Sometime after the front bumper gets finished in January.

Well I got to see Sal's sliders in action today. He dropped it on a rock hard and they held like they should. Sal has the video of it. It was awesome!!!
IMO, these sliders are the best I've seen. They are solid, well built, and will hold up a heavy Jeep. I drolled over these things all day. You did a great job sir at the design and fabrication of these sliders. For that, you get a thumbs up.
Ok as Toby said I dropped the sliders on a rock to test them out. I will let you decide how well they held up. The first drop I eased onto them to test them the second run I slammed the XK on them. The entire weight of the left side of my XK landed on these things.

I dont know what was better..the fact that they held swimmingly or a.j. freaking out about it!
lol that was an awesome video!
Damn i gotta get out wheeling with you guys some day :(
That is your promotional video. Feel free to edit AJ's giddiness, lol.
We all seen the video by now of how hard I came down on the sliders. Besides putting some scratches on them which is to be expected I put a very small dent in the bottom of them. I was actually expecting to find a bigger dent then that because of how hard I came down.
Its so small its hard to see in the pic

sliders look and preform great from what I can tell... I smell a tax money gift...
I think it goes without saying..... if that want just a "test", those sliders would have paid for themselves 3 fold (at least)
What's the price of these bad boys? Link? PM?
You been living under a rock or what bro! http://www.thesteelarmadillo.com/
what happened ? get stuck in the mall parking lot or something ?
Sal or Knappster, is there places on those rails a Hi-lift would work?>
Looks like you'd have to use a D-Ring or similar to use in conjunction with either the lift-mate (LM-100) or the bumper lift (BL-250)
Edit: and go around one of the short tube supports so it couldnt slide to the front or rear. That's be the most stable spot i see anyway.
On the tube would probably be fine?! I've seen guys do it there without problems.
Just want to be careful that it doesn't slide.
Here is a teaser until Omelet posts more!

So far I love them! It is hard to get used to how far they stick out. After I got home i opened my door to get out and I was like Wow there is a huge bar there :D It will be nice to have some door protection now and not just rocker protection. The weight is the same as the 4xGuard rails, so that is nice. I feared they would be heavier.
Ya it takes some getting use to getting out LOL

Sigh.... Now I just want mine.
Love your wheels! Plasti dip? Sliders are sweet!
Thanks! Not Plastydip, I taped off the pockets, sanded down the face, sprayed some adhesion promoter, then primer, base color (graphite), un-tape everything, and gave the entire wheel a glossy clear coat. Oh, and then added an ORT sticker! :D
looking good
looks great man. ima little jealous
Omelet, school me on ORT - have a link? Not sure what that is, but I have seen it a lot on the XK WK Facebook page.
