Default Frame Sliders "How To"

So I didnt see any thread with a "how-to" on frame sliders. So here goes with all the pics i took...

So first you will need the get some frame sliders. The ones i purchased were from Uncaged and arrived in a few days. They come with longer bolts, the mounting hardware and the tips which is the part that comes in contact (hopefully not) with the ground.



First you will need the correct Allen wrench size. I do not know the exact size of the allen due to the tool being old and without writing on it. I just dug through the drawers in my fathers chest til i found a fitting on. If you need, take the bolt in the kit to a local autoparts store. Most stores will let you borrow tools for a little while. the bolt was slightly tighter than hand tight, but not too tight.



take the new bolt and use the washer off of the old bolt for extra support.



insert into slider hardware and thread in by hand until flush, then tighten up to manufacturers specs.



With the uncaged sliders, you just have to thread in the slider ends and you are done with that side. repeat for the other side and you are done!!!



it took me a total of 10 minutes including finding tools, talking on phone, taking pictures and setting up lighting for pictures. if i was just doing the install itself, it would be a total of 2 minutes easy. DONT FORGET to do just one side at a time. if you remove both bolts at the same time, your engine might sag and make it hard to replace the bolts.
