Followed by super glue!

Op is this a serious question? How else to do think you might mount sliders? Spit on the frame and hope they stick?

Get then welded on or find some large self tappers

Wow you guys are a bunch of assmonkeys.

No crap he has to weld or bolt it on. I'm pretty sure he wants to know the best way to go about doing either of those things..Pros and cons of each.

well he should have been more specific in his question. and instead of saying what you think he meant, why not just answer the question the way you see fit.

Did you sit on a stick today on accident??
Damn man don't jump on everyone's *** for joking around. Did you explain the pros and cons of both? Hmmm...

Welded - stronger

Bolt in - still strong but not as much so. And you can take em off if you ever decide to sell your XJ

best way? welded to frame stiffeners then bolted to the pinch seam. the more mounting points the better. the more bars connecting the frame to the slider the better they will hold up.
