Default Welding day

Well for a while (about two years now) I have been wanting sliders and I finally came across someone (rguignard) who was willing to help ... or actuallly Do the fab work for me for free just bring a case of beverage and we were fabbing away. Anyhow this isn't really a writeup cause every jeep is slightly different as far as dimensions and this is a "custom" set of sliders to the specs I wanted.

Also Rene wanted to get his winch installed too so I took some pics of that process as well.... here are a handfull of pics

First off ... can anyone see my sliders in this pic?



There they are!!


making the front angle and filling the gap




Install part 1


ADHD kicking in here .... Look at the pretty shiny transfer case


Other side install


Final pic


here is the winch install now

Rene already spent some time this week to design and cut the plate these pics are just the installation





all bolted up



installing the roller fairlead and puttin the hook back on


installed

though we didnt like the little kink that it was puttin on the line on the roller so we moved the hook.

ALWAYS REMEMBER unwind your winch and rewind it under tension these things are just rolled by hand at the factory... this will help in not kinking your damaging your cable.


We also had a few extra minutes to toss in a t-case skid for mine really fast.
research and development and install time total about 20 minutes lol




also cut a notch for the drain plug


Installation




Done!!!

I really wanna thank Rene for taking his time with me and doing these installs for me. I really OWE you one man!!!

love the fab work but you might wanna never stand that close to your winch cable when there is weight on it it can be pretty bad if it snaps
