I guess that was leading to my next question, does anybody have their hands on a set yet. Guess not.

Nice work, I as well bashed my running boards up pretty darn good before getting sliders. Not saying the running boards are anything like a slider, but for minor hits they do take a few hits and kinda protect the doors.
Anyways, that aside, you really cant go wrong with WKO or BudBuilt. I'm a Budbuilt guy, I just like the company how much they just go overboard with armor. I wasn't concerned at the time with weight, so I did the thicker DOM option with full diamond plates for kids/Grandma. But the far majority of AZ 200 guys I know all have WKO and have never had an issue. BudBuilt has the full frame mounting plate which is what sets them aside from anybody else. I'm sure it is stronger than other with that. I was also sold on the 100% bolt on. Would buy again. That all being said, the 100% bolt on in no way was an easier install. And the strength I'm sure is there, but I've yet to know anybody who has broken a Slee or WKO slider. So, I like BudBuilt the best, but cant go wrong with any of the main players.

Awesome! Thanks for your insight. I know I’m not going to be doing advanced level trails anytime soon, so I’m leaning towards the white knuckle HREW with diamond plate.

White Knuckle quality is pretty dam good materials and design , I like that the tread plate is removable .
Thats what turned me off on the Slee was the nut inserts . The kick out on the sliders is a must for me , has allready saved my quarter panels a few times .
I love the construction of the BB sliders but I hate the diamond plate cover, I've always felt that diamond plate cheapens the appearance. If they offered a dimple die cut plate welded in like some of the other manufacturers I'd jump all over BB sliders. Personally I don't care about having a tread plate but the misses won't allow that so I am still leaning towards Slee even though they lack in the kickout and install.
MT has a kickout and dimple die.
It's funny, I never see the MT sliders on 200's but they are common other Toyota models. I ran a set of their sliders on my 2012 FJC and I was very happy with them. I just checked freight for having them shipped and it's nearly $600 to Texas, that's insane. Slee sliders are over $200 cheaper and nearly $300 less on the freight using the same company, I can't justify the extra $500 for the MT sliders.
Interesting. I bought a skid set from them and the freight was basically free, like $35.
Did you call?
I didn't but you are local to them, I am in south Texas, big difference in terms of freight difference but $600 is nearly half of the cost of the sliders.
I don't think most folks choose the diamond plate, here's dimple up and down. There are several sets floating around with a screw-in filler plate as well.
That’s really nice. I “have” to get the diamond plate for the increased grip, especially during the times my mom visits. I have a step stool, but for whatever reasons she refuses to use it.
I guess once I get a lift she’s going to have to learn how to use the stepstool! But yeah, the dimples look way better and more stock.

My short and elderly mom and kids have no grip issues with the dimple down version. Vehicle height is still an issue for my mom, but she manages when I visit.
If grip was an issue I'd throw on some skate grip tape, but it has been unnecessary.
The kickout has the added benefit of a large step for my kids.
Great points. No clue why I didn’t think of grip tape! Thanks
I run them on my 200. Shipping to Colorado was around 300 if I remember correctly. Love them.
Hit them up during the black friday sales. They usually do free shipping. I couldn't wait because I wanted them for LCDC and had already bent the heck out of my stock running boards.
I still suggest calling and having MT confirm that shipping. if you already did that I'll just show myself out
