keep in mind that the truck itself is relatively new so there's hardly any parts that are available to begin with (not just sliders). As there is more demand, the other vendors will follow suit and build parts for these vehicles. Just sux to wait that's all. I could bet my money that Stubbs and Demello have or will have stuff but when they'll showcase it, I have no clue.

I must say the Hanna sliders do look pretty sweet though Personally speaking I just like the welded approach better as I feel that it's more secure than a bolt on item. Since sliders are used to eat up the bulk of the forces from landing on rocks and other hard objects that can cause some serious body damages. Our trucks are not light so I always fear that the bolts might snap off. But then again, if tested in the right environment I'm sure it'll hold up well

If someone gave me 700 bones I'd get me one of these sliders to test it out

One of the things I like about these sliders is that they look really nice. I absolutely am NOT into the bling-thing. However, most sliders look incredibly bad. The lines of these seem to fit the vehicle very well. They LOOK more professional while a lot of the others look homemade. If you can pair that look with a quality and strong product, you've got a winner.

Of course I am biased since I originally approached Hanna to do this for the 4Runner but i'll give you some reference:
1. Hanna's bolt-on's are Moab tested on heavy, modded LC's-year after year.
2. Hanna's bolt-ons and mounting brackets for the 4Runner are truly very innovative. Neither the LC's or 4R's rely on the bolts for impact strength.
3. The sliders give more clearance than others.
4. There are so many features to his sliders that I don't see anywhere else. When they are mounted, I'll point them all out.

Anyway, look there are several solid options out there. I happen to really like Hanna's approach and product. He justifies all the design elements (and there are quite a few) with solid reasoning backed by experience.

I bought the 4Runner because I thought it was the best and I'm anxious to hang the HQ sliders as a product equal to the quality of the rig.

That's my cheerleading for the day! rah,rah

I've already emailed Ken about being interested in his first batch. If I don't end up with one of those, I'm definately interested in a group buy.

These look great. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I'm definitely interested...just running it through the budget approval committee (wife) at the moment.

If anyone is keeping track, I am in for the group buy if it happens soon (next 2 weeks or so)........ I wasn't going to wait, but it would be nice to save some $$$.

Im still in. And I'll pay half up front. I just need to see finished pics of the product including close ups of the connection arms where they connect to the frame and to the sliders so i can have some confidence they'll 'take a hit' before I cough up any loot.
