RCI Bronco Rock Sliders Are Here!

[Landoom]

FedEx ruins just about everything....Never on time, throws stuff on my porch, makes no effort to hide packages and is ALWAYS later than promised. Just watch Cast Away.

Be patient....the RCI Sliders are worth the wait just like the Bronco was

I agree, FedEx never delivers when predicted. I typically add 2-3 days to their estimated delivery date. No point in ordering elsewhere, if they ship with FedEx you'll be worse off.

My sliders finally showed up. Took a tad over 8 weeks to get them. People had me worried that I was going to need either a few friends or a fancy jack to put them on with but I did them all by my onesie with just a box at the opposite end to help hold it. I had BladeRunner playing in the garage while I was installing and I was finished about the time the movie ended so not bad for time.

I'm about to start the RCI rock sliders on my 4 door tomorrow and I'm wondering if anyone has tips, a video, anything to help me make it a bit easier. Newbie at doing my own work so any help is hugely appreciated.

A way to lift and hold in place while you adjust to its final life cation, get bolts started, move wires and brake lines. You can’t just hold in place by hand.

I bought a special floor jack from Harbor Freight that I’ve used now to help lift and hold in place several heavy parts while I put bolts in

Has it taken anyone more than 9 weeks to even get a tracking number? Ordered 3/19 and still nothing. I contacted them 3 weeks ago to see what's up. Dude said he should have them shipped out within 2 weeks. Still nada.

I used two plastic car wash buckets (ones you can get on Amazon or car parts store) flipped the buckets upside down and put folded towels on the top. Then with the help of my wife rested the rock slider on top of the bucket. This was very close to the perfect height to line the slider up with the frame. I only had to lift the slider a few inches on one side and got the bolts started; then moved to the other end of the slider and added the bolts. I started at the rear of the slider and worked my way forward. My wife held the slider steady so it wouldn't slip off the bucket. This worked really well for both sides. On the passenger side I used a floor jack and a piece of plywood to support the gas tank when loosing the tank strap that holds the tank up. You only have to loosen the front strap. I have a Wildtrak so I don't have the gas tank skid. If you have a Bronco with a gas tank skid plate you will need to loosen more bolts as the tank skid needs to go on top of the slider (frame, slider then skid).

PS - Make sure your gas tank is very low on fuel (less weight to deal with).

They look great! Are these 20s or 5s?

Mine came Sunday so now fuel tank, transfer case and transmission plates can all go on! Not enough hours in the day!

What brand plates did you get ? Thanks.

Thanks. I figured that but you never know. I had checked out their website in the past.

They look good and help block rocks thrown from the tires.

Before install with just pinch seam covers.

With sliders installed.

Slight angle view.

The jury is out whether or not I put on the covers. I'm liking without.

What did everyone do when they pulled the cords/cables from the frame? I'm looking at them and unsure if I can zip tie them safely elsewhere or if there is another way to go about it? Don't want to get half-started and be stuck.
