Weld on sliders

[tdougherty81]

Does anybody know if removing the weld on sliders will in any way void the dealership taking my trade?

Honestly, I doubt your dealership would even know.

I'm not advocating deceit, but if you do a nice job grinding off the welds and putting black paint back on the frame I don't see how they'd know or care. You haven't done anything to lessen the worth or reliability of the vehicle.

My only question is wouldn't it potentially destroy the feet so that it's harder to weld onto the new rig and potentially have less surface area to be able to weld to the frame?

I don't see it being an issue, as long as you haven't listed them as included. You should be fine taking them off.

My plan was to drill out the plug welds and grind the welds around the feet.

Thanks guys for your input. Feel better about doing it.

It's going to be a lot of work. Good luck.

Got that right. Might just say screw it and get the new style.

What's the difference?

Renting a plasma may be a good idea but be careful, don't want to blow holes through the frame.

Not as long as it's done right.

Just be prepared for them to pull the old "now your trades worth less money" routine.

Unless they are expecting sliders to come with the Jeep, I doubt they'll even notice. As stated earlier.

I wouldn't try to remove them. Getting even a small 4 inch grinder in next to all the welds is pretty much impossible. And don't even think about taking the guard off of the grinder. seriously, it's not worth the agony I think. Also the rear slider mount that is right up next to the body mount is to tight to get any sort of cutter/grinder in there cleanly. I'd say skip it and let them be with the jeep forever.
