The TJ stands for Tate Jeep Buildup

you dont have to view them... but funny none the less

Rock stomper has these (weld on shackle tabs) for $15 each... anywhere to get them cheaper?

those are cheaper but not made very well

[Shaggy]

i ordered the rockstomper ones and the tire carrier hinge

[Shaggy]

shackles and reciever I picked up yesterday for the rear bumper

[Shaggy]

a little overkill but you know me... 3/16 plate steel to build sliders and more with

[BMFScout]

I'd just buy cool **** for that since everyone and their cousin makes stuff for TJ's and build the Bronco.

[Shaggy]

i like the fabrication part of working on these things... i dont like wiring and bending brake lines and such which i have remaining on the bronco... plus building is a little cheaper and mo betta

Why not use some 3/16" angle for the sliders? You're going to have to find someone with a pretty big press brake to bend a 90 in that much sheet.

[Shaggy]

i am going to cut and weld it.... i couldn't find any angle that was big enough... it needed to go back about 8" to mount underneith

[robertf03]

3/16" is thicker than the frame

[Shaggy]

yes but it is not uncommon for people to use it on sliders... fabfours uses 3/16 so i dont think it will be too heavy

[bburris]

You only need to fasten angle through the body under the door, not many people fab a bracket to tie it to the body mount when you make them at home.

[Shaggy]

will it support a step without tieing it in to the body mount though?

[TexTJ209]

Yes. TJ floors are double wall and plenty strong.


For extra bracing, you could do like what shrockworks does, and add plate on top of the floor to distribute the load a little better.
