Just ordered my sliders a couple weeks ago! Pretty excited and will hopefully have them around Christmas. Check back here for the pictures because I'll be posting some. I may even do a writeup if there are any tricks to bolting them on around the AHC components. Of course I do have a welder if things get tricky. I've included a shot that I had available of the LX to get this thread started!
As a side note, I decided to purchase my white knuckle offroad sliders from John after researching and looking at all the various companies producing sliders for the 100. I like the ones with the kickout in the rear because it's functional as a larger step and it prevents the rear end from taking a hit from a tree in tighter quarters. I liked the original design by whiteknuckle better than the current version, but decided to stick with John after reading what Metal Tech has been up to the last couple years. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it seems that Mark Hawley of MetalTech LLC and his counsel are bullying a few of the slider manufacturers with trademark infringement litigation.
There are a number of differences in the way those sliders in question are made and whiteknuckles original build looked to be superior from an engineering, aesthetic, and quality control perspective as far as I'm concerned. In my opinion, Metaltech should not have been issued the mark as there are some pretty questionable arguments they brought forth in their application. They even went to the extent to create evidence during their application process by asking for IH8mud.com user comments to support their claims under the guise of a poll question. I'll reserve the rest of my opinion on the matter because it's long and detailed and this is not the proper forum for it. I will say this though, Metal Tech lost my business because of the way they chose to conduct theirs.
And just for the record. I have no afiliation with John or whiteknuckle offroad. I do however, have a very large distaste for those who use the legal system in a manner adverse to the spirit and intent of the laws and systems in place.

Yes. This thread is about the sliders that I'll have sitting in my garage someday soon.
