Looks great. Did you end up using the mount for the light bar, or have to go another route?

Yea, I kept the [MENTION=74569]SOcalTRAIL[/MENTION] bracket on there, but it is only secured by the two bolts connecting to the center support. It is still very solid and time will tell if it will stay solid. The problem was the 4 bolts that used to connect under the grill were lost after removing the factory bumper cover. Well worth it and I will just move the light bar to the bumper if I don't like it.
Have you posted any pics of your sliders???

Yet to take any. Should have, it has been nice out. I'll get some this week. I have a buddy coming in from MN tomorrow in the morning. After he arrives we are heading to Mt. St. Helens, then stay the night in PDX. Plan to go to Astoria then take 101 and 105 up WA to Hoh Rainforest then home. I'm sure I'll take a few pics of my 4Runner. I'll post up.
Thanks again for the install.

I wanted to buy some shrockworks stuff in late Jan Feb, but this group buy had ended. My 1st post was to setup a group buy for Feb. I would say if you want a discount, start the group buy. Just call Mark at Shrockworks and say you want a group buy, same rules as last time. And get the post started.

I'd also be interested in a gb
I called mark this morning. He said that while he really wants to do a group buy they really only want to do group buys 1-2 times a year and given that they had 2 group buys back to back, he's hesitant to do another. The next time he would want to do a group buy is in july august time frame.... it's a little late if we were to do that and then have the wait time. It would be more than half a year with the lead times....

Group buys are great, I see them as two-fold though, good for the producer when they are in a slower time of the year and a little bit of a deal for the purchaser with a long lead time. In reality you aren't really saving all that much money and you have to wait 3-4 months on top. I basically got free shipping and saved a couple bucks on my sliders. Don't get me wrong, I appreciated the discount fully!
The fact is, if you need something now/soon, just buy it

yea definitely will just order w/o group buy if that's that case... unfortunate, but it makes sense on their part. they already have too much to handle. the problem is... i think since they're also handling all the group buys... the lead time is still the same amount of time potentially 3 to 4 months even if you order now. =P

[MENTION=63082]TxBxSx[/MENTION] - Justin and team, thanks for the sliders! You guys do nice work
Nice stuff, a little KDSS hard line PITA but otherwise pretty painless.
If I could be so bold as to suggest moving the driver side rear support strut down a 1/4-1/2", there is room on the mount plate, and putting like a 8 degree pitch on the rear drvr strut to the main tube you would literally have no worries with the KDSS lines. I had to stack washers to the line brackets to bring them out, manipulate the lines (ie bend), and add a piece of high density rubber between the lines and that strut. I need to come up with a better solution, I'm not totally confident that it won't abrade through over time particularly if hard minerals get packet in there. Just a thought.
sorry to bring back a older thread, but you guys are most welcome
