I agree with the Sliders from Offroving.Com. Seen them in action and they are the real deal.

If you have any questions on these sliders, let me know. I have had a set for about a year and half and was involved in the testing and creation of them.

I have a couple of decent photos of them on the table here:

(the second shot is for the RRS with its curved door panels)

Mr. Woods, do your sliders affect the seal at the bottom of the door that keeps the water out?? Because you have to take the plastic paneling off the bottom to my recolection.

It does not! The door itself has two seals, one big compression seal around the inside perimeter of the door, and another external skirt seal at the very bottom of the door.

On my truck, we installed the sliders with an additional seal on one side only, and I did many water crossings to see if it helped any. I've never had any water egress on either side, with or without the additional seal.

On this photo, you can just make out the two factory seals on the door itself, and of course, this is the side were we did not add an additional seal to the top of the slider:

 

[Randall]

yeah those sliders look really tuff thanks for your help. one more question though how complicated was the install?

 

[nwoods]

It's pretty simple, and comes with instructions. Bolts into existing holes, however you do have to trim the front rocker panel just a bit (an X-acto blade will work).

A hydraulic floor jack will make life MUCH easier.

The jacks are to hold the sliders in position while bolting on, correct?
