different mounts with a drop bracket?

are the rock slider mounts that different on the vehicles that are going to be using the drop brackets?

 

[jtwopark]

also can these sliders be made to accept the ARB side rails? Any info on exactly how much less for the under armor and sliders without powder coat?

Here's a bad update, I was at Chris shop going over the prices and things. There was a misunderstanding regarding the skid plate, he's claiming that $250 is the price for raw skid plates no powder coating, I insisted that when we discussed the skid plate pricing it included powder coating. After a few minutes of talking, I refused to accept $250 for raw skid plates as I already told everyone it will be powder coated. After talking for awhile, he offered to sand blast and paint the skid plates with automotive paint.
- Is everyone ok with this automotive paint? My plan was to get them raw and do the finish myself anyways, it's fine with me. The upside to using paint is when it gets scratched up, you can smooth it out and repaint over it. With powder coating, you will have to get the whole thing powder coated again and that will cost more money than paint. If you feel that it's not worth it and want out, please state your intentions clearly.

- Sliders are still $425 powder coated, $375 raw.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

John,
I believe that the drop brackets will conflict with the stock mounting layout. Oversteerdawg have drop brackets on his 96, he was spoke with Chris regarding this issue, they were supposed to meet up for measurements.
If you want to integrate ARB side rails onto the sliders, you will need to contact Chris and discuss that with him, perhaps shorten the round tubes towards the front leaving room to weld the ARB side rails onto the square tubing or right onto the round tubes will work but slightly more work to cut round tubes to fit.

I'm good with the skid plate paint plan.

 

[jtwopark]

under skid pad

everything is cleared up.....so no powder coat just painted for the belly armor is $250 and $425 for the sliders powder coated! GOT IT!

like the slider in this picture?

 

[socallove]

let's see what we can do.

 

[oversteerdawg]

I'm also curious if he'd add a kickout at the rear...I don't mind paying a few bucks extra.

Tom, have you gone see Chris for the drop brackets issue?
