Anyone make step sliders for 100 similar to Slee 200 series?

• @RND1 do you have a link or photo of what the MT version would be expected to look like? I'm a NOOB and don't know who MT is.

I've been wanting something as close to below as possible, but with a real slider built underneath. The notes in your original post seem to be in the right direction.

MT is Metaltech 4x4. I don't know what they would look like yet. I sent him a pic of the Slee 200 series flow formed step slider in my original post above saying that's what I'm looking for, but haven't heard back yet.

I've had my MT Step sliders installed for a few years. I am surprised that they are asking for test fit since they have the cad drawings from previous production, and they make sliders already for 100 series. .

Chances are they will make a universal fit version that fits LX & LC AHC equipped trucks which as 2 frame attachment legs instead of 3. I have the 2 mount version on my non-AHC truck and they are plenty strong- Ive scrubbed and bumped them with the weight of the truck and no issues.

They are exactly the same as these 200 series version: Lightweight design- gusseted for strength.

I'm looking for a non-tubular slider like the Slee 200 series posted above. This is the response I got from MT:

"We can build a none tube railed slider for our hundos not a problem. However it would require fully test fitting a new version. We could not just take the tubing off our current slider as the 4" wide rail is almost 100% under the door sill. We would need to change our mounting legs to accommodate reaching down and outward to support moving the main body outboard by a min of 4" to work as a true step."

The MT 200 series slider I linked is hybrid between a plank and a tube slider. They used to make that for the 100. Stepping surface is about 4” wide and the outer tube and kicker stick out further to provide some useful benefits. Best of both designs in one imo.

Before you dismiss the outer tube consider it incorporates a kicker which is an important feature to save rear 1/4 panel, acting as a pivot point for obstacles in tight turns. It’s a high lift jack point, a tie off point for rope work, a grab rail for latrine duties, and prob a dozen other uses.

I agree, those Slee 200 series sliders are VERY handsome. I’m a huge fan of the mounting style on the Owl Expedition sliders (and I’ll probably go with them if they are put into production) but they do look a bit… agricultural by comparison.

I can appreciate all of the benefits you've outlined for the tube slider. The reality is the only obstacle I routinely encounter is the curb at my kids school when I have to park on the grass because I'm late to the school play . If I lived in CO or someplace where wheeling was a monthly occurrence then this would be more of a factor. The way I use my rig, I don't need sliders at all. But I took the oem steps off 5 yrs ago for HIH7 and it's difficult for seniors or little kids to get in the rig. So, I'm just looking for something that looks oem that will provide some more protection than the factory steps.

Totally agree. If Slee offered that step slider for our rigs, I would have already bought them. If Owl ever goes into production, I would be very interested. @Ramathorn15 Do you have any likelihood of getting these in production for 2022?
