Will do. I'm with you busted, been eye balling them since they posted them on the jcr site.

Once we get the little stuff done and get the truck off the lift I'll be posting more picks of the gear we just dropped in.

Ran into some problems during the test fit of the sliders. So we're a little behind schedule but that's ok cause I just got my hands on some OR Fab Upper Quarter Panel Armor.

Merry Christmas to me.

Following the install instructions the brackets that tie into the unibody didn't line up with pinch seam . They were off a good 1/2 inch. Called JCR and they said to install them in reverse of what the instructions say.

This is how they lined up on the first test run. Will be attempting the "reverse" install later.

Wow... Let me know if that ends up working out because that seems pretty wrong.

I'm sure they can only take so many variables into account but to not have the install clearly laid out is nonsense.

I'm going to reach out to nowhres and see if he had issues with his install.

Installing the "correct" way has led to a huge gap.







Hopefully a call to JCR Monday solves this...

Looks like they measured wrong? I don't see how flipping it with their mounting system would help but I could be very wrong lol

Spent most of the day going back and forth with JCR. Tried a couple fixes but we are pretty sure the driver side slider has some warp in it. Especially after the passenger side mocked up perfect. They've been helpful so we'll see if I can get them to send a replacement

It's a little hard to tell in the shot but this is the passenger side mock up.

No response since Monday from JCR about replacing the slider. Am I crazy to think I shouldn't have to chase them down to get an answer?

Orders are simple but fixing an order is harder, the're good guys they will take care of it most likely
