Thought I'd post this to the general 80's page from our Keystone Cruisers page. The difference from the others is the mounting system, no random U bolt's. The sliders come with a bracket that slides over your frame, the bracket is actually welded on and part of the slider it's self, so VERY strong. You just slide the bracket over your frame and install one bolt (that's supplied).
Everything lined up well, one of the bolts was really tough to get on because it's right around the gas tank skid plate/cover, but if you hold the nut with a needle nose vise grip, you can tighten no problem, it was just figuring out the right tool.
Keystone Cruisers club ordered about 6 sets of these and a couple of people ordered skid plates (I did not yet). The cost is in Canadian dollars, so they are affordable, if you pay him in a check instead of Paypal, you save even more money. He ships, I don't know the standard rates, but I introduced him to Fastenal!!! lol, so our shipping was only like $150 ish. Great deal.
They come standard with square ends, I thought it would be better to have them tapered. Instead of the leading edge ramming a bolder/rock, it should slide over better. Jason said he had no problem doing that for me. So leading and trialing angles are tapered on mine, but that's not stock. If you want that, you need to mention it.
I've not wheeled with them yet, that will be on the 10th and I'll report back. But thickness, paint, welds, install and supplied hardware have all been great. Here are some pictures on my 91.
