Slider mounting.

So I've been building my own rock sliders for my cj7 and I've ran into a bump on the road and I'm not sure how I should address it. The jeep has a box frame and with my mounting brackets I'm not sure if I should weld them on. Bolt them all the way through both sides. Or try to tap the frame to run bolts through just the one side. Any help here with some install advice would be greatly appreciated. I've also been taking lots of pictures and plan to post my build once I'm finished.

Weld them to the frame.

If you really want them on there, then weld em. They'll be nice and strong.

I'd just weld them on. If you decide to bolt them all the way through make sure you weld crush sleeves into the frame.

I've heard about crush sleeves and was considering that. It's a lot of work for things to be removable though. I'm definitely leaning towards welding at this point
