Hey All:

Just picked this one up and have a question on the sliders. Currently has the stock diamond plate drilled through the tub. On our previous TJ (now on a permanent vacation in Mexico unfortunately) we installed Poison Spyder rockers which also required drilling through the tub. My question is, are there useful sliders made that use the same holes as the diamond plate? Or if not, and we have to drill new ones, what did you do to seal the old holes? These will be used for protection, not cosmetic.

Thanks!

No.

Tape, RTV or whatever works.

Don't use sliders that utilize the body mounts (like Poison Spyder) or the frame as an attachment point. Use tub mounted sliders only.

Appreciate the help. We are looking forward to building this the right way and it’s mostly a blank canvas right now.
