Hanna slider install?

[jditom]

Just got them and they look great.
Driver side looks easy 3 U clamps.
Pasenger side ?, 2 U clamps but how does it attach to the cats?

Hanna web site says to use cat skid plate.

Also where do you all get that tape that is rough on one side to apply to the sliders so you can stand on them without slipping?

Cheers

The tape is available at Lowe's and Home Depot.

IIRC... Passenger side is easier than the driver side. It bridges over the cats to the crossmember where it bolts in using existing hardware. A jack stand and someone to balance the end you're working on is handy. Don't tighten anything until you have all the nuts on.

IIRC... you're supposed to remove the cat heat shield. I didn't, it squaked, so I tweaked it a bit and its happy now.

Marine supply if you want to be fancy. Skate board shop sells grip tape if you want to be different. I didn't put any traction enhancers on mine and I don't think it needs it. YMMV.

My wife took the neon green logos off the sliders using a handheld steamer. She thought the color clashed.

Good luck.

My grip tape came in a 25' roll from the local uber hardware store, it was near the painting tape and duct tape. About $6 IIRC.

I watched Ken install mine. DS you need to tweak out the brake like for the rearmost U clamp.

For the PS, as stated cut the cat protector. He also used a jack stand to hold up the T-case assembly doing the PS install. You reuse those bolt holes.

I'm sure you probably have them on by now but here a couple more tid-bits: I had to grind a little off one of the factory washers at the cat mount for fear it would cross thread and after doing the D.S., I put a little padding between the u-bolt and brake lines to prevent rubbing. Then I tied the brake lines to the u-bolts in an "X" pattern to duplicate the factory clamps that get dis-lodged. I got mine on in a little under an hour last week.

I know this is being Capt. Obvious but don't clamp your brake lines! Gently bend them out of the way.
