Default How do Rubi sliders attach!

Can some one get me a pic on how their Rubi sliders attach to their JK? Do they attach through the holes in the pinch seam as the side steps do?

I don't have a picture but there are four holes on each side that the sliders go through the pinch seam. There are also two bolts on each side that go into nuts in the lower body. The four bolts are on either side of the brackets for the body. So it'd go pinch seam bolt, bracket, pinch seam bolt. I took off my Rubicon sliders and didn't take detailed pictures.

Thanks all! I destroyed my steps on a jamboree a few weeks ago and ripped out the rear bracket fom my pinch seam. Looks like I need sliders that attach to the frame!

I did the exact same thing with my sidesteps. A lot of the guys on the run I was at had ace sliders. They mount to the body mounts and are incredibly solid. I've never seen one dented only scraped. Those will be my next purchase

Since I am on a budget with my winch bumper being built, I too am going with the ace sliders. With the price of some used Rubi sliders I can pretty much afford the ACE.
