Mike, I've been having the same thought as you (same fit location as in the link, but more traditional mounting method. I was also thinking of having more venting (possibly along the long axis of the jeep) for dirt/water to drain. I like the way most vendors attach to the uniframe and the pinch weld, just not how they fit with the trim of the KJ and would rather see something more TJ/JK/Defender-style that tucks in nicely with the body panels.

Cheers on the effort and would love to see your mock-ups, even if they're paper.

Dan

Sounds good Dan. I haven't been able to do any work on them since Sunday and all I was able to do then was mock up the ends of the rails with the paper. I am going to have to have access holes in the bottom skid of the rails in order for me to use the 6 factory mounting locations on each side. So they will allow water and debris to escape as well. Work in progress, but I'll get pics of the mock up when its done and then pics of the whole process, start to finish.
