ok so im puttin on my sliders tomorrow and i noticed that my pinch seem on the passenger side is well... almost none resistant.... how vital is that for the slider to mount up to... how should i mount it up if i cant really access the pinch seem.

BlacXJeep:
I thought you were supposed to go see Nate about that?, just weld the friggen things up to the frame, they aren't going anywere. mine connects to the pinch seem once and i have hit plenty of stuff with them.

zjchef25:
yea i was supposed to but obsiously i didnt... i wonder if he will be home tomorrow i could bring them with me and i could get my shirts lol

GreenGrandV8:
to be honest i havnt put mine on yet because the pinch seems are rotted a bit. but this guy thats dating my aunt has a body shop and im bringin it down there to get repared. you could always just cut some off and weld new metal on to bolt to. but i was lookin and on ours the pinch seem area for the sliders is important, and gives more strength for the sliders and helps it from the force on  the frame and tweekin in., maybe some time when you have time if you wanna stop by and we can meet and check out eachothers jeeps let me know im usually around durin the day, just let me know. thanks

I would take the time to fix the pinch seam a little bit before installing them. I don't think it would make much difference for impacts from the bottom of the Jeep, but the pinch seam adds a lot of strength if you are going to be standing on the sliders at all.
