Not yet. I think the strength tests on the maintenance service panels is taking the most time.

Default Metal Tech Sliders Installed

Finally got around to installing these and they came out great. Ended up fabricating brackets to keep the puddle lights.

Anyone know if there are available sliders that have built in mounts for the puddle lights? Really don’t feel like fabricating something to keep them

Unfortunately haven't seen any with built in mounts for the lights. All retrofits have been custom setups by vehicle owners.

Have you thought about making more and selling?

I think you would have a market. I'd buy a set from you.

As would I. I don't plan on adding sliders just yet, but they are on my list and I'd probably do it faster if I had those mounts for the lights.

actually refabricated the existing brackets with a few tiny modifications. I’ll do a write up and look into making a few sets for some folks. Shouldn’t be too difficult

‘I looked into several sets of Prado rockers, but the shipping costs are rediculous....I took my time and used the guide from GXOR Facebook page. It’s not difficult, just takes a few hours to do everything. I’ll try and link the thread.

Looks really nice...great job with the cutting
I wish there's someone in my area installing sliders and cut up the runningboards. I need the black plastic panel on top of them. My is all scratched up.
