Those look great! I love my lod rear tire carrier. The more I see the JL, the more I see one in my future. It's cool to see all the aftermarket stuff coming out for it.

Resistance if futile, you will get a JL :D

Can you offer any advice as to how to make that drilling easier? It sounds easy enough. What's the catch?
Click to expand...

The problem is that the hole is kind of high up on the frame rail and most drills are pretty big. Getting the hole on the outside is easy enough but if you want to drill straight through, the body of the drill makes contact with the pinch seam and that'll cause you to drill upward. If you want the hole on the inside of the frame rail to be level, you'll need to use a drill with a smaller profile or located and drill from the other side. I have a small right angle drill and was able to make it work for the most part but still ended up finishing up the hole from the other side. Cutting oil is a big help too.

Damn, those sliders look good and beefy! Jet Li is looking so effing good...

When installing mine one of the frame hole nuts separated from the frame (drivers side) and I had to cut the bolt and leave it empty.
Hope the strength will still be there. Didn’t use the optional bolts as I didn’t wanna drill either.

Really? Which nut if you don't mind me asking?

scoobycarolanNC said:
H9ey Eddie, why’d you do one optional bolt but not the other?
Click to expand...

There are actually a total of 3 optional bolts you can install. On each rock slider, there the rear most bracket has 2 mount holes, one that has an existing hole to install a bolt on the driver side and one that uses the gas tank skid plate bolt. The second hole allows you to install a secondary bolt but again, you already have one bolt securing the bracket to the bottom of the frame. The 3rd bolt is up front on the passenger side frame rail. There's an existing hole on the driver side but not one on the passenger side. To me, without this extra bolt, there may not be enough support. I'll show all this in the video.

Those do look great. Will probably be the next addition to my JL.

They take a while to get but in my opinion, well worth the wait. :yup:

doubletapdaddy said:
I had to drill the frame on my JK a few times. I must concur... quality drill bits, cutting oil and patience.
Click to expand...

Yes, cutting oil and if you only need to go through one side, a unibit helps a lot :yup:

HA, hard rock mining them out of the box!! I have LoD bumpers and sliders on the JK, unpacking their stuff is definitely a chore in itself. I will be putting LoDs stuff on the new JL when I get one.

I hate to say it but they're almost too sharp as in, a part of me doesn't want to scratch them up :crazyeyes: :D

Sliders look great. Being LoD, I know they are well made. I am waiting to see their destroyer series too.

Any concerns with those bolts on the bottom of the frame rail?

No more so than the bolts on the bottom of our JK which we've been beating up for over 11 years now. :crazyeyes:

Saw you comment on wayalife and filing the edge makes sense. Also dig the RH bolt head deals.

Read a little further on that thread and you'll see that a file might be the only thing you really need.:yup:
