That's one of the best 80's I've ever seen.
Anyone in the states know if there is there additional duty fees?

@socalmtbiker I did not pay any extra fees - shipped to my house in NY no problem.
What kind of bike you ride?

Nice - just curious. I have a buddy that big into mountain biking in SoCal. He use to run a Specialized shop but now runs for Trek.
I really like the mounting design of these sliders. But, did you have to drill the frame to mount them? I've looked at my frame and the logical places to mount them has giant holes...seems like if you used those holes there would be a lot of potential slack in the mount.
No drilling but it's a tight fit. The bracket hugs the frame then the bolt clamps down from over the top of the frame.
Ohhhh...wait, from over the top of the frame? I think I'm thoroughly confused now.
Some sliders use a bolt on top and a bolt on bottom, slider on one side, bracket on the other, to create the mount.
These use a welded integral "U" shaped bracket so only the top bolt is needed. Less hangs down under the frame rail. Maybe a pic would help?
Ok, yeah, that makes sense. Were the holes they utilize in the frame a lot bigger than the bolt?
No holes in the frame. The bracket length matches the frame height so the bolt basically rests on the top of the frame. The fitment is close enough that for one of the bolts I had to slightly bend it in a vice so it would clear the frame top and still go through the hole on the other side of the bracket. Really all the top bolt does in this application is keep the sliders from falling off.
Below is a pic from a Slee webpage. See how they use a "U" bolt to attach the slider at top and bottom.
I liked the aesthetics and the price of the Cruisin OffRoad product, so I went that way. I have no idea which way is stronger/better.
Are they still selling these? I'm interested in a set shipped to the US.
Interesting. I emailed him a couple times and never got a reply. Couldn't find a phone number anywhere either...

Jason is an awesome dude! He did a bunch of work for my BJ74 and I am getting a set of sliders for my new 100-series from him. I just sent him an email alerting him to this thread, hopefully he will chime in.

Jason is great to deal with. He'll build them the way you want them.

Out in the shop, building something cool!
Hey guys, just catching up on some emails here. I am a day behind, but have replied to everyone who had inquired about a set for an LX470 or 100 Series. The link on my site is good. I try to respond within 24 hours, but occasionally its a bit longer with family and work commitments.
To answer the questions about mounting, the brackets do indeed wrap the frame from below, and the bolts go above the frame rail and pinch the two vertical brackets. Due to the angle of the frame from front to back the sliders are well trapped in place, and stay put very well.
Thanks for the inquiries.
