Just to be clear, these were the skid plates for the truck, not the skids for the sliders. As Jackson mentioned those will be available early in the new year.

Are there any more pictures of the skids? weights? how far back do they go? cover the gas tank? materials?
When available, I plan on swapping out my ARB skids for Slees
We’re measuring and test fitting the first production batch of sliders Today.
On the skids, we'll have more info early in the year. We still need to write install instructions and photograph the production units. The skids start at the radiator support and flow through the transfer case. They are made of a high strength mix of 3/16" and 1/8" steel (we're evaluating an aluminum option early in the year). I can't remember weight off hand, i'm thinking they came in around 140bs, I'll update later. Picture is of a pre-production set (a few minor changes for production).

I've been struggling to make a decision on sliders for months now and these have me ready to pull the trigger if they fit up to a 2013 LC. Sounds like there is a waiting list and haven't been able to successfully connect with Slee via phone or the info email on the website. I don't want to wait months and months to get sliders but these are definitely my preference. Any suggestions?

hey
What is your criteria for sliders?
Is there something making you want LX-specific sliders on your LC instead of LC-specific sliders?

You'll probably have quite a wait. Names on the list for almost two years. . .

I like the look of a more 'factory style step' for lack of a better description but with actual protection/pivoting capability. The lead times for everything has kept me from buying the bud built options (I'd have them by now if I had just ordered them a couple months ago) and while I like the Metal Tech ones I haven't seen a lot of folks on here with them to know how they hold up. I recognize I am just hurting myself by trying to avoid buyers remorse and still not having the protection I need. These are the first ones where I had an instant reaction of 'yep that's what I want.' I'll probably just end up ordering bud built for the quality/reputation and just hope it doesn't take two+ months to get them. Otherwise I'll still be looking two months from now.
Well folks, it's official. We test fit and measured a random sample from the first production batch and they fit great. I'm updating install instructions as I type. It's been a crazy ordeal getting these up to speed, and I'm really excited to finally say that they are online. My office amigo Tim isn't on here, but he's also busted his butt to make these happen. Folks will be contacted in the order that they we're placed on the list.
They are fully compatible with the 200, and include the hardware to mount. Once all the orders have been fulfilled, I'll be contemplating a set for my own rig. While I'd say they are slightly lighter duty than our traditional style tube sliders, I have no doubt they will stand up to what I'd throw at them. I think @Ohnoitsbreaux has put them to the test lol.
Cheers all and thanks for your patience, can't wait to see them on your trucks this summer.

They are being prepped for shipping as I type

Congrats @sleeoffroad! The 570 crowd is going to be so happy! Do these have lights like the first gen 570 sliders?
invoice shows light kit as optiona.
Lights are optional and available at time of purchase.
I got contacted and bought some today around 6pm EST. I’d guess I’ve been in the confirmed list 15-16 months.
really like the look of the new sliders, even though I have a LC not LX, I definitely prefer that look. Hard part for me is install. Maybe I can finally find someone who knows how to help me do it. The new sliders are sealed on the bottom, correct?
Just wanted to see where you guys were on the list. I am assuming you didn't have enough to cover the original group. Any idea on the time frame of the next batch and will it be enough to cover the remaining names on the list?
Also, will the next batch be shipping with the skids?
Thanks.
Following- Interested in sliders and skid plates... but also don’t want to wait 15months.
Did I read correctly that these will fit Land Cruisers as well as LXs? Do we have an official cost? They look absolutely great. I looked on Slee's site and didn't see them on there yet.
In another post it was (I believe) $1150 for the sliders, $50 for the lights and about $2-250 for the slider skids.
