I'm trying to install my sliders on 2 dr auto X. Everything seems pretty straight forward except I'm missing some parts. There's not any lock washers no biggey, and no 1/2" stick nuts (with welded tab on them) for the front.

If I don't go off roading or use them as a step do you think that if I install the lower frame bolts both ends and the 2 self taping bolts in the rear they will be ok until I can figure a way out to get the 1/2" nuts in the frame rail?

I start back to work this week and leave early and get home after dark, and I'd really like to get these things on. BTW - They look really sweet with the mid-width Shrockworks bumper I installed yesterday

(NOTE:I bought these from a 3rd party so I'm in no way blaming Shrockworks)

 

We have a similar setup. I'd say you'll be okay with just the bottom bolts, but like you said don't use it as a step. I'm including a link to my installation pictures to give you a little more to reference:

Well I got it bolted up and seems sturdy enough to be installed, just not used as a slider...yet. I'm going to just purchase some 1/2" bolts and have a heavy guage solid wire welded to them so I can feed them up through frame rail. Thanks for the pics and reply.

Initially I was a little overwhelmed by the directions and the writeup for the installation, but it actually went pretty smooth. Except for the one back hole that I'm about a 1/16th of inch off

 

Had sort of the same problem mounting my Unlimited rails where I needed a longer stick on the nut than I could locate in the kit.
Go to your company's fab shop or any machine shop and they can weld on a piece of 'TIG' weld rod and you'll be off to the races.
For the miss-drilled hole try a die grinder burr on your right angle drill to line the two holes up.

 

I work at a community college and my office is right across from the welding shop. Pretty sure I can get the welding instructor to help me out . Thanks for the tip on the die grinder.

 

We got your e-mail and will get some out to you ASAP.

We're glad you are happy with them.

Thanks,

Nick

 

try loosing up all the bolts then install the last bolt that what I did

 

I tried that, but in my frustration I may have left the lower front bolted up I'll try doing that again thx
