Slee Rock Sliders

[uraniumrich]

I installed Slee Rock Sliders on my Heritage Blue LC250 last week. The fit and finish of the sliders is excellent. No drilling or modification is required to mount these sliders to the LC. All of the bolts (M10 and M8) use existing weldnuts installed by Toyato on the frame except for two. The remaining two bolts use sticknuts and were very easy to use (the instructions make it quite simple to use the sticknuts!) The instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. I'm going to install the light kit, but I'm working out some details to try and use the Toyota connector that is also used to power the lights on the OEM running boards. If you're thinking about sliders and want something thats both functional and more subtle than the tubular sliders, then these are an outstanding option. Slee has great customer service (thanks Amory!) Slee is also coming out with skid plates soon. Here's some pics of the sliders...

Looks great! I think those are what I've settled on as well, so glad to hear the first-hand experience!

I'm a little curious about the rear section and how it tapers back into the body a bit...is there enough room on the step for kids that aren't always paying the closest attention when exiting the vehicle?

Also would love to hear how you end up addressing the wiring for the light.

The slider is full width where someone steps out of the LC, both front and back. I'm pretty sure the OEM running boards stick out just a little bit more, but it's not a significant difference. It may sound crazy, but I teach everyone that gets in and out of the LC how to enter and exit the vehicle. (Grab the handle inside the LC with your inside hand, step onto the rail with your outside foot, then pull up and step in to the vehicle. Reverse the process to get out. Most people want to put their heels on the step on the way out, but that's a good way to slip off the step. )

I'm hoping to have everything for the light kit figured out this week. I have the OEM connector housing, but I'm working on sourcing the pins. The OEM pins with a wire lead were really, really, obscenely expensive ($30/pin with the wire attached.) The parts guy wasn't particularly helpful. So, I'm looking for the aftermarket version of the OEM pin.
