JCR rocksliders?

[JEEPTUBE]

Are the JCR rock sliders any good? I noticed that they are only held on with self tapping sheet screws? I would think they should be held with bolts through the uni-frame with a nother piece of metal on the other side and a nut.
But they are cheap.

[play_in_the_mud]

was thinking about them myself, and they do have a lifetime warranty. anyone have them?

[dustified1234567]

but a lifetime warranty won't give back body damage

[HeavyMetal]

i run them, and would run them again. almost all rock sliders i see are self tappers. they arent weak. and it isnt only self tappers anyway, there are like 5-6 bolts that attach to the pinch seam and are secured with a nut. ive never heard a bad word about the JCR sliders. theyre stout.

My $.02

I have them... Well half installed (one side)....I am happy with them...

Very heavy duty... Each one ships as a UPS heavy package (50+ pounds)

They do not flinch with me standing on it.... Only time will telll if they hold up to wheeling.

What I have noticed was the pinch seam holds the legs against the frame rail so if you do pull the self tappers out you have pulled the pinch seam out by over an inch.

I think that if you are pulling these off with all 13 mounting points you have serious body damage.

I to was worried about self tappers but only a few companies offer options other than self tappers and they are very pricey compared to JCR.

I've got the JCR Sliders, and thought the same thing until I went and saw them. After seeing them I bought a set of the stage 2 sliders. No problems and have no worries with the attachment. The pinch seam attach points give it the strength. I've had to touch up the paint so mine have been used/abused and no body damage. If you still have questions call them, I'm sure they will take the time to answer all your questions.

These new sliders are designed for Hardcore Offroad abuse. The main tube is made with 3"x2" boxed tubing with a 3/16" wall. Bolts to the pinch seam with 5 bolts and the main legs off the rockers mount with 8 bolts. Giving you a total of 13 bolts PER SIDE! Some Drilling required, but easily installed. These sliders are created by professional fabricators; therefore the welds, fitment, and attention to detail are second to none. We stand behind our work, we warranty all welds or any structural failure. First class service for a first class product.

Not sure where you got your info on the self tappers. Above is a direct quote from their website. I have JCR's stage 2 sliders and love them. I have repeatedly beat the crap out of them and they have held up great. I highly reccomend them. Brain and the fellas at JCR will treat you right.

I just put a set on. Overall I think they are a good product. They problem I had was one screw stripped out upon installing and I could only use three screws on each leg because of a hole in the unibody that was right where the self tapping screw is supposed to go.

I have the stage II sliders on my '99. I like to construction, and they've proven themselves to be very durable on BIG rocks.

These things are stout! Have paid for themselves MANY times and saved my doorhandles/gutters several times.

Not too fun to put on by yourself though.... Be sure to get the correct one on the correct side(s) too!

They are self threading bolts.

3/8 self threading bolts... and I sure hope they work because they are $0.70 a piece :)

No problems yet with a ton of sets out there. Give us a call if you have any questions.

I now see what the original poster was referring to. I seen "self tapers" and thought he was referring to the pinch seam mounts. My bad for not throughly reading the post. As far as the $.70 3/8 self threaders, I do believe this is the attachment method for most XJ sliders on the market. I think if they were going to fail, I would have replaced them by now.:D

[d10shun]

Uh oh, I might have to get a set. Damn, wifeys gonna be mad. It looks like stage 2 is the way to go.

Fer sure.

That extra tube has saved my door handles many many times as well. I like using them as a piviot point too. Here's a pic after a recent wheeling trip. I have a hard time keeping paint on mine.:D

Is the $195 price tag always the same for the stage 2? What did you guys pay? The website says retail $285. I would like to wait a month or two to purchace these but I want to make sure the price doesn't go up.

[jcroffroad]

The normal price on the stage 2 sliders is $225+shipping. They are $30 off until sunday. $195+shipping

[LS1Jeeper]

I put a couple tack welds on them around the plate that mounts to the frame ... they work good

[IH8RDS]

HOLY CRAP 50% done. I think I pulled a mucle in my chest!!! I need to buy a new SHARPER drill bit :bang:

JCR Offroard are good people. I would recomend them to anybody.

Looks good! Mine came in yesterday and will be painting mine this weekend. My price from EBAY was $215. Way over half of what I paid from some custom built ones for a S-10 crew cab.

[sw_mi_xj]

i ordered the stage 2 sliders for mine tuesday ,
after seeing the fit and finish of their front and rear bumpers on my xj ,
i have no doubt these will be just as heavy duty ( indestructible ) .

soon to be a rolling advertisment for jcroffroad .

( oh , and thanks again brian . you guys rock !!!! )

[cjsxj87]

would i have to fix my rocker rot to put rock sliders on?
If so how hard is it to fix rocker rot?

if anybody else wants to buy some i have some stage 1 sliders sitting in my garage. I bought them in the summer and never got a chance to put them on before going to college and i dont have my jeep up there so i never get a chance to work on it. i decided that instead of putting those on i am jsut gonna replace my rockers with something stronger than the stock ones so i still have all the clearance

[motorcityxj]

depends if the rocker rot goes all the way to the pinch seam. You need the strength of the pinch seam, and also you might as well order a patch panel THEN install the rocker guard, unless its a total beater you plan on running into the ground and could care less about rust or it spreading. If you do want to fix the rust youll just have to take the rock rail off again and put on a second time.

If you want patch panels search at http://www.shermanparts.com/

[rehab]

when you think about it, most of the support comes from the bolts on the pinch seam, NOT the unibody rail. so being held in with self tappers really isnt an issue IMO
