I still had that screensaver somewhere on one of my old hard drives for a while. That was definately the best.

Jack, where did you get those frame sliders from? The only place I remember seeing them was on the Rockware site.
I was playing around in the desert behind my house last week and I had a pretty good size boulder shifting around (like a marble) under my pass. side frame. It got hung up on the rear trailing arm frame ear. Thanks
You can see in this larger version of the image RBBailey posted that the disco is actually turtled on a large boulder which has rolled on top of a little one. What are the chances you could replicate that?
JSQ said:
Oh, i see... I'll look into making some myself, they don't look too hard to make. I just hate putting more metal on my truck cause I can just see the lbs going up
That must be from the time you guys had to high lift the 90 and pull the boulders out with a tree strap. As long as the rocks stay away from my drive shaft, I don't mind the scratches!
JSQ said:
hey Jack can you post a link or something to more pics of those sliders? I want to run the Rubicon this summer, so I'm trying to plan things out way ahead of time. I might add a set of those on my build list.

Here is a good pic of the whole frame slider.
If you're utilizing the stock ears for your trailing links (as opposed to mouting heims or somesuch) then I strongly recommend some sort of protection. Your frame is boxed but it is very thing and it can get pretty well poked. That in and of itself is not disastrous but the frame ear can get really mangled to the point where you can't get the trailing link end nut off.

Matt, I have a set in my garage from Marc. I don't know who built them but they look exactly like the ones Jack has.
I can take some pics or get dimentions for you this week if you'd like.

Now I'm completely lost. There were some nice pics of an XD, I posted a pic of the CT110, someone else posted the guy with the helmet, JSQ said it was "all lame". I'm not sure why, so I check out his profile, and there is a picture of his sweet truck balancing on a boulder with one wheel in the air -- I think, that's a pretty good metaphorical image of what it might mean to be lame. Funny. So I post it. It's just the way my mind jumps from CT photos, to trying to figure out what JSQ meant, to figurative interpretation of an image while the word lame was floating in my head.
Do you know what JSQ meant? 'Cause I don't. I guess he doesn't like pictures of yellow vehicles, or maybe just my pictures. He didn't say the guy with the helmet was lame, he said all of this thread was lame. But obviously I missed something that was soooo obvious that I am now to be studied and analyzed for being utterly clueless.

Those look like KVT's stainless frame sliders...
The Rock Ware frame sliders are also nice.
WillTN said:
KVT never actually made frame sliders.
He just took someone else's and sold them without paying the guy who actually did the work.
Didn't know that. He had them on his site and claimed they were his product as far as I remember.
That does sound like him though.:smilelol:
Who actually made the frame sliders he sold?

Jack and Ben, the sliders only attatch with the t-case mount bolt right behind the radius arms? You think that one bolt is enough? I was thinking about drilling another hole and putting a bolt somewhere towards the back.

I checked out the rockware site and it say that they install with one bolt that's already there. From what I can see it has to be the bottom bolt on the t-case mount.
thanks Ben
