They look better than the toyo ones for sure..looks like you can use as a step.

What did that run?

Bentup.com are close friends of mine...so the price was right.

These will soon be available for about $300-350 for the pair, minus shipping.

Re: New FJ....and custom sliders

WOW great deal !!

can you step on them?....wondering if they also might make it easier for my 6 year old to climb up, besides the body protection

Can you step on them......YES.

Here is AJ (bentup.com) standing on the slider as I attempted to flex it out...

EDIT: pics didnt link up....hmmm.

Didn't flex too well, the swaybars limited it a lot. Gotta look into some disconnects for it.

Re: New FJ....and custom sliders

Those are awesome!!! I've already emailed AJ asking if he can hook me up. I'm canceling my order on those stock sliders as soon as I hear from him. Now if you could just get him to hook you up w/ bumpers you'll be rockin' ready!!!

When you have a chance can you explain this one....or anyone.

why do the sliders need to flex?

excuse my ignorance

Re: New FJ....and custom sliders

so saying that if you hit a rock the suspension will not give enough?

If it doesn't then what happens?

A tire might lift off the ground, like in the pictures.
