They are effectively unavailable. Last year something like 5 sets were made. I started a group buy to pool interest, but we weren't able to get an appt with a fab for a model and fitting.
I installed Slee Offroad LX570 sliders, here's how it went

A bunch of us are on the list to get a set and they are coming but you know how Slee is, nothing moves fast over there. I read somewhere (probably here) that they were beefing up the design of the arms and were going to offer optional skids for the AHC as well. We sit and patiently wait, that's all you can do, but it'll be worth it.

I would love to get on the list for a set of these. How does it work. Do I need to make a deposit?
I just emailed Slee and asked to be put on the list. Hoping they'll build the new batch soon!
Wow! I'm thankful I got my sliders last summer. I think I was one of the last to get a set before they ran low. I can tell you the sliders are indeed stout and worth the money. The LED integrated lights are great for illuminating the ground and the step.
@Tex68w I believe you're correct. The Slee team heard all of the uncertainty from the board about the globes being exposed. They started some R&D to find a way that will work some plates under them for protection. They did mention that whatever they did for these new sliders will work with the older ones. We'll see.

Let's hope you're right and that it's sometime in 2019 lol. My invoice is from back in February and I know another guy that was invoiced in September of last year.

Just want to clarify and add some info
Did you and your friend pay and not receive product? As far as I know, we’ve never taken deposits or invoiced customers for product that was not on hand.
We are working on getting the LX570 sliders back into production. We will be test fitting a first article from our supplier next week and hope to hit the go button very soon.
Happy Trails!!
No, the invoice/order was basically used as a wait list from my understanding. It shows as a no-cost backorder invoice with an order number. I am assuming that these will be offered/filled in numerical order when they do become available?!
Awesome news. Looking forward to it!
Yep! You bet.
Like others, I too have steered away from the LX 570 in my recent shopping, but these trucks look awesome with these sliders.

Second that!
I had my quarterly email exchange with Amory a couple weeks ago. Still no ETA.
There are many pre-orders I don't think it will be a secret
Hopefully by 2021.
Thank you for your notes and tips. This thread and grinchy's were very helpful. I just installed my sliders yesterday and it went well. The instructions were much improved and clear. The only tips I would add are to install the led light brackets last, they get in the way. Also, run taps through the welded bolts on the step to clean up power coat overspray as your first step, it's much harder to do once they are mounted.
