Slightly OT and probably a stupid question, to boot.... but does replacing Limited rockers with TE rockers mean that the Limited's Fugly lower chrome strip will be gone?

Yes. And you'll also need to ditch the front fender flares from the Limited and use the Trail. Looks mismatched IMHO as you will have mudflaps on the front and not the rears unless you go with an aftermarket one.
I'm planning on just trimming my stock rockers to fit once my sliders come in.

Chris or Okki -
How did you bend the hardline? I am in the middle of installation, but the hardline feels really firm. I am afraid of causing damage by pushing too hard... Did you use a tool or anything to bend it? How did you mount the hose clamp to the top of the vehicle, just screw through the floor anywhere?
Sorry, total newbie to almost anything mechanical here.
I just used my hands and pulled... I sent you a PM with my number if you want to talk about it.
Before: (Note that bolt on gussets would allow the XREAS line to run "through" the slider mount).
After:
Okki

Awesome, thanks so much Okki.
I just got back from Lowe's and I believe I found the same hose clamps you used, also picked up some nylon spacers. I also found the screw hole on the underbody (I didn't notice that at first and thought you somehow drilled through the floor).
I did mentioned I had a Limited when I ordered from Shrockworks (6 months ago?) and at that time the sales rep said no mods were needed to the runners for installation. Too bad I hadn't asked for bolt on gussets.
Your mod looks straight enough. I'll resume tomorrow and see about just bending with my hands. I think the line was still clamped to the underbody in a few places and I just need to remove the clamps in order to pull it further out.
Thanks for the PM! Got your number. I'll try not to bug you unless I really get stuck!

yup.. there are a few plastic clamps .. I unclamped in one place on each side if I recall correctly (at work so can't check).

So almost finished.
Okay, so for the passenger-side, rear, bottom (opposite the gas tank) - the hole isn't threaded. I also don't see anyway to insert one of the nut-on-a-sticks inside of the vehicle in order to bolt the bottom on. Is this okay, or did you figure out a way to install it?
I also noticed you used a lot of the bigger-silver bolts for the rear. I just couldn't get these to thread, and had to use the smaller colored bolts for every single installation area (except the bolt on gusset and the gastank strap bolt).
Thank you!

Hi Craig,
yeah.. you're using a nut on a stick for those. there are a few that where a bit of a challenge to find how to get the nut on a stick in. Let me know if you need me to take pics/provide some extra details.
I'm working tomorrow, so I wont get to it till late afternoon.

Okay all issues resolved. I just used a dremel to grind the sides of a nut-on-a-stick to fit it in the rear, and I had to drill a hole in to mount the front angled area of the slider. I now I have six bolts holding them on each side. Ready for some off-roading.
