I thought I replied to your email...and pm... ooops. When I got my Plasma and Welder I told the club that I'd help out with welding things and not charge for labor. So if you wanna get together and build up something I'd be happy to weld it for you. As for engenering for the FJC it is prety cut and dry I will be building new sliders for mine soon...not sure if I'll do it befor McGrew or not, but soon. I don't like that the factory sliders don't stick out past the rocker. If I do get mine done before McGrew I'll make you a heck of a deal on my factory...slightly used
. But if you want to get together and weld up a set let me know and we can figure out some time that works for both of us. I'm going to say that if you don't want to go much thicker than factory you should be close to the 100 mark...not sure about hardware, but I'll try and price whatever the capture nuts are....
Edit:
If you have factory running boards you may want to remove them in either case...
