Still looking into welding tubes on. This was one of the things I wanted to do before adding tubes so they're stronger to help with the added leverage.
Now that I don't have to fight the rivets, it only takes ~10 minutes to take them off.

I have the edition that had sheetmetal screws & don't like that. This will be great.

Yeah I can't say I'd like sheet metal screws either! Rivnuts with some JB are the way to go. Grabs a lot more surface area and the JB adds some stiffness to the area as well.
The hardest part is making sure you don't get JB on the threads. I used plenty of antisieze just in case
Looks good Matt, and a definite improvement.
However, these are still relying on the strength of the sill and frame, which inst that strong.
This is mine after a trip earlier this year.
We are looking at using the subframes we are making to mount the long arms to to tie the sliders together under the Jeep, that way they cant get pushed up without bring the whole undercarriage with it

Yeah I remember when you posted about that. If I recall though it was a serious hit, as in the side of the jeep would have been destroyed, wasn't it? Could've sworn you made sure to point out how well they held up in light of the situation that caused the damage......
Yeah it was a decent smack, full length of the slider going up a hill.
round 2.15 onwards in this vid is where it happened
