Weld them or not, I wouldn't recommend cutting the slider. The "L" shape bracket that attaches to the frame gives support for virtical hits and hi-lifting.
    And yes, both use the same spot on the frame

You could use the few bolts on the white knuckle sliders that don't need holes drilled to hold them tight to the frame while welding them on.

I suggest you bolt em on and then weld them.
I love it when a plan comes together

Then duct tape for the true seal...

And some cable ties would add much needed redundancy.

Those White Knuckle sliders are awesome, I wish they were around when I got my sliders, they look BA.

Ordered the front and rear bumpers (all a little custom) and a full set of skid plates from Hefty yesterday.  Chris told me it would be about 12 weeks.  Also ordered the White Knuckle sliders.  2 weeks for those.  Anyone have any suggestions for a less expensive but reliable winch with synthetic?

I was looking at the VR10000s.  More expensive but I know Warn is an awesome product.  Any knowledge about this particular one?

Well there was a review that I used when I was researching what winch to buy:
http://www.fourwheeler.com/techarticles/129_1107_massive_multi_winch_shootout/index.html

This might be something interesting to consider, before buying.

NOTE:  Make sure you figure out who paid for the review, then you will understand the winner.

Thanks for the info Terry.  Excellent article.  I almost went with Superwinch...still thinking about it.  I do like the fact that Warn is manufactured here.
