Sorta. They aren’t on the website and there is a waiting list. I’m on the waiting list. No clear timeline.

The Slee sliders are great for the LC but (IMO) not ideal for the LX. They leave the AHC components completely exposed, more so than the stock mini-sliders.

The accumulators do sit slightly higher than the frame, but if I'm paying 1,000 dollars I don't want to protect the side sill (which I could easily cover up with the original side steps) and leave the suspension completely exposed.
I am confident @reevesci or BudBuilt could make a very good slider that is designed for the LX.
I voted for $1000.

I called a while ago and asked them about them. If I remember correctly I think they are actually a decent amount more like $1300+. I was inquiring about using them on a 200 and they said they fit but due to mounting restrictions on the LX they are not as solid as the regular 200 sliders. The other thing is they come with the lighting for the LX Included which is partly why they cost more. Not worth it for a 200 with the extra lighting you can’t use and weaker mounts. I will say they look cool though.The Slee sliders are great for the LC but (IMO) not ideal for the LX. They leave the AHC components completely exposed, more so than the stock mini-sliders.

Yes, there is a wait list. Perhaps if we get some demand centralized they'll get prioritized.

I've looked underneath before and started brainstor
I get on a monthly average 14.2 inquiries per month for 570 sliders.
Here is what I did with the air system on the Rover HSE. Basically what I'm thinking of designing around.

I am interested. I will be in SOCAL until the end of June before driving back to the east coast and would love to check out a prototype if anything is available.

We are looking at the feasibility of adding protection for that area, but that said, we have wheeled the LX with the sliders in place on trails that most people would probably not take their truck and never got a rock or anything close to those areas.
The problem with starting to add protection for that area, to get any strength for an upward force, you would have to sacrifice a considerable amount of ground clearance.
Sometimes there are just trade offs.
As for the lighting, we are looking to see if we will offer the light kit as a separate add on for LX owners, that way LC owners does not have to pay for it if they do not want it.
We are also not marketing these as a the ultimate rock crawling slider for the LX, they are a functional slider that will protect the rocker panel and acts as a proper step for those that want to retain that functionality.
Christo,
Others on the forum have stated that they are on a waiting list for these sliders. What can we expect regarding time frame for delivery if I were to place an order now?

Kicking up top in case some lx owners didn't see the thread and want sliders.
I'd be game if we just did a batch order from Slee for a little discount. For my use I'm not worried about the AHC component location. I tucked my air compressor tanks in the same spot on my FJ and my sliders got used hard on a weekly basis for a decade and I never dinged the tanks. (Now that I've said this I'll be that guy who destroys my AHC at this LCDC trip in Telluride!)
I'd also be stoked if this thread spurred another slider option in the market. More support the better!

Have someone drive down to Redding and have @reevesci build a jig for them for all to enjoy.
Or just wait for Slee.
Both will be good products either way.

I can get a good idea over the course of a day. But may need 1-3 days to get these finalized. It would be a "cost" price for you with install as well.

This is getting better and better.
Jason,
I am traveling the next couple of weeks. I can drive up in the middle of the week and hang out. It would be great to meet you as well.
I will message you after the 12th of June. Thank you.

@cc93cruiser It's good to have a backup plan. Thanks for volunteering!
