I posted this on JeepForums but that seem not to get a lot of traffic so I'll post it here too...
This morning I got up and figured before it got HOT outside I would go and drill all the holes for the rock sliders on my XJ.
Well I brought them up out of the basement and laid one on the jack and lifted it into place just like their instructions from their site says too. I first started on the drivers side and figured the one and only slider which had a welded "F" on one of the mount posts would mean Front...
Made sense...this SHOULD go on the drivers side because of the pinch welded mounting points are facing up...
So I was saying "sweet...nothing to it" BUT I look under and I'm going to have problems drilling the holes for the mounting the bolts...:brickwall
Passenger side front mount...
Passenger side rear mount...
Drivers side front mount...
Drivers Side rear mount...
Now I took the "supposedly" drivers side slider and moved it to the passenger side and vise versa and it didnt seem to line up to the body and frame as they did before.
Am I doing something wrong? I made sure they were centered as per the directions where it says to center them between the fender flares. Kind of lost so I'm looking for others to chime in and maybe if they have a few pics of their installs. I know there are lots with the JCR stage 2 owners here because thats one of the reasons why I went with these BUT all the pics I find dont show the mounting points.
TIA
