I just installed some Greenlane sliders on my 5th gen. Although they're called sliders, I think of them more as "rocker guards" because of the questionable strength of aluminum vs. steel. This suits me just fine though - in my case I often encounter situations where I risk hitting the rocker panels but I'm a casual off-roader and I avoid situations where I would expect to actually slide on rocks or need to perform a recovery using the sliders. I'm on saltwater boat ramps a lot, so aluminum is pretty necessary.

The quality of the product is exceptional and they went on pretty easily, but I have a couple of complaints. First, the pre-drilled hole for one of the KDSS hangers did not line up (not even close). I could've drilled a new hole in the slider frame plate but I was almost done with the installation when I discovered it, so I just left it off. The second complaint is that the bolt for the e-brake cable (which has to be removed and installed over the slider frame plate) won't fit once the slider is installed (too short), and Greenlane does not include replacement bolts. After fiddling with it for way too long, I finally spent some time tracking down replacement bolts (M8 x 1.25, word to the wise).

Overall, it's a good product if you're in the market for aluminum sliders or rocker guards. Oh yeah, shipping was fine ... they were very well protected.

I’ve had mine on for about a month with zero complaints. I opted for a custom, 0* with top plate and kick out slider. The aluminum welds are exceptional, powder coating seems robust in the limited time I’ve had them, and installation was very easy - no instructions required. Being in the Great Lakes region, road salt and brine are used in abundance so aluminum was the better long term solution for my needs. The COVID thing slowed shipping and customs clearance by a few days, but they arrived very well packaged, free from damage. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy more gear from Greenlane. Donovan is a good guy and makes himself available to answer questions/concerns especially with a custom build request.

That looks great. I've been eyeballing these and debating the two versions, but flat with the kickout seems like the best combo.

Definitely recommend them. They aren’t listed on the site, but this configuration is actually what’s on their shop 4R, too.

They are 22 pounds each. Some shots for those interested:







You're not afraid of washing the roof of your car one day and slipping thru the area where it has no top plate? I can just hear my fibula snapping lol

Sorry, what are you looking for? I have them (+ ladder on order) and they are great - well made, no rust, lightweight. That's the beauty of aluminum - salt wont matter.

I just went through a winter here in Calgary (they use a ton of salt) and my Greenlane sliders look exactly the same as the day I put them on.

Over a year installed and no issues with my angled sliders. Have a few small rock chips in paint (painted myself with rustoleum bed liner) and so awesome to see silver and no rust. And I can take my time touching them up without any rust spreading.
