With all the choice out there, why go for sliders which require you to drill plenty holes in your panels? Doesn't make sense to me. I bought the Rockhard Patriot sliders from you guys. A much better proposition as far as I am concerned.
I love ARB products and their rock sliders look stout! As an Aviation Maintenance Technician specializing in sheet metal repairs, I have no fear of drilling into the body, and you demonstrated the proper steps to prevent corrosion from forming; taking those precautions alleviates my concerns over rust developing down the road. 😎
im gonna rock the icon or rock slide engineering sliders for my jt, but gotta wait for these dyantrac 60/80s to be delivered cause im broke now. 40s + stock 44 = ouch
Love ARB. Live in the Salt Belt - would NEVER want to drill this many holes in that location in steel body. Even if you paint and silicone your nut-zerts... 5 years down the road you'll have rust bubbles for sure. Especially from stuff getting caught between the installed panel and the body. If you wheel in mud you are going to get small bits of gravel etc stuck in there and it will wear through the paint. Sorry - love ARB but would not do this mod anywhere there is water or salt... just my $0.02. Thanks for the video!
These are ok. ARB makes cool products but try Shrockworks JT sliders and enjoy lifting both tires with a farm Jack. Mark at Shrockworks produces a strong fantastic made in USA product. I own 3 sets. TJ, JL & J T
If they are bolted to the chassis, doesn’t bolting them to the body negate any movement between the chassis and body? I’d imagine all the body anchors would eventually rip out of the sheet metal?? Appreciate your thoughts or comments Northbridge.
Hold on there, the body mounts are part of the frame, there fore, you are creating a solid connection between the body and the frame. What am I missing here.@@northridgenation
Do the ARB Rock Sliders look burly enough to go on your Jeep?
Worried about damaging the body but drill 20 holes in it instead.
Amazing to see some guys who know their craft and not afraid to give some tips and tricks to the garage weekend guys.
Looks great but body drilling, silicone gasket, and modifying the provided screws, and I haven’t looked at the price….. going to pass. Less is more.

The finished product looks nice, but ... drill into my truck only to have a big ARB logo on it? Hard pass.
They look good, hard to want to drill that many holes.
Okay, I was wondering about these.

There are definitely downsides to drilling holes in the body and road salt is one of them.
IIRC all the body panels you drill into are aluminum so rust is a non-issue.
@@skdemarsaluminum can still corrode.
Why doesn't ARB supply shorter bolts?
Why did they not go to a frame mount?
You conveniently left out the cleaning of the silicon off the body

They're bolted to the body and the body mounts, not the frame, so the rock sliders and body move together.
@@northridgenation thank you!

@@kevinhollenbeck7503 They are bolting to the body mounts, not the body mount brackets.
bad idea, you are installing this rock slider to protect the body, but you already damaged it
Can it be installed without the rocker guard?
No. It gets a lot of its support from bolting into the rocker guard.
Make Eric do more work lol.
That's a bad bad ARB product period
But… why?????
fitting one big disaster it glue at the end of the horror 👎👎👎
The silicone is to seal the top edge to the body so dirt/sand doesn't get down between and rub the paint off.
No to drilling holes in the body panels... Hell no.
That's all gonna rust out.... canada 🇨🇦 is not very forgiving
