Oh man that's a real bummer, that's pretty obvious and hard to miss.
What are you going to do?

Easy fix but it's more time for LFD. That sucks that the sliders didn't come as ordered

I ordered them without the rear plates. MT is sending me one for the PS and I'll have to pay to have it welded on so it matches the DS. Noticed they missed a weld, too, on one of the stubs. This is pretty ridiculous from a company that everyone says is so awesome.
Depending on how deep they penetrated, I guess you could always cut the other plate out
Glad you got it straightened out though

They are 20% off again which means the shipping is basically negated to the east coast.

Can't find that on their website???? Got a link?
I will admit, I did not read all 8 pages of this thread. I have these sliders on the 4Runner and they are a perfect fit. Anyone have any idea in the weight difference between these ( on the LX) vs. factory running boards?

Factory probably weigh 50lbs/pr and these are probably 215/pr. Passenger side weighs a lot more than driver side due to cat protection.

One thing I can say with a fair amount of certainty is that they're not light enough to self install!

Unless your a man like me. I installed the passenger side once and the drive side 3 times all by myself. You just have to nut up!
At least 100lbs! Factory running boards were no more than 25-30lbs a piece and these are just about 100lbs a piece average with passenger side being a lot heavier like other have already said.
Mine installed just fine by myself. I used my big floor jack in the middle and they balanced out ok once you get the legs against the frame. For what it's worth, I had one of the sets that weren't right and they sent me another set and took the old ones back. Metal tech was very good about fixing it. The second set went on in minutes. They are definitely heavy but are very nice and well put together.
Some shots of them on my truck.

Or in my case drop a nut! Maybe back in the day when I was a young, dumb, and spry I would have gone alone doing these but the closer I get to 50 the longer things hurt after the fact!
I purchased a set for my 80 and I am way more than satisfied. Self-install, with minimum grunting; use some jack stands and work it up in to place. I also happen to be fairly local to MetalTech, I picked them up locally and got to talk with a few of them, including the welder. I would never pay for the powder coating unless it is for a pavement princess, but why would you own a cruiser then... 
I would recommend these OutPost sliders to any and all; I have bashed and bashed these things..

Weld on will make it a real PIA if you want to remove to refinish them when they get really scraped up...I see no issue with bolting them on.
Did you eat your all your vegetables too ..... "all by yourself "
Wonder why your sitting alone all by yourself ?????
There is your answer
Get over yourself and get back to the task at hand
