I take it the attached picture is not your truck?

There is a vendors section in the classified section. The sliders in the picture look like an Evil Twin product.

Greetings and welcome from Arizona. Aftermarket support for our Jeeps is spotty at best. BJ's has a great selection for a lot of knick knacks and some cool custom stuff too. You've already found them.

A couple of the board members have some items they make. If you look in the 'Vendors' section you'll see some of the offerings. Keep in mind that most of these folks don't do this as a primary business. A couple I have used in the order they appeared in the vendors section:

Ross
https://www.fsjnetwork.com/forum/viewto ... =34&t=6327
Makes some really cool billet Aluminum parts to help some of the plastic stuff that has broken and degraded over time and maybe even add a bit of 'bling' to the Jeep.

Men in Black
https://www.fsjnetwork.com/forum/viewto ... =34&t=1441
ABS panels for some of the various interior areas.

EvilTwin
https://www.fsjnetwork.com/forum/viewto ... =34&t=5620
A wide variety of parts from grab handles, mirror mounts, sliders and stuff. I have a lot of their stuff on my rig but I am only 100 miles away from their stop so the cost of shipping bumpers and other big parts is avoided.

Around here, there are Jeepers that do side work making custom steel stuff. Check your regional 4x4/off-road clubs and forums, or look for postings at local off-road shops. Things like roll bars, bumpers and sliders are both big and heavy, and you may be better off with a local fab guy. Not to take anything away from our distinguished members like rstep and rocklaurence... if shipping is prohibitive, a road trip could work if they are close to you.

Likely anything like this you want will be custom and built-to-order. There are not enough of these vehicles in existence to support an off-the-shelf type market you'd expect for JK Wranglers and so forth.

Sigh ... the OP has not been back since the day of his post. Troll or?
