here are the pics of how they mount to the body. first we used 6 bolts on each side to bolt the sliders to the pinch seem here a pic of 2 bolts bolted too it.

then we used 4 self tap in screws to hold the main beam peice to the body of my jeep we could only get a hold of 8 of the 14 we needed so when a hardware store around here gets more in ill havta put some more in but theres where it mounts up front, like i said missing some bolts so only 2 are in place as of now

and finally where we mounted them to the rear and the bolt im missing for the rear is located where it would attached to my leaf spring mount.

Hmmm not too bad I just can't justify spending over $600 on tires when you can get such good deals like that

thanks about the sliders i love them, as for the tire carrier ill be honest and tell you i have no idea i picked it up off craiglist already attached the to a stock bumper for 100, whatever it came off of though its very strong and sturdy, i think it might be off a chevy blazer or something similar but not sure.

That's pretty good lol and I took a page out of your book and went to craig's list and found myself a set of brand spankin' new BFG ATs for $450 not bad considering the cheapest I found 'em for was around $660 after shipping. Gotta love craig's list

UPdate time. i got a lund visor at the junkyard for 5 bucks!!! heck of a steal.

also pulled a set of leather seats from a 89 the seats didnt match up so we had to weld them in. heres a pic of the seats and of the welds we did. sorry for poor quality cell pics.


for the welds we also welded two more peices of metal to the right of the piece you can see and in the opposite side right across. so four all together.
