My friend asked me to make a set of sliders for his XJ. I have't made them for an XJ before. From what I can tell from pics is that they are just a peice of angle iron bolted to the body. Am I correct - is there any other mounting points. What's your view on the best sliders for an XJ?
On an XJ you need to attach the sliders to the pinch seam and the frame rails. Also, I hear you can make them so that they also stiffen the unibody... but I've never bothered looking into it since I'm rather happy with the rails I have.
I would also be interested in finding some plans for rock rails. There was some really nice plans useing 2"x2"inch x 3/16"inch-wall box tube submitted here at the forum sometime ago(..maybe six or seven months..? ), and now that I have aqquired some rudimentary fabrication and MIG welding skills, I really regret not takeing a more keener approach to makeing some-

He makes them mainly for Toyota based stuff. I doubt he has and XJ in front of him ripped apart.
madxj.com has some good articles to get info from. Basicly the top part of the rocker is connected to the door sill usually by welding and the bottom part is welded to the pinch seam. Box is the most commonly used material.
I'm going to try to have 1/8 or 3/16 sheet bent to follow the contors of the stock rocker and replace with the new bent steel.
