly try and run fenders for a month or so till I can afford the flat flares...looks sweet though!
