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

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.

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

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.
