Well for a while (about two years now) I have been wanting sliders and I finally came across someone (rguignard) who was willing to help ... or actuallly Do the fab work for me for free just bring a case of beverage and we were fabbing away. Anyhow this isn't really a writeup cause every jeep is slightly different as far as dimensions and this is a "custom" set of sliders to the specs I wanted.
Also Rene wanted to get his winch installed too so I took some pics of that process as well.... here are a handfull of pics
First off ... can anyone see my sliders in this pic?

though we didnt like the little kink that it was puttin on the line on the roller so we moved the hook.
ALWAYS REMEMBER unwind your winch and rewind it under tension these things are just rolled by hand at the factory... this will help in not kinking your damaging your cable.

We also had a few extra minutes to toss in a t-case skid for mine really fast.
research and development and install time total about 20 minutes lol
