Metaltech sliders-1, Hyundai Sonata-0

[nb rob]

Someone just made a left turn into the rear of my 2015 TEP, and my sliders not only protected my rear door, but totally annihilated their car. I cannot believe how
Much these sliders protected the side of my 4Runner!!

If you're on the fence about sliders, just do it.
These monsters just saved me a ton of damage.

There was plastic everywhere, I was shocked at how little damage there was to the body panels.

Also my dashcam just paid for itself

What a great accessory.

Some one mind 'splaining how he got a flat tire from it?

Did something on the car puncture the tire, or hit the tire so hard it pushed the tire away from the rim?

(Always called them rims, not wheels, where I grew up).

I thank you for posting, but I don't know if my wife would.

Where are the pictures of the Sonata?

See that stuff under the tires? /s

There was a large piece of plastic from his front bumper that penetrated the tire and flattened it.
There was plastic and fluid everywhere. I assumed it was from me-- nope. The slider bump out has some scratches, and some minor fender and door work.

Hopefully the axle/drivetrain wasn't tweaked. We shall see

16,800 km. Bummer. But holy sh** this thing is built like a tank. I loved it
Before, but now I'm totally impressed.
Eff yeah metaltech!!!

Depending on how hard she hit your frame rail is probably bowed. Glad everyone is OK.

Depending on how hard she hit your frame....

She? Why would you assume it was a she?

Sorry. I read "see" in one of the comments above and thought it was "she." My bad. I apologize to all women drivers everywhere.

How much you paid for those sliders?

Buck says your frame is bent

 

[nb rob]

Worst case; I trade this in for a '16 pro and start posting new threads about wheel spacers

I have a similar arrangement: Shrockworks sliders and dashcam.
Glad to see how many purposes the sliders can serve. :thumb3:.

Sliders definitely add side impact protection....But who cares we want to see that chicks Sonata! :boxer:

I had that one too. I had problems with it and had to send it back. First one stopped charging. They sent me another one. Second one kept freezing over and over again. Customer service was great - they refunded my money. Been looking for another one.
