Will be purchasing a set of sliders for my xj in the next couple weeks. I was wanting to know what is the best quality for the best price. I like the TNT customs sliders because they mount to the pinch seam and have three mounting points to the unibody frame rails. Does anyone have these? Are they quality? Or is there anything similar out there?

Detours Slyders - stiffens the "frame" and are solid. I beat mine pretty hard, nothing but missing paint.

I actually went with a "custom" set. They're pretty much identical to off the shelf ones, 2" x 2" steel, two frame rail braces, and the pinch seam strip. Significantly cheaper than buying online, and I was able to specify dimensions, materials, etc. If you can find a fab shop or have a buddy with a welder, it's not a bad way to go.

I like detours products but I want them for the next ride and the fabrication time is too long. I already have the backbone and tailbone from detours. If I get another product from him he should sponsor me... Lol

I've got the JCR classic sliders, but then they came out with the body-mount ones which I really wish I got. The reason is you don't lose any clearance since they are mounted to your frame rail, pinch seam, and rocker panel.

I have the same one and they have held up good so far. I haven't beat on them much but seem really solid and a good price.


Here is a couple pics of mine
