Hey Ryan, what size is the U shaped material for the frame rail in your sliders?

Its 3"x6" square tube that I cut in half, so it made 2 (rear mounts) that are 3"x3" U shaped prices. the front are 3"x3" right angle with a 3"x2" plate steel backing plate, all 1/4" thick!

Thanks. I didn't think it was 3x3 square, since we used some of that to push into the frame rails of my friend's XJ trailer... Now that I'm feeling better with a new knee, I have a TON of fab to get moving on with...

Thanks again. That makes a lot more sense... I have about 20' of 3x3 that will be the basis for a lot of fab work this year, for the ZJ and my Ranger.

got the gears all finished up & it feels GREAT! I love how low it crawls in 4 low!!! Did some test flexing to see if more trimming was in order before she hits the trail... I think she will be just fine!

Thanks again bro! It wouldn't have come together for a while without your help! If ya ever need anything just ask...

Not to start a LA vs SA war, but a lot of people ask why I haven't gone LA yet? If a find a rock ^^^ that big I have to get over to finish a trail, that's when long arms will be next on my list! Imo people jump the gun with LAs before they are locked f/r
