prepping for rock sliders

[Eddie Greenlee]

Nutserts went easy for me (no problems) I'll post what I used and how i used it when I get back home Sunday. And yes i trimmed the bolts from the floor .

As you know there are several vids on youtube. But this is what I used and it was simple.
1. I looked up the size nutserts that fit the bolt for my sliders. Bolt size 3/8 x 16-(thread pitch) for me I think.
2. It gave me the size hole to drill 17/32 in my case.
3. get a 3/8s bolt about 1&1/2 or 2" full thread with a star lock washer and a over size nut (As a spacer/leverage nut. Thread everything down all the way and stick in the hole in the jeep panel you just drilled.
4. Hold the spacer nut with a wrench , and tighten the bolt with the proper socket/wrench.
5. As it tightens you will feel a resistance as it is crimping.
6. There will be no doubt when it bottoms out and then I went just a touch more.
7. Then while still holding the spacer nut loosen and back out the bolt and your done.
Easy as pie.

Appreciate the step by step, thank you. I've done them in the past the same way, but it's been years ago, and nice to be reminded.

I guess the nutsert doesn't cause the slider to be spaced out from the body too much?

Not at all that I could tell.
