Metaltech Slider Question (1 Viewer)

[SupraTuRD]

For those of you with Metaltech sliders, could you tell me how big the gap is between the bar and the rocker panel? Is the gap wide enough for small kids shoes to slip through?

Thanks in advance!

Yes it is wide enough for a shoe to get stuck in there, kid or adult.

I think there is enough adjustment to make it small. on mine, I can only slip my hand at most on the rear, less than 1/2" up front.

I bought the Outpost Off Road sliders from MetalTech. (I think MT also sells their own design of slider, so my experience may be different if you actually mean the MT sliders.) I have less than 1/2" between the mounting bars and the pinch weld.

Looking down by rear door I have about 2.5" of space a little foot could slip in. Hasn't happened to my kids, though. 1997 with Metaltech sliders.

These are the ones I have, good catch, the OPOR ones that Metal Tech makes or sells. They are fantastic and have been tested by me plenty at Uwharrie and nearby mountains. Very little gap, I mounted them up high too, to max the clearance to rocks. And my youngest kid wears a size 15 shoe so...

Thanks for the responses guys.

80ways: Do you think you could snap a pic from the rear of the slider looking towards the front? I'm trying to determine the positioning of the main rail/kickout/body.
