Anyone know of this Rock Slider? gen 3

Did you get a tracking number, or is mbrpexhauststore.com just telling you they shipped?

 

Tracking #

 

Nice. I cancelled my mbrpexhauststore.com order.

Edit: They ended up shipping from mbrpexhauststore.com, so I cancelled my Amazon order. mbrpexhauststore.com customer service is tops.

I will say that mbrpexhauststore.com has great prices, and the customer service response is quick.

 

still hoping to see your report regardless of where you git it

 

Roger that.

 

How much did you get these for through Amazon?

 

$679. shipped.

 

Shipped. Two boxes. 128lbs. I wonder if the weight is actual or dimensional weight.

Master tracking number: ************ (1 of 2)
Tracking number: ************ (2 of 2)
Status: Picked up
Service type: FedEx Home Delivery
Packaging type: Package
Number of pieces: 2
Total shipment weight: 128.00 lb.

 

My order is still "awaiting shipping" according to their website which also says it's still in stock. But I'm not in a hurry and will post review when I get it.

 

My sliders will be here tomorrow. I will post up the weight when they get here.

 

Okay, sliders arrived. They weigh about 46 or 47 pounds each. Bathroom scale method, so not all that accurate.

The fit and finish looks great. Really thick powder coat...but...

...About that two-piece design, the flange plate on the front section of the passenger side slider, where the two sections of the slider bolt together, is welded on crooked, resulting in the two plates mating up at an angle, so the slider isn't rigid. Factory defect.

The driver side slider flange plates are perfectly parallel when bolted together, so it's totally rigid.

These seem decent for the money, if you get a set that are made right.

 

Are you going to return the defect? Interested to see how that goes, if you do.

 

Definitely.

 

Are you going to try to lift the truck from the driver's side to test strength? Or are you confident based off assembly?

 

I haven't installed them, waiting until I have two good ones. I don't have a high-lift, but the manufacturer claims you can lift the truck with them.

 

Thanks for the report. Mine arrives tomorrow, May 12th. Hoping there are no issues with mine and MBRP takes care of yours promptly. I'll report back tomorrow.

 

Argh! Fedex changed delivery to Tuesday. I was looking forward to installing it today.

They make aluminum sliders if I recall

 

Nah. We tried to offer a GB, not enough interest so it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen.

 

I just installed RCI sliders today and if the MBRP ones use the same mounting points in the boxed portion of the frame then be prepared to fight the brake lines on the driver's side. I have small arms and that was a challenge, I almost got stuck lol.

Edit: FWIW, it's a different brand but my sliders took almost exactly 3 hours to install by myself with a motorcycle jack.
