CBI GXOR issue

[WBrown999]

Happy to report that CBI rushed out a new and corrected set of sliders to my buddy this week. He swapped out the old ones and is ready to rock.

Original faulty set, protruding into the wheel well and making contact with the tire with only a slight turn of the steering wheel.

New set, shorter and quartered inboard to better clear the turning front tire.

Much, much better! Has CBI confirmed that this is a permanent update to the design of the sliders? I would love to get a set if it is.

I like that the sliders go the FULL length. Seems all the tube sliders are several inches short at both front and rear of wheel wells.

Got in touch with CBI today. They say the rubbing issues have been fixed by shaving the problem corner off of the new sliders they make. However, some GX specialist mechanics are saying there is still rubbing issues if you try to run a 35" tire.

So, CBI may still be a good option if you are less serious about tire size, but not great for you big boy 35 inchers.

Hello, I know this is an old thread but I am looking at these sliders for my GX but wondering if anyone has had some trail/off road experience with them? From what I can tell they dont stick out as much as the tubular sliders. Does it give good protection? I'm kinda doubting especially the middle area. Don't know why they couldn't have made it a straight line instead of the "notch" in the middle. Anyway, if anyone here has experience on the trail. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks
