Well one of the use cases for sliders is also a jacking point. I use my hi lift relatively frequently to self recover. Lift the truck up, fill in holes with Maxtrax or rocks and drive out. Greenlane explicitly says that their sliders cant do this so that is a dis qualifier for me

Same. They were off the list immediately, though I would have liked to save some weight.

Sure says alot on how structurally weak they must be to not even handle a jackpoint off them.

"Sliders"

Hmmm. Didn’t really know any of that. I can say I’ve used my floor jack on either side, off the gusset of these things when swapping to change snow tires for clearance issues in the garage. I certainly didn’t hear any creaking or otherwise off the frame plates or from the bolts LoL. But maybe depends on where you are grabbing off these I don’t know… maybe I’ll stop doing that now then!

Are yours flat or angled? Do you have any other pictures? Trying to determine which ones I want to get

Yes they are angled up. I thought that is the better option both in terms of look and intended function. I’ve certainly had to drive out of a Starbucks drive through due to impatience so ground clearance is important while curb hopping

Anyway, they work just as well for me as far as a step surface goes but of course they are slightly higher than the OEM plastic so there’s that consideration I guess.

Is anyone able to measure how wide these are at the front a rear door with pics? I want to see how usable they are as a step.

I’ve found as much under my size 12 shoes getting in as the plastic OEMs had, plus the coating is anti slip. More at rear of course. Maybe don’t look at the angled option then I suppose if they are flat out there’s a tad more for surface area? Email them I’m sure you’ll get the specifics

Anyone make contact with the sliders off road or in parking lot? Did they bend or dent?

When shopping for sliders I spoke with someone who had them on his truck which we wheels very hard. He said while it’s not “recommended” he regularly used a hi-lift and they have bent or lost shape. His main con was that just like skids, aluminum gouges and sticks to rocks more so than steel, but that’s a trade off I’m ok with for all of the weight savings.

Do you have kdss? Have you had any issues with the sliders in relation to kdss? Any worry with the sliders pulling on the lines if they get hit?

Yes the vehicle has KDSS. When you order them you specify that so these are custom for specifics related to same. Likely the lines and actuator location or whatever it’s called on the drivers side. We had no issues mounting everything lined up as it should perfectly. No bending / relocation of anything was required.

As I mentioned before these were bought to replace the OEM plastic flexible steps. I chose the 12 deg angled ones because I like the side profile look. I don’t miss the slippery old steps the powder coating on these have an anti slip aspect to them. The side tubing is quite wide, does the job for me. Aluminum spec on these are quite strong but this vehicle only drives over potholes and curbs.

And I need aluminum up here in Toronto. Salting on our roads through winter is intense.

Thanks for the info and pictures. That helps a lot! Lots of salt here too. Trying to find a happy medium.
