I would go with the 1/8th inch steel slotted design, more wife/child friendly and as far as constructing, I did a motorcycle trailer covered with expanded metal, and let me tell you welding that stuff on sucks. It was just hundreds of little tack welds.

that is bad ass! Im gonna copy that ok?
do you still want to keep the kick outs? It'll make it wider then if it was angled, plus I've heard sliders with kickouts make it harder to get into the back doors of lifted 4runners.
Why bother with a PVC & cardboard mock-up when you've got a CAD-like design? It looks good, just build it.

Unless the sliders are built by a computer, don't bother. I think you will find, as I did, that all six inserts will be slightly different.
I will definitely show the final product when complete, but probably won't be until mid summer though. My first priority is getting the SS 7.2 lift and installing that, which should be in the next month or two.
Thanks again for all the interest and input.
