Default LOD sliders????
Has anyone had any problems with the bolts stripping out or coming loose from the frame since they are drilled and tapped? I am making my own sliders and was curious if drilling and tapping the mounting holes was a good way to mount them to the frame. Thanks!

I've ran them on three jks and never had an issue. I think its a solid mounting solution.

I have decided that I was going to do this the next time I install these. Drilling these holes is a bitch

How much of the mounting plate did you weld? On all sides?
