Does anybody have a picture of a 200 with BudBuilt sliders or steps with kickers? Trying to see if they stick out far when the sliders w/ kickers are at 0 degrees rather than the standard 20 degrees. Thanks!

I have had the BB sliders, with kick outs, not angled up, with diamond plate on top and DOM tubing. I have been told that the kick outs are noticeable from others that are admiring my rig. No close up comparison pics.

I would do the same again if I had another 200. The sliders have done a great job between the rocks and the ones that the other guy didn't hit but I did. The kick outs have saved the side panels when maneuvering around slow moving trees and my dogs love the kick out to get in and out of the back seat.

Let me know if you want some pictures from the boat launch tomorrow.

Appreciate the feedback! I’m considering the exact same configuration.

I really wanted to be sure that the kicker was not awkward, because it extended 17.5 inches straight out from the frame (according to the BB website). The fact that you would do it again tells me all I need to know.

Pictures would be great if you have any to share. If not, no big deal.

Thanks again

Thank you for the picture! Looks great on your rig!

I’ve landed on the diamond plated BB step without the kicker. Going for a very understated look and while your pictures look perfect, I just struggled with the BB website that said that the kicker pushed the edge of the slider from 15.5” from the frame to 17.5” - seems like an awful lot when I break out the measuring tape to visualize it.

Regardless, really appreciate the help.

I have the BB Step Sliders (not angled) with OUT the kicker and feel they stick out plenty and look clean and discreet

Have you posted these pics on here before?

If so, I think these are the pics that helped me make the decision to get them, and I’m very happy I did

Trying to decide what to go with for a 2016+ LX...

I thought I was set on the Slee ones, but these look interesting...are these available for LX also?

No Budbuilt for LX unless you remove AHC. :(

Although I bent the hell out of my Slee sliders on my Tundra, I was still going to put them on my 200 because will see much lighter use.

But when I went to order them, it was almost $500 for just freight. Hard pass
