Front fenders and frame mounted sliders.
My front fenders were trimmed and set up for the tub mounted sliders that were on there for a long time. “Capping” the rockers and going with frame mounted sliders is going to require them getting mounted up where they will live before I can do any painting on the front fenders. The lower edge of the fenders will actually need to be lengthened to reduce the gap between them and the sliders.
I knew this was coming, and it’s going to be… I’ll just say it’s gonna be great. It’ll be great when it’s done and over.

Why the change to frame mounted? That much more stress on the body?
If you have a bender you could always do something like this. Frame mounted, removable and provide a nice place to stand on to reach the roof.

I had to dig into the Time Machine to find old photos of my
and my slider setup. It was welded to the frame and stout. Photo quality courtesy of a potato. 
I will agree they could have been a bit wider for steps though.

Thanks sir!One of my favorite rigs from back in the day
I wish I still had it. They are so nice for trips compared to a 40.
Some of those 2UZ pigs are really temping!
You are doing amazing work on your pig. Will be awesome when done. Completely jealous you did all this on $5k.
So, what would be the advantages to welding them over bolting them on the right way? Maybe weld a flange on the frame then bolt to it, four bolts each mount. That way if you decide to chrome them later on, you can.

That sounds like a great way to hybrid both approachesSo, what would be the advantages to welding them over bolting them on the right way? Maybe weld a flange on the frame then bolt to it, four bolts each mount. That way if you decide to chrome them later on, you can.
Can’t say from firsthand knowledge of the bolt-on sliders, but from pics I’ve seen, the flanges for the bolts look to be 1/4” or 3/8”?
3 mounting legs for each slider? That’s where my mind keeps going.

Sliders on my 85 4Runner are welded on. Much less complicated, cleaner, but a tad bit harder to move or remove.

I hear you. I was close until I had the seat belts refurbished.
I'll have send you guys some of my accounting pencils with the eraser on the end. 
I feel that to my core. Except i have the aftermarket ecu already. Waiting on parts. Waiting on MONEY for parts is my biggest hurdle... side note. Anyone need a kidney? Maybe some blood?
