Cherokee Trailhawk

This seems like a simple setup that could not have been designed for our Bronco Sports?

It all depends on the structure. For sliders to work they must support the weight of that side of the vehicle without damaging the unibody. To know whether the rails displayed in the video meet that requirement would require knowledge about how the unibody frame for the Jeep is constructed.

The other consideration is corrosion. Anytime you drill into the unibody you have compromised the corrosion protection system. I didn't see any consideration given to that in the video. In fact, at one point during the installation you are required to scrape away the sealant around a joint. That's simply not something I would be willing to do to my vehicle.

Just because he didnt give corrosion a thought does not mean someone else can not. And yes i noticed that too on the sealer. The Cherokee is a unibody and to that extent there has to be similarities that can be exploited. With that being said It just makes me wonder Why not, what is the issue? I also am not one to want to drill holes But...
