Talked to Brandon Via email. He responded promptly with updated pictures of their sliders. They have definitely changed the design since the original posting. It looks solid as.

Put in my order today for some kickouts with no tread plate.

Brandon is a great guy to deal with, I got my sliders about 1 1/2 years ago.

Fits with LTD's rocker panels and XREAS?

Typically you have to cut those rocker trim panels to fit sliders in. If you get ones that sit under you are affecting your ground clearance like 3 inches is what I heard. Just do it right and replace those rockers or cut them to fit. The LTD compatable sliders I've seem to have two mounts instead of the typical three. Wouldn't trust it.

Donno about XREAS enough to comment. Hit up brandon.

Avid make great products for a great price. I had their sliders on a Tacoma and a Tundra when I lived in AZ.

I drive to Phoenix every week. I was there this morning.
Ironically, there's not enough room in my 18-wheeler for them.
Well, now that I look, I could put them on the top bunk.

Picked up my sliders. They look really good. Very nice welds. Brandon was nice enough to break down the method to get the kdss side into place with minimal effort. I’m more then content with avid.

I’ll update when I get a chance to get them on.

Rusto paint+primer (Base coats)

Rusto bedliner. (Top coats)

Came out looking like powedercoat. Let them cure overnight. Prob throw them on after work.

Pressed my sliders into place by myself without jack stands. Easy peas.

All that remains is the one bolt that fishes between the two hydro lines closest to the drivers seat. Didn't want to break anything so I left it alone for now and sent brandon an email seeing if he has an easy way of getting that bish in there without creating an expensive problem. I also notice that my e brake cable is making contact with one (possible on the other side too) gussets. I'll likely file that down not sure yet. Prob bend a piece of metal signage, de burr, and tape it around the cable housing where it makes contact. At least that will get me by as long as I monitor it.

My picture is trash but they really do look good. They went on pretty easy. Price is hard to beat. They seem pretty damn strong too but I'm no engineer. They will be more then adequate for my driving.

Currently chasing some suspension problems. But, once I get through that I would be happy to.
