I've never heard of them, but I must say they are very appealing.

Very nice.
Can you do me a huge solid if you have a chance and measure between the back two braces?? Also, the height from the bottom of the rectangular mounting plate to the base of the pole that connects it to the slider?
Trying to figure out if these will work with XREAS. Spoke to John Yesterday and *seems* like I can make it happen.
Yeah, I'll see if I can get under there and get some measurements for you tomorrow. The only portions of my XREAS that was left when I went to install these sliders were the the plastic push brackets that hold all the lines in place. I know I had to pop off a good number of them to clear space for the sliders to bolt against the frame rail. I'm guessing you could probably make it work with the XREAS still installed, but weaseling the mounting flanges behind/between the lines will probably be a bit of a trick. I can take some pictures of the areas where the flanges and U bolts fit around the frame rail as well if you want.

Thanks for the pictures! I somehow glazed right over the customer rigs section on John's website.
After seeing the pictures and talking with John, I'm definitely sold. Looks like I'll place an order next week and I'll post up my thoughts when they come in. Going with the top plate option - I really like that it's removable, doubles as a step and also offers added protection from on/off road debris.

Lemme know if this helps.
You're the man. Thanks. It does, but I also need the pole thickness if you have a chance. As well as the distance from the lower link to the first mount (closes to back) kind of on a diagonal i guess would be the best place to measure it from? So I can get an idea of where the slider mounts in relation to the reservoirs. Let me know if that makes sense?
I'd DEFINITELY want to run the hydraulics above the slider so that they don't get crushed by rocks...
I can see where your fluid reservoirs were mounted :naughty:

The "poles" are 1.5" square tube. It's roughly 7.5" from the center of the forward lower link bolt to the rear edge of the rear slider mounting flange.

Just spoke with John @ White Knuckle again. Going to take some final measurements, and finally order. He said he'll place the center support at whatever spacing I need so I won't have to modify to fit with my RCI tranfer case skid.
Also - for anyone looking at these with XREAS - he said he is now making XREAS compatible bolt on sliders for 4th GEN. The first set shipped out today.
Thanks to Mike for running tape on his set so I could see where the middle leg needed to move.

Yeah...he actually asked after you, too. I'm sure you could always bail and order these. You know they won't even start building the other sliders for another 2 months
He said he's working a 2-3 week turnaround right now.

Just thought I'd update this thread. After some measuring and looking at the pics from EdmundGTP and NJShadow93, I spoke with John and he's going to push the center support 3.5" back from the original design. Original design has 24" between the rear and center mount (inside edge to inside edge), and to clear the RCI skid, John is adjusting that to 20.5" gap.
This will put the center mount snugly inbetween the RCI transfer case skid and the gas tank skid. Should be here round the first week in October and I'll post up the pics then. Thanks for the photos and measurements, guys!

That is good news and service. My BAMF sliders from the May GB should be here early October.
