I have TNTs frame stiffeners on, as well as Rock Krawler's 3-link in the front. When I made these mods my JCR rock sliders did not work, so I had to take them off.
I'd still like to use the sliders. Changes that will need to occur include:
1. Moving the foward mount back so it will clear the 3-link brackets
2. moving the pinch seam mount inwards 3/16" to account for the thickness of the frame stiffeners.
Currently, the sliders are cut up, with the foward mount cut off as well as the pinch seam mount.
My question, is that I would like to basically bolt the legs back up to the frame rail to position things to get it ready for welding back together by the shop, as I can't weld.
When mounting, should I use self-tapping screws into the 3/16" stiffeners (per original JCR mounting instructions), or is 3/16" enough bite to drill and tap and use a regular bolt?
