Sliders from White-knuckle Off Road

I was sold on these until my buddy with a 80 series running the same type of u-bolt mounted sliders said theres a ton of flex when the whole weight of the truck is on his sliders. For the people who have installed theirs, have you tested them yet?

Although I don't have any other sliders to compare them to on my 4Runner, I have tested these on multiple occasions, and use them as a jacking point regularly. Flex is very minimal, a couple centimeters maybe.
 
I'm so frustrated with the driver's side. Any tips?

The drivers side is def a pain but doable, I dropped the factory gas tank skid plate back when I had it and that made it a little bit easier to get the U bolts through, also a wratchet with swiveling head will make the install a lot easier because there's no way your getting a standard wratchet wrench on some of the bolts to tighten them down. Also on the drivers side there is a specific u bolt that has to be installed by the gas tank it's a little shorter and makes life easier trust me I found that out the hard way once I was almost done installing and was wondering why one u bolt towards the drivers side Front tire was so short so need less to say I swapped that one with the one I had to man handle to get in by the gas tank and it was 100 times easier.
 
Has anyone put the WK sliders on a TRDPRO? Just looking for confirmation that they fit ok. Email back from them said they had not actually test fit any yet but assume they will.

Should fit just fine. TRDP is no different then a stock trail in terms of the rocker trim.

Shouldn't be a problem at all. If anything, should be a little easier to install since TRD Pro doesn't have KDSS.
 
Worst washer, locking washer, and nut to install was passenger side most forward on top. I asked WKO to make these w/o angling up.

Sent you a pm w some questions, if you don't mind. Thsee might be exactly what I'm looking for, finally.
 
So at best you will have 6 points on the skid plate where you will need to hit with a grinder, torch, plasma cutter, sawzall, drill or die grinder depending on what you have. I am going to guinea pig this for you since I should have my sliders next week and I am going to install the Budbuilt skid plates as soon as I get around to ordering them.
Has anyone installed skid plates with these sliders? Any modifications required to mount skids?

I am considering Shrockworks skid plates but I do not know how they mount and if they are going to conflict with these sliders.

I will be picking up my WKOR sliders from the shop any week now, i'm getting excited....

How is the install on these? I am planning on using a couple jack stands and removing the gas tank skid.

I have White Knuckle Sliders and RCI skids, no modifications required.
 
Limited w/ XREAS

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this thread was mentioned from the Consolidated Slider Info Thread and is one of the sliders I'm considering purchasing.

After looking on WK website, they don't offer a slider for a Limited with XREAS. I may have missed it, but this question is for those with a Limited and bought one these sliders. Did you guys still had the XREAS system when you bought the sliders?

John (owner) used to make them years ago but I don't think there was enough business for him to keep them in production. If you look in my thread, early on, I have install photos. I have since sold them but they were solid and fit great. The problem is the LE molding, most manufactures don't account for the extra 2" of side molding and I get it, there isn't enough business for it.

I would purchase the shrockworks molding to replace the LE molding. You gain 2" in clearance and have more options to vendors.

Good luck
 
I hate to bump an old thread, but I'm new to the forum and still under the 15-post minimum to make a new thread. (Too bad - I'd like to start my own build thread).

I just took delivery of a 2016 TRDP a few days ago and I'd like to add WK sliders as one of my first mods. But I have questions and John has not yet responded to my inquiries via email and his Facebook page. Have others had this experience with him? I can't tell if he's just busy, or my email didn't get through, or what. And I don't see a phone number or even a location for him anywhere online. Par for the course, is he on vacation, or what?

By the way, I'm planning to have my sliders welded on. Probably going to use ACC in Atlanta. Any tips or gotchas I should be aware of?

Thanks.
