so i got some sliders on the XJ finally. a friend of mine has some apparent talent with a welder so here they are :D

these were from his camera, we should have got some better angles for slider pics, but oh well.

ill have to take some pictures of that tomorrow sometime. we went with 2 support legs to the frame for each slider - 4 self tappers on each of those, and then a strap along the pinch weld that bolts in through 5 points. they're very similar to the JCRoffroad xj sliders.

originally it was 5 per with rocker seam, spring box and floor tie ins so a cage could sandwich the floor for strength and the body flex could be minimised

ah, i did go to florence, did elvis, then went over to jack handle... and my CPS picked an amazing time to DIE!

we ended up getting it to start and stay running a few times for short periods of time, but ended up towing it out of there. the first half of the day i had alot of fun - took the XJ places i didnt think it would even go.

didnt quite make this...(great slider use tho - they payed for themselves by now for sure)

so ended up having to bypass it

other then that, i didnt end up having to take bypasses, and the sliders were awesome. stupid CPS ruined the possibility of the XJ getting through jackhandle, but next time for sure. getting towed out of florence by a 4 banger YJ is just another day with wildcat offroad i suppose.
