    Love my sliders but when installing them a lot of the holes were off. Took me a lot more work to grind out the holes so the bolts would line up.

    I just semi-successfully installed the sliders. They look awesome! But if you follow the instructions, you’re left with 4 of the big T55 bolts unused. Then you realize two of them go on the front eyes, but you’ll inevitably have to loosen everything to align them. Then you’ll see you could’ve used the final two (which came from the brackets), but it’s too late now. Oh well.

    Installation has slight variances for R1S. Here is my feedback: 1). All torx screws are reused. When you take off the torx for the triangle bracket, put the torx back in with half inch gap. 2). No extra screws provided or needed. 3). Leave the 6th hex bolt and remove the 7th hex bolt. Leave the last hex bolt near the rear wheel in place. 4). Open the front and rear doors to make the slide into place easier. You also get a good view of the tight fit on top. 5). Two people to slide the rock slider on make the job much easier. 6). The impact wrench is a must. If you have a 1/2 inch impact wrench, then you need the 3/8 adapter for the provided T55.

    Piggybacking on your comment. Things i learned installing on R1S: 1) outside of the first 2 T55s, all of the T55 torx will be used to hang the rock slider during installation, which means you should reinsert the bracket ones after removing the bracket 2) if solo installing, i used a box to rest the slider on and slid it under my R1S, and with both doors open you can see the T55s hanging so it was easy to mount/hang them

    @@Bahndit ah yeah I reached out after I posted here, and they let me know that only early models had those holes, so you can safely skip them. Once you get the clip rails and such removed it becomes pretty obvious where everything goes. One hint I can give you is to put blue tape on the specific bolts it mentions you don’t need to remove. That way you don’t remove them and leave one next to them and then you can’t slide the rock sliders on. Made that mistake on the first one. :)

    @@directcurrentengineering9023 But it’s the wrong way to jump any vehicle. And here’s why: any given 12V accessory or light or anything is behind a fuse and/or a relay. You can run a relatively low amperage trickle charger though any accessory or other 12V device (usually) because the amperage is low. But connecting a battery directly to a 12V accessory port may drive amperage greater than the circuit allows. That tow harness wasn’t designed for jumping. And it’s harder to do than accessing the two leads designed for jumping that are right next to it. Other cars have this feature/workaround as well. I wouldn’t defend this as another way to do something. People out there could potentially cause issues with their trucks because they “saw it on KZread”
