My experience with RSG Angled No Kick out Slider install

I purchased my 4runner about 3 weeks ago, and purchased angled slider with kick out next day from RSG since they are local. Then I read Jason's Post regarding his new no kick out sliders, and decided to give him a call. He told me that powder coating was two weeks out. Well exactly two weeks have passed and got a call from Jason today. I drove out to his metal shop, and got to see his fabrication shop and his awesome 4runner. Great service and upon inspection sliders were looking great.

Now for the install.
It took me about 1 hour taking my time. I think having jack stands is the key during the install.
Every bolt and holes lined up perfectly. I was concerned little since I saw a youtube video regarding RSG slider install and that guy could not get one bolt in. But my sliders lined up dead on.

Two thumbs up for Jason and his RSG staff.

[MENTION=77981]ride16734[/MENTION] - thanks for posting your experience and the pics. Considering these exact sliders. Is the powder coat finish smooth or a little rough for grip?
 
Powder coating look and feel good as any other. Texture wise I would say close to non glossy where there is enough grip so I wouldn't worry about slipping. Slider I had on my TJ rubi was from RockHard 4x4 and their finish was glossy black. I had to put on grip tape on those since it was too slick for step use.

I didn't have a chance to weigh them since I installed them soon as I got home. But it has good weight to them, where I would not have been able to install without jack stands. My guess would be around 45-55 pounds each. Then again it could be more.... it's tubing is larger than Heftyfab's, and I also wanted angled rather than flat. Trails I will take on has lots of boulders and I will need few more inches of clearance.
 
The title is a bit misleading - makes one think you’re going to delve into actual use of the sliders, vs experience with the company themselves lol
 
Yup [MENTION=152854]JasonRSG[/MENTION] is a good guy and im assuming his team as well. He responds quick with any questions you toss out..

I have the kick out and also gave a review similar to yours..

Cannot wait for their new products down the road, I hope its better than Gobi Racks lmao..
 
[MENTION=77981]ride16734[/MENTION] did you remove the frame plugs or install over them?

I removed mine before install. I don't know that it'll affect the outcome either way, I just figured it would be best to sit flush to the frame with nothing between.
 
Can’t wait to get mine, ordered the same exact ones. [emoji106]

I just installed mine today---they were boxed well and everything arrived in perfect condition.
I had one issue that I still need to solve---every bolt lined up perfect BUT on both sides I had issues with the bolts that replace the originals that hold the brake line clips. The original bolts were too short and I couldn't get the bolts that RSG sent more than 1/2 way. The OEM bolts were self-threading and I am wondering if the threads didn't go deep enough. I tried everything to get them in but it wasn't happening. I think I am going to grab some longer self threading (but shorter than the RSG) and see if I can get them in. Anyone else have an issue or a better solution? There are plenty of bolts to secure the sliders to the frame so I am really only concerned with keeping the brake lines secure.
 
I recently installed my sliders (different manufacturerer) by myself.
I lated on my back with the slider on top of me (45 lbs each). Raised one end with my knee and the other with a hand. Threaded in a bolt on the end a one in the middle. This held it in place for the rest of the bolts (10 per slider).
Didn't touch the brake brackets. All holes aligned up, though I was skeptical with one at first. But it was fine.
Flat with plate and kick out.
