    This weekend I finally had time to get my AP sliders on.

    Two things that I was surprised of- 1, they actually came on time, and 2- the bolted up with no issues.

    I just primed and rattle canned them satin black. I have to do some touch up after the install. 57394251042__1DEDEC0D-D9AE-49F7-879A-FF5546574BA2.JPG.jpg

    You should use bed liner spray on top of it so you don't slip off that smooth surface.

    Another option is buy anti slip /traction tape (outdoor) . Probably a cleaner look if you're not going to spray the whole slider.

    Apologize if a dumb question...but do those stick out far enough to be used as steps for entry/exit? Also, is that picture looking from the front of truck to the back?

    People call it sliders/ step/ rocker bars/ running boards/ tube step depending on the design. They're all used as steps . I like it because not only as a step but keeps truck ding free ( sort of) .
