$300 delivered is pretty good, have you had a chance to beat on em and see how well they hold up?

Rusty's ALWAYS wants a million dollars to ship. It's ridiculous. I asked them to quote me on shipping their long arm kit and they said $140!!!! Everyone else was $70 or less. Rustys =

They saved my door the first time on the trail with them. I was crossing a man-made log bridge and slipped through the logs. One big log came up and banged on the slider, just inches from my door. WHEW!

I've also used them to jack up the jeep to put it on jack stands. Holds up well. Alot of xj owners use AJ's sliders and basically zero complaints. Good stuff!

By the way, he includes all the hardware, even the drill bit.

Get a bucket. Here's some more to drool over.













(There's plastic under the duct tape. A VERY SMART thing to do cuz who likes to scrape off duct tape that sticks to it)

Im definately going to put those on the list of options, they look tough as hell, thanks for your help on this one Muddeprived, I appreciate the input. My XJ is also my DD so although I love to go out and play, I'd like to not beat the tar out of her just yet, hence the slider question.

I assume the self tappers are what hold them to the Unibody? That was another question I had.

Yeah the self tappers go on the frame rail. The two medium sized nuts and bolts hook it onto the spring hanger. The little ones are the pinch seam bolts.

Looks like a good product, and you can't argue with the price.

And do they come finished, or do I need to plan on painting them?
