They are indeed on their way - and the very first preproduction set is on a courier truck headed in my direction as we speak!
I won a free set of sliders as a door prize at a local 4x4 shop a couple months back - even though All-Pro doesn't make a set of sliders for a 5th gen, they built a set just for me and thanked me for lighting a fire under their ass on producing 5th gen parts.
Once they arrive and I install them (hopefully sometime this week,) I promised Sarah at All-Pro I'd snap some pics so they can post them on their website and officially put them on sale. And of course, all my pals at T4R.org will be the first to see pics and read a review!

here they are. and they state:
"Unfortunately we can not find anyone local to let us mount them on! but here is what they look like!"
"They are going to run $499 but for the month of August because they are new they will be 10% off."
"Yes, they will fit the limited and the sr5!"

Hmmmm. Cant find anybody local? Theyre only about an hr drive from me. Might need to hit them up. Wonder if they'd be willing to add some mesh/dimple die.

Not sure about that statement.
The bolt on arm would smash the XREAS line on the Limited unless the lines are removed or relocated some how.

Hmm, those look very familiar.
That was my first thought as well. Seemed to have copied the entire plate mounting design. From a cursory glance, the mounting positions for bolts look very similar, if not identical.

The bolt holes would have to be identical to line up with the threaded holes on the frame. The rest of the sliders are pretty much identical, though I'm guessing Bud's are stronger and better made based on what I've seen with All Pro's Tacoma armour. Now I know why the All Pro guy was crawling around under my truck when he was up here a couple months ago.

Oh right.. duh on me.
Did he have a spy cam and a measuring tape? Espionage...

Update: I FINALLY received these today! Some of you may remember that I won a set of sliders at The Gear Shop, and All-Pro delivered on their promise of developing a set just for my wagon. I had my shop kid at work give me a hand installing these just a couple hours ago. I will post pics tomorrow, but I thought I'd share first impressions for now:
1: They look great and the fit & finish is really nice. Impeccable welds.
2: They bolt on to existing frame holes using 5/16" NF bolts - seems weak to me, so I'm going to weld them on this weekend.
3: The drivers rear door rubs VERY slightly ( taking 1/16 off with the grinder fixed it)- I'm going to loosen the bolts and wiggle them down before I weld, so this is a non-issue.
4: They don't play nice with the KDSS lines on the frame in one spot - I had to cut off a gusset in order to clear the lines, and re-weld a gusset in a different spot. I will be notifying Sarah and Jon at All-Pro so they can address this.
5: They hold the weight of the truck without flexing - I jacked up the truck on the sliders and jumped up and down. No deflection at all.
All in all, they're a good option for anyone looking at sliders. They're a blatant copy of BudBuilt's, so I suppose it all just comes down to pricing and delivery times.

Possibly, except I won these. 100% free of charge.
