[QUOTE="KarlVP, post: 1052159, member: 16136"] Many of the Xj folks mount them using self tapping bolts. IE: you drill a small hole, and then let the bolt/screw do the rest of the work for you. I know a big seller, AJ of AJ's offroad sells his that way. FiFo and I put a pair of AJ's sliders on his rig and I wasn't a big fan of the installation process. They just seemed weak. But the did hold up to a year worth of FiFo's abuse. In the long run, I would bolt them to the unibody frame rails, and then weld them. When you are making the mounts to the "frame" rails, make them look similar to a chevy "bow tie" so when you weld to the unibody, you aren't weakening it. Or you can go hardcore, and check out FiFo's short Bus build thread here. [url]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9969[/url] [/QUOTE]
