anyone running Smittybilt XRC rock sliders?
I like the way these sliders look but cant find much on how exactly they mount and to where. Also how stout they'd be. My cherokee has some dings and dents on the rockers (some are more than minor) so before i buy them and find out they wont work id love to see some pics on mounting or some info on them. Pics and any Info would be great....

I have no info on them, but I have the xrc front bumper and its top notch from tie ins to overall quality, it's taken some serious hits and been dragged and bashed into many rocks. That's why I'm curious they don't look bad an seem to be a traditional under the rocker slider and looks like they cover the rocker which is a huge plus because mine are pretty beat up...and I'd like to cover them

95% of all company's use 3/16 for sliders. My rigidco sliders have had plenty of hits and full length drags while the jeep is leaning on them the only thing wrong with them is the paint I used is scraped off where the have battled rocks. And a few small gouges they are holding up great.

Their bumper is also 3/16 and its very stout IMHO, I'm very curious in seeing how they mount i cant find ANYTHING on mounting or what others think about them, Very little in general actually.

Ill get some pics for you as soon as i wash my jeep, Its hard to see when its caked with mud, Basically on the drivers side it uses all three steering box bolts and the three factory bumper mount bolts plus one more farther back, Passenger side is the same set up 7 bolts in total that attach to the unibody.

Edit: 7 bolts on each side correct?

My JCR sliders have 8 into the unibody and then 5 across the pinch seam (each side) I cant seem to find a picture of the bottom of the XRCs either.
