There are none on the bottom which is what makes them such flaming pieces of shit.
Swapping Poison Spyder to Savvy Sliders

The jcr sliders are OK. They have a brace under the seat but not a true ww2ww. I regret drilling holes all the way through the floor to mount them and their instructions could use some tweaking IMO and use nutserts instead. It could also use a few more fasteners.I have a set of Savvy control arms in the garage and am waiting on the skid to come back in stock myself!
I won't quote you on that when they go on Facebook Marketplace..
There aren't any under the tub for the Poison Spyder sliders. But you were asking if any of the hole line up and the answer is NO. Some of them touch the edge of one or two but that is it.
I have the dreaded Metal Cloak corners and none of their holes matched my Poison Spyder corner holes.
Doesn't matter, the rabid fanbois have literally said "yeah, so what?" when I posted up this pic and asked why even bother with the body mounts, just weld that bitch to the frame.
I always said when they came back in stock I would swap them out and put my current sliders on marketplace. Mainly because I like the savvy design better and the arguably better protection. Plus no giant company logo. At least the JCR's aren't tied into the body mount like those spider ones.
The aluminum is not intended to be the sliding surface. That is the purpose of the steel skin.
Yup, I mentioned the shortcomings of the PS to a local TJ buddy with the same sliders and he says, "They're fine for what we do". He's right for the most part but he's off to Moab in April (not with you guys) so I hope he doesn't prove me (you) correct. I can see ugliness if things go sideways.
I'm sure you've noticed that I often ask questions before seeking out the obvious answer. I'm working on it..
The bumper thread suggests some would probably argue for the sake of arguing it
. I may have to put my name on that last in stock lj set.

I'll like to color match the aluminum piece and the metal slider rail just satin black. My lj is stone white so hopefully paint matching isn't too bad. @mrblaine has mentioned quite a few times on here a method he found that works the best.

Paint if you like rocks, it won't be the last time you touch things up.
I surprisingly find the step to be useful when getting in the jeep...I'm 6'2. Just installed them about 3 weeks ago.

Good install write up on these by @Irun with some install tips and slight change/update to the way the metal rail mounts.

I'm going to try to dig that up. Is welding the only acceptable option to fill those holes? Were they visible after the Savvy went on?
Yeah I would copy the savvy bolt locations on the bottom and drill some holes, use nutserts in the torque box. Seems like that should turn the PS sliders into something more decent.
