I obviously got some attention with those tubed boat-slider pics.

Those were Trek sliders that I was going to buy off another member. No install pic as I shredded two of my stock tires and had to spend my "Jeep fund" on some new 35's.

At the time they were custom and one of the prototypes. I believe they are a standard option now on both the 2 and 4 door. TnT is really bad at updating their website. For example, they've been making 2-door gear since late spring.

Once my funds are bounced back up from paying for new tire/wheels/spacers/tube-fenders, sliders and skids will be high on the list.

Watched a Nissan wrap around a tree this weekend and it wasn't pretty.

No, the sliders mount to the body mount points. Very solid! There are 2 mounts on the 2-door and 3 mounts for the 4-door

In the Treks picture it shows that most of the hardware is flush so you have a completely smooth belly, but in the pictures from members this is not the case. I would assume to do the flush hardware you would need to drill and tap the holes, so is this optional and the members decided not to go this route?

the only flush hardware was the engine skid to tranny skid but that isn't the design anymore. it just looks worse because I have washers under my bolt heads and they don't in their pics.

Are the washers needed? If not, why did you put them there?
