Is anyone going to get my Molly Hatchet refernece?!?!?!?

Oh I got it. If you're gonna try and stump me, you'll have to try harder than that!

I'm a bit hesitant to violate the vehicle from stock form as it does drive really smooth on the road and my family members are able to get in and out without struggling. Mine's currently in the shop getting custom in dash radar detector installed, mini bull bar/push bar, ss rear bumper guard, wind deflectors. I'm going overseas for 10 days but when I get back tints and RW wheels/tires will be done. Will probably mess with suspension later and need to wait 2+ months for SLEE sliders.

I'm also considering Underbody coating and possible front end 3m wrap to protect from rock chips.

2 months for sliders? Is he out of them? Worth the wait. They also make a nice step for your family's ease of entry post-lift.

 

[Reckless]

Yeah he is out of them. I'm planning to order them with black screws once they come in.

I wonder if they make it easier to get in and out of the vehicle?

About as easy as the stock steps, I think. Just a heck of a lot more robust.

word to the wise - order the rivnut tool and 7/8's drill bit from Slee. The drill bit wasn't a stock item for Slee when I ordered my sliders but it may be now. Pretty sure I bought the rivnut tool from them though. I found my bit @ granger. The frame is tough as nails to drill through - wear long sleeves of the hot shavings will brand you.

here's some visuals for you - not 7/8's - my bad 17/32 is the bit I bought and used

I also found setting up the drill so that I could use a use a pry bar as a lever to push into the frame helped get a better bite and avoid overheating the bit. Also saves your arms a lot of strain. That frame is tough.

When I installed the sliders on my last LC200, I only had a little cordless drill that didn't have the torque to pull this off. Burnt up several bits.
