THE Fj Cruiser.

[bcolman]

Now each slider is bolted to my frame with 8 bolts each, 2 on each arm, and they are grade 10.9 bolts (maybe a little overkill but oh well)

on your cruiser its better overkill than body damage, atleast if it was mine that would be what i would want

[TxCruzr]

BTW they look good, I would jack up on them to make sure that they can't deflect enough to touch the body Nothing worse that the sliders pinning your doors shut

x2
look good

On my old truck, you could jack the truck up by the sliders, but the first time I really dropped the truck on them they got up into the body pretty good. Granted this was the full weight of the truck from about 3 feet up, but the jack method may not be enough of a test.

I thought about that but it would at least give him some Idea of how stiff they are, I don't think the FJ is going to be falling 3 feet onto an obstacle though, at least I hope not

[FJAggie07]

Yeah I will be jacking them up by the sliders, but I need to get them fully bolted up first and torqued right. I will do all that after I paint them, and that may not be for two weeks. After that I will see if they need to be gusseted.

I would think that you could get away with one gusset on one side of the supports. This way you would still have access to the bolt head.

how thick is that square tube? I don't think you need any gussets with how you've built them.

Actually I dunno, It was part of a stockpile of tubing my grandfather had in his barn, but you can kind of eyeball it from this pic...

Here are the arms before I welded the sliders to them:

[FJAggie07]

Got the sliders painted and mounted just in time for K-Rocks. Here they are finished.

your rockers will thank you this weekend

[DRAGOONRANCH]

yeah cook, you were right, that was some other doosh at 47 in that black FJ.

[FJAggie07]

There was another black FJ at 47 yesterday? I couldn't make it home in time, what happened?

[JB]

yeah, he and TJ shovel guy hit some hardcore trails

[stx4wheeler]

oh **** i thought it was you to, i was wondering why/when you got mud terrains

[FJAggie07]

Wtf? When has someone CS started posing as me, I know I am cool and all but what the fawk?

Was he a real doosh trying to do more than he actually could? I know there is a salesman up at atkinson toyota who has a lift and tires and all-pro bumper, it was probably him, even though i have never seen his rig.
