The new legs I'm building for mine will be very similar to this construction.

I think I might go the same route though as skulldaddy since I can see myself going long-arms down the road but yeah, when you finish re-doing yours Psycho, please post some pics up.

.....and Vick, if you have a different type of leg support that doesn't involve welding to the frame that you'd like to try, just let me know. You probably don't recall, but I was 1 of the 2 who originally volunteered to offer his rig as a test dummy on your original JKO thread. That's how excited I was when you were in the initial stages of bringing this product to the 2-door market. So I've been in your corner since Day 1....


As much as I f*cking hate that 3 hour drive to Fresno, I'll do it OR better yet, mail a few revised leg supports out. Since I'm not a pro welder, maybe I can see if one of the guys in Pacifica would be willing to weld them on....

[QUOTE="skulldaddy;4284436"]I'm in the market from some good rock sliders that will not damage my body! The frame mounts I have are not working out. PLUS I might want to go to long arms one day, so I really don't want to weld on mounts to the frame.

I'm 90% sure I'm going with PSC Rocker Knockers, body mounted. Can anyone give me some evidence that I should or not? What other sliders are out there where I can run long arms and still protect the body? TIA!

If he ran the same body-mounts on something like 35's, then I stand corrected....

I bought a set from Trail Products Inc. (TPI). They have, so far, stood up to the rigors of my wheeling. They are also American made and ship from California.
