OK, so I didn't have time to install my sliders this weekend, but did get under there and do a little "recon". I cleaned the threads for the passenger's side mount, for instance. One question, though - these sliders install with the big U-bolts that clamp the sliders to the frame. On the driver's side, you have to loosen a couple of clamps to pull the brake lines away from the frame to position the u-bolts between the lines and the frame (to not pinch the brake lines).
Anyway, one of those brackets that secures the brake lines is held on by a bolt that is right between the gas tank and the frame. I messed with it for about 10 minutes, but I think it is doubtful that I can get that bolt out (very difficult to even get a wrench on it).
My Plan B at this point is to just leave the bolt there and pry the bracket away from the frame enough to slip the u-bolt between the brake lines and frame.
Any better ideas?
