4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
I'm kind of confused, you say 299 for sliders, which I see on the website for over 400 bucks, not including powdercoat. I also see the front bumper on the comparison thread listing at 599, are these prices accurate? Is the website wrong or are you wrong? Who do I believe?!
the sliders shown on Demello's site are their original sliders. they've got square tubing to make them a bit stronger. the sliders in this thread are the new sliders made out of round tubing. they are not as heavy duty as the original sliders, but they are still plenty trail worthy. the new sliders are also cheaper than the original sliders.
sorry you wont see them today, i cant make todays run
but here are the pics
I do have a question for DeMello and any others running sliders, the picture that shows the break line running over that triangle shaped support bar, do i need to worry about that line rubbing on that metal, its pretty snug?
the install was easy, holes lined up pertectly, all hardware was included, packaging was great, the powder coat looks great, i am very pleased!

Thanks DeMello!
I just installed mine. I swapped the two ebrake brackets, using the front on the rear and vice versa. It took some adjusting, and then I hammered the larger bracket (now the front) until I reshaped it enough for it to allow the line to clear the slider by 1/8".
Seemed to work. Someone should develop some nice relocating brackets...they are too low anyways. Vendors?

I left mine as is, the line over the mounts. I did not see any pinching or crinkle in the line. I know other sliders have you move the lines but I did not see a need for it. I may be wrong.

Remember that vibrations will cause that line to wear a hole eventually. Maybe not for a while, as it is secure, but it still could. Ebrake cables are very expensive. I would really prefer a good solid solution, of which I plan to make as soon as I am not flying around the country all week.
I personally strongly suggest trying to get the cable off of the gusset, but what a person does with their rig is their problem!
After I get back, I can post some pics of what I did to mine, if anyone's interested. I'll be back this weekend.
