3 struts, 2 bolts each. I think Metric 8's, but not certain.

Assuming the 6 bolts are loaded evenly, the slider is carrying the entire weight of the vehicle, and they are grade 5 bolts, then I calculate a safety factor of 1.5. This means they are 1.5 times stronger than they need to be to carry the full weight of the vehicle on one slider. This is neglecting impact forces. Most likely, you would only be putting a little more than half the vehicle's weight ever on them, giving you closer to a SF of 3. Even a little better if they are grade 8's. Should be OK so long as they were not made in China.

Hey Eg..... Those sliders actually look very good!! It looks like the SW ones stick out maybe 1/2 to 1 inch more . I'll take some measurements from the rocker out with pics to compare.

Maybe we can compare them side by side this summer too as I'll be out that way the end of next month! All the pictures you've posted are absolutely breath taking!Nothing like that around here for sure.I have 2 more weeks of work then blowing my whole 5 weeks vacation traveling! woo hoo!

I like the look of these better than SW but the SWs stick out just a bit farther and they have an underbrace. These RRS just bolt to the side and not underneath as well with the underbrace.

Haha, yup. The mountains should all be thawed out by then, prime season to be up there. Let me know, we'll rally 'em.

IceNomad, where are to placing the tape? I ask because there seems to be a substantial difference between yours and Egstyle's of more than an inch and a quarter.

Can you take some picture showing the whole slider installed rather than just close ups?
