Finally Frame Mounted Sliders from LOD OFFROAD!!!

[Frankie945]

Finally got to bounce off the sliders a few times on my last wheeling trip and this one was caught on camera. Rock solid product from Lod you can even see the body bounce around a little after the hit yet the sliders stay steady and firm.

Hey, got my sig series in yesterday. I've only opened one box so far (box 2) which only had the slider in it. I looked at the packing slip for box one and it shows slider plus hardware in box 1.

However, my question is about the plates wich screw into the underside of the slider (pic below). Are both sets of plates included in box one with the hardware? (I'd check but would prefer to not open the box yet, and also not at home)

Why do these bottom plates screw in vs being welded on? The screw heads are vulnerable to damage...

I agree, it was also pretty annoying to have to screw them all in.

that is for their armor lite sliders, it screws to the bottom of those sliders to offer more protection to them..

Just ordered mine. If anyone is looking, they're doing a labor day sale which was better pricing than the forum discount. Now is probably the time.

Got mine installed- these are very well made and look awesome.

However, like several others I was not thrilled with the brake line and harness rubbing on the front driver side gusset. I wasn’t crazy about trimming anything off of the slider, but after some thinking I came up with a solution I like and I think will work well. Follow the steps below if you’re looking to protect your brake lines and harness in this area without cutting the slider at all.

1) jump on McMaster Carr and order a 2’ length of 1/4” x 3/8” PTFE trim:

2) cut two pieces about 2 1/2” long, and one around 3” long. Take the 3” long piece and cut just the sides in the center. Heat the center lightly in the middle with hot water or a heat gun so it will bend, and bend it to 90 degrees so it looks like this:

3) this bent 1/4” trim will fit perfectly over the inside corner on the gusset where the brake lines and harness rub. It will also fit very well around the brake lines. Pull the harness and lines away from the gusset and slip this piece in place. Take the other two pieces and slip them over the brake lines, and rotate them so they are flat-to-flat with the 90 degree bent piece.

On my truck the brake lines are tight enough to the gusset that I don’t think these will come out. I’m going to keep an eye on them over the next few hundred miles to see how they stay in place, and if I need too I’ll use zip ties to secure them. But I don’t think it will be necessary. The two pieces of PTFE in contact with each other should last a VERY long time if there is any vibration.
