Very nice!

Here are the pics you all requested of the LC as a whole with the slee sliders on......

On the way there
I like the look too. Almost factory with better functionality. It's a big vehicle though....
Nice job on the sliders Christo and dtt.

Can anyone confirm if these sliders are air bag compatible? Do the mounting points affect the trigger and rate of crush for the side airbags?

Are you talking about the original plate or the Rasta plate?
The original one I used a grinder to take off two of the tabs....for the rasta ones I didn't install them myself so I don't know what exactly they did.
But the sliders were installed before I did the plates so above is how I did it originally.

One hole for the mount on the skid plate will go through a hole on the slider, there is an additional bolt that attaches the slider to frame that will interfere with the tab on the skid plate. Trim the tab to clear the bolt head.

Yes, good question. I did check out the slee web site , but no mention.
Slee - 200 Series Land Cruiser Rock Sliders

Do you really think that someone would make a set of sliders and submit them on a 200 series for DOT crash testing? How much are you willing to spend on a set anyway? By the best ones you can find, and thank God you did when your truck saves your life on the trail or on the road.
ARB indicates there front bumper maintains the air bag integrity of the LC 200. I would not wish to restrict the Airbag safety of the vehicle. Passenger safety is very high in the 200.

Well the air bags are fine with the ARB bumper. With the sliders I don't have a clue...to be honest.

These are not tested for airbag compliancy due to obvious reasons. To do that, we would have to get a 200 and crash it with the rails on them and prove that it did not affect airbag deployment. Obviously outside the scope of making a limited quantity sliders for a small market.
If you are concerned about the deployment of the side bags, then I would certainly advise you not to install these.
For reference, the ARB bumper for the 80 series LC is also not airbag compliant. There later models are.

I have not seen a set of sliders for the 200 that are compliant, but I do believe TJM and ARB is working on it. Not sure if they are required to crash it in Australia, or if they can do computer modeling to prove it.

I would agree that the sliders are mounted low, and a vehicle may strike higher up the door panel. In the advent of a accident where personal injury may occur. One would like to have the assurance that your modified vehicle would not negate your vehicle insurance. Food for thought at least.
Funny this topic came up when it did...I originally purchased my sliders 2 - 1/2 months ago...and just found time to install them this morning.
I will post pics up once I have some, but I wouldn't be worried about the airbag deployment. If someone T-bones ya fast enough, those airbags will certainly pop.

You really didn't install them like right as FedEx was delivering them??? I'd be out there waiting with my tools in hand!
Keen to see photos, what colour did you go? Personally I like the silver ones. It would be interesting if and when TJM or the ARB ones come into the market. No doubt air bag compliance then will be a formality.
