Looking at something like this to cover the holes and I can get rid of the horrible side bars as well:

don't try drilling the rivets out, they are hard steel and eat drill bits :(  Use a dremmel and the heavy duty cut off discs to grind the heads through, the rivets can then just be knocked through with a punch.

Now just got to figure out where to steal some money to pay for more jeep parts

Be aware that those sliders come up higher than the bottom of snorkels.

I've been thinking about some of those for the CJ.

I really fancy the sliders by Poison Spyder. 4WD sell them in unpainted only even though you can get them direct with powder coat. Most don't ship or are really expensive to ship, The one UK price I've had was expensive.

I could take some measurements and get some plates cut and folded but I don't think they will look anything like as good.
