That is exactly what we did...directly under the pinch weld. We didn't cut out the pinch weld as the instructions suggested. If you have the time and tools I suggest welding the sliders to a 1/4" plate and then attaching the plate to the frame with u bolts. Slee does his sliders that way on the...

I welded those same sliders on for a guy named Steve yesterday. I agree you they do a good job of putting them together. We did gusset them with triangle pieces. They seemed a little short...what do you think? Looks good. Abuse...I mean enjoy them.

He's over at http://www.ih8mud.com too...There is a good movie of him going over an obstacle a jeep can't follow him over. I saw a buggy in Moab last year with the same setup. Cool idea but I don't know how practical it is.

I just discovered the sportsman...Popular was my REI replacement...glad the sportsman is there to fill the void.

Sorry I am getting to this so late... expeditionswest- wrote Looks great Brittan! What is the measurement from the back of the drawer to the bed? A great place for a water tank IMO... -Thanks Scott. Its about 8.5" from the back of the boxes to the front of the bed. Putting a water tank there is...

Thanks BMAN...do you ever show up to the Copper State Sonic meetings? I just got the 80 so I have only been to one. Great group of guys.

Thanks... African Outback

I picked these up today and wanted to share. My plan is to put a box in front of the drawers housing a compressor and aux bat. The sides are either going to be covered or left open for gas cans. I plan on covering the boxes with aluminum flat stock or diamond plate(hard on the knees). The plan...

I will plan on attending...

Great reads...thanks for sharing...This is a trip I hope to make soon. Desertdude...let me know if you need help bending up a new piece for the taco...I have a bender and you are local.

Chirs...just shared your pics with Darcy...her comment "Do you feel left out?" My response "Duh!" I didn't have time to join any 05 trips. Looked like a lot of fun though. Maybe next year. Thanks for sharing.

I have a set off my 97 LC if you want them. I just put on an OME medium setup. I like it and will move to the J's when it becomes mine to wheel with. I never took the LC out with the stock springs so I can't tell you how they did offroad. I can tell you the OME's are stiffer, but still flexy. I...

Any idea on what one will run($$$)? If I have to ask...its too much... I like the front...better than their old design.

This is/was my solution... http://www.fuelsafe.com/offroad.htm They have a cell that is 34"LX17.5"WX9.5"H. That just fits where my spare is. The plan is to put the spare on top of the rack. They have cool pumps that are the size of your thumb that don't pump that fast but save on space and...

Nice work...

Sorry to have missed this. Looks like fun was had by all. Good pic Chris. Thanks for sharing. Hope to make it next year.

Thanks guys...tires were today...OME springs and birf rebuild will be here next week. I hope to stop for a while after those two projects. However I will need to see how the new OME set up does off road. MMMM

Resolution... She is in my car hole (that's a Simpsons reference) The insurance adjuster came back with a low offer. The dealer gave up a little and I drove off with it. In the end I got it for $16K and change. I have an estimate to do the body work for less than $1000. I am happy with the...

Slee has a good "what to look for" doc here: http://www.sleeoffroad.com/newbie/newbie100.htm Hope it helps. I am in the process of picking one up. I just kept my eye on craig's list and the autotrader online. There are a lot of early 90's rigs out there for cheap. I went with the 97. Good luck.

Darcy burns through a tank every two weeks. Porter doesn't need to be run anywhere so I think it would be a great solution for her. To boot there is that much more metal around her if she wants to tangle with another car. I won't be able to keep my hands off it though and at some point Darcy...
