    anyone have any reviews on the RCI sliders? I'm thinking of them since toytec seems to be one of the few offering shipping to Canada for a decent price and with duties paid.

    Drivers side is quite a bit harder then passenger with the brake lines that were in the way, I've got big hands and had trouble getting into the tight spaces in a couple spots. On the passenger side there is a small plastic cover and electrical plug I had to cut the bracket and modify the cover a little. I havent' done the drilling yet, but there are 4 holes on the bottom of each slider and at least one on the side that need drilled out for full strength. I'm #300 and they don't go anywhere when I step on them, with just the side bolts in.

    They look nice. 2" round tubing? What's the mounting situation?

    I mounted them with U bolts to the chassis frame.

    How far out do they go relative to door panels? Looking for door ding protection and as long as I'm at it I may as well do things right.

    Re: the Apex sliders- They are sturdy as hell. Thats why I bought sliders instead of nerf bars. Its like stepping on the frame- no bending at all.
