Thanks for the info. JMT. I have been looking at the JCR sliders for a while now. I was concerned about the small metal clips that mate the two pieces together.Are you happy with yours?

Yes, I’m happy with mine. I had the same concerns, but the clips have given me no problems. They have been in the rocks and I’ve had to touch up, but not a lot, no more than 10-15 times have I hit them.
I do, but it’s not necessary, you want the slider and the tub directly against each other so the two don’t shift relative to one another. The gasket is a minor separation and probably fine.
Yea, I bought my 2000 sport new and kinda nervous about slapping metal up against the rockers. Your information is helpful and and comforting. There is no rust at all and I don`t want to get any started.

A lot of the detailed info about sliders I learned from @mrblaine, so I’m just passing along his nuggets. on the gasket question, I also discussed it with a classic cars resto guy I know. He really wanted to put the gasket in there, but he wasn’t thinking from a off-road situation w the weight of the Jeep on the slider.
Yea kind of a catch 22. Grit is gonna get in between no matter what i would imagine. One good thing about being in Ca. is no salt on the roads to help cancer the rig.
