didn't have any thing better to do today so replaced the front wheel bearings,
then spent hours cleaning and polishing the jimnys never looked so clean (wont stay like it for long)
also got a lot of little annoying things done that needed doing then finished up rubbing down the axles and arms and giving them a coat of paint found the rear diff pan to be quite rusty so cleaned that right up and treated it, and good days work, in the week ill be fitting the rear locker, and mite get under with some underseal on the underbody

Cool. Welded straight to the chassis I'm guessing? Mine are with spreader plates. I have three mounting points but I don't know if it's overkill or not. If you winch your truck round something like a tree when using their width as a tree slider you might need the strength provided sideways of a third mount to prevent them bending in but I'm not sure about underneath as rocksliders.

It depends on the wall thickness of the tube I suppose too. Mine are 3mm seamed tube I think & have a slight dent from the Mrs dropping the right slider onto a rock hard but no bends.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating & I bet you'll have fun testing them eh!
