Got my LOD Sliders but discovered I dont have the drill or tap required to do install.

Anyone have 7/16" X NF20 drill bit and tap.

Or could they still be installed without drilling the frame?

Hate to bother someone about helping but I cant see me getting this item just for one install.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

What ever happend to NUTS and not the weld kind or time serts

just kidding

Check these out. Can't beat the price for a one time use. Besides, once you have them you may need them again someday.

 

Toad,from what I can tell from the instructions, the frame of the Jeep.
I ll check the set out.
Thanks.

 

That's when and usually only when I buy Harbor Freight stuff -- single use.....

 

You and me both!
BUT ... I must admit, I have a HF little single cylinder air compressor for airing up. It has never failed me and for $60 with a lifetime warranty I couldn't go wrong.

 

I will when I order my Lod Slider. I did not know you had to tap a new hole. O'well I do now.

I know you can pick up the tap and the drill bit at as a package from Pep Boys. I think it cost around $8.
