I want to install super skink sliders on my KJ, but the previous owners damaged area under the rear passenger door.

Do you think this damage will effect installing sliders?

Thanks
Igg

You will be fine installing them and they definitely would of helped whenever that happened.

will work fine, bedline the rocker and you wont even notice that. they might scrape on speed bumps with that low rider though

thanks all, Im def going to get some sliders and skid plates before a lift... don't want this to happen again.

And I have no clue how it happened... It was like this when my family bought it. the fender flares are damaged slightly too (gouged about 1/4" in some spots), but i want to put bed-liner on the plastics to cover it up :)

I like that last Idea it's what I'm doing to mine, It will give you more strength in your uni-body if you tie it in as well as letting you keep that little bit of extra clearance you loose with bolt on sliders.
