So I just installed my TR sliders I notice the gap between the slider and the body were the old plastic should be. I'm a little worried about water coming up from that gap if I do deep river crossings also I don't want it to get filled with dirt. I know I can cut the old plastic but any recommendation on what to use to fill it in?

Its were the old plastic molding was. What notice is that the gap get smaller in the back. I'm going to be taking the sliders off to clean them maybe twice I year more if needed so any suggestions on how to fill it in or seal it ?

I have a small gap where the left rock slider runs along driver's seat. In the back is almost flashed. My right side looks better then the left.
You may have to reposition your sliders and correct it. Did you remove all the yellow plastic "pegs" before the install?

Maybe you have to move a compressor bracket. I do not know. Is it possible that it interferes with your left rock slider? How does your right side look like.
Did you try to PM Umberto or David? It would not hurt to send email with those pictures to Tactical 4x4. Keep us updated.

Both sides look the same. Mine is a 2011 I don't think that year needs the bracket hell I got it and didn't use it anyways

You wouldn't be able to install the sliders properly if you had the newer version of the compressor. However LR did install the new version pretty early on. In my case, I had to swap the compressor and they installed the new (lower) version.

I am not by my car now to double check, but something doesn't look right in those photos. There may be a tiny bit of gap even on mine, but what's with the holes visible under the door sill? Are they visible on both driver and passenger sides? On mine, the sliders run flush right under the sills, 99% sure there are no "holes" visible there, they are all covered by the upper edge of the sliders. Did you remove the lower acoustic cover of the compressor? If you have a 2011 you should have the old style Hitachi pump (unless the compressor was replaced in the past year or two), so no need for the "lift" bracket, but the bottom acoustic cover still needs to be removed for a proper fit. Otherwise, you may want to drop them and start from scratch, it doesn't appear they went up right. Did you tighten the heck out of all those bolts? It's almost as if the 6 outer bolts (not the 2 big body mount ones) were loose or something.
