The smoke marks on the door panel plastic are high class, I dig it!

Maybe, what are you asking for them & Can you bring them to GSW and install them on my WJ?Originally Posted by JohnBoulderCO
Inspired by AgitatedPancake (Greg) and fluxcap (Tyler), the rockers are coming out next weekend and new sliders welded in.
Anyone need some slightly used WJ sliders?

Use a laser to mark where to cut your rockers. A laser makes them straight and horizontal.

Cut with the grinder!

Test fit to make sure everything looks good

A B and C pillars need 1/8 inch plates to close them up. Ground smooth before welding the slider to them.

New slider welded to the A B and C pillar plates and along the pinch seams.

Need to cap the ends of the slider and add a few internal support "struts" to finish this side off. It was a long day of welding and grinding. Thanks Tyler!

Lessons learned. Using a laser ensures your cuts from front to back are straight and horizontal. Take the doors off, gives you lots of room to cut, grind and weld. Next up: lots of cross bracing the sliders to the just above Clayton's "frame" stiffeners. Then add a cross member to make every thing stout and "triangulate" the rear Lower Control Arms.

Great ideas especially the laser level! Love it!

New rockers turned out bad ass! Your mini jack stands are....um....cute.
05-29-2014, 11:11 PM
Cladding installed.
05-29-2014, 11:14 PM
Cross member for lower control arms.

Axle side of new LCA, lots of ground clearance.
05-29-2014, 11:23 PM
I had the exhaust tucked up tight and routed out the back with a low profile CAT, visible in the pics.
Next up a belly skid and I'm ready for GSW!

Do you feel the increased anti squat is worth the increased ground clearance?
