New life for a pair of modified Rubi Sliders
One of my favorite things about owning a Jeep is the ability to recycle parts to be able to mod and make it your own. I have bought and sold parts and like other Jeep owners I am always looking for a deal or another reason to spend money!
I recently found some modified Rubi Sliders (not enhanced mopar sliders or at least I don't think they are) that I was able to give a new life to with some patience and a lot of elbow grease. In the end the finished product surpassed my expectations and I am a happy camper.
Here is the story in pics...
'The find' sitting in a Jeep yard of parts
The way they were (all surface rust)
After stripping the surface rust and some of the paint with a wire brush drill attachment (this took the longest)
continued below...

The finished product mounted on Jeep
And as fast as they got on there they will get their first test this weekend so they live to wheel another day!
Cheers
