Tape good in long run (especially in winter)
The tape is painful at first when you forget to either step on it or around it when exiting the truck. However, I've grown used to making sure I'm clear of the rails before putting my foot down. The way I look at it, come winter when everything is messy -- especially the sliderz -- I won't get my pants all dirty from rubbing the sliderz because I've been "trained" to not touch the sliderz. :smoker2:

Here is the grip tape I applied to my EOE Sliderz.

You can get diamond tread, etc., rubber step pads too...non-slip, and no abrasions if you forget they're there....Pep Boys, $11.
Also - On the flush - vs - sticking out issue...I like them out enough to act as a step, and to provide a place to pivot against when you need to grind a pivot turn around an inboard side rock for example...without grinding the doors. - Lance |

EOE coatings
I Line-x'd mine. I like the coating but yes it will rub/abrade the back of your legs when you exit if you don't adjust for it.

No-skid
I placed mine in strategic areas, I didn't see it necessary to do the whole slider. I opened up the doors and looked to see where I was stepping. I didn't want the skid tape to go over the edge and abrade my legs as I wear shorts about 11 months of the year!

I Herculined mine a little over a year ago and it works great! However, like Toyman mentioned, you have to swing that leg out getting in or you will hit em with your leg which is a great feeling with shorts on. I have to kick the leg even further now with the lift.

What do you think at a glance?
Schlud, did you climb up on them and see how you would be able to load up the top rack? I don't have a basket on top yet, I'm curious.
BTW, What kind of lights are those up there? P.S. Removing about .5mm skin from the back of you're leg is a great educator. I extend that sucker out there now!!! My wife never had a problem with it. |

Check those slider bolts.
I was adjusting my torsion bars last night, and noticed that one of my slider bolts was a good 1/4 away from the frame. I tightened that one down, and checked the rest. 4 more were still flush with the frame, but were already loosening.
Anyway, just a good thing to add to your pre-offroad checklist. |

Tack weld
That is why I tack welded mine...just in case!!
But I'll check tomorrow when I load up and put a dab of blue Loc-tite on them!
