Re: Complete Slider Comparison

What is the final verdict (as of today) on who provides a slider with the most usable area for our feet when entering/exiting. (regardless of an actual 'step' being incorporated).
I'm guessing that it is between Man-a-Fre and Expedition One; yet I don't see either one touting this fact over all the others that aren't even close. (I'm talking a simple measurement from the sill edge to the outside tube in the door area).
Here's the answer to your question for the wide version of the Man-a-Fre sliders. They seem to be tapered a bit so they stick out further towards the back.

Towards the front of the front door: ~2.5"
In the area of the rear door: ~ 3"

Practically speaking, I don't think these will work very well as a step to get in and out of the FJ. For one thing, they are only about 2" below the level of the door sill, so they don't shorten the step-up height that much anyway. However, they work very well as a step to get up on to access the roof rack, which is one of the things I was looking for.

Hope this helps.

Dave
