Is anyone running Rigidco sliders on their XJ ?
I'm about to throw down some $ on sliders with in the next week and want to see how they look on everyone's rigs, Terry's site isn't the greatest

Did you get your Rigidco slider. I just ordered some and wondered how the install went and how they looked on your jeep.

I did get them around Christmas, I have pic of the sliders before and after paint in my build thread. I hope to have them mounted either Tonight or Saturday.

I tried to get them mounted up tonight but I had ran into a slight hiccup,

The front leg contacts the floor pan an will not allow the slider to tuck up with the pinch rail in the front, I had called Terry an he directed me to Email him photos since he has never heard of this problem, An I will hear back tomorrow , I'll keep ya posted !

Not actually have done this it is hard to see the problem. Looks like a pretty good paint job though.
Should have mine in about a week or two.

I got them installed today, I did have to jack up the floor pan a tad by the drain plug to get them installed but all went well after that they fit like a charm Since you have a 1999 Terry may warn out about my issue , Another XJ had that problem also an it was on a 1999 too.

Today I had installed the sliders with the help of a friend the install went well after we massaged the floor pan a tad to get the slider to fit as designed . I can already tell they stiffened up the XJ a bunch !









Follow this thread tomorrow as I intend to test them :duhrock:

Terry is supposed to have my FbW2K with Dirtbound Off road hoop ready for me to pick up On Friday or Saturday also !

I plan to have it and my winch on with in the next week or so I've been waiting a month and half for it !

I can say my sliders have saved my rockers and Doors running the waterfall on constrictor by Eagles next @ 5mile pass
