Anyone currently using or have used LOD's Destroyer Series Rock Sliders?

I installed mine a few weeks ago and would highly recommend them for fit, finish and function. I did an install video but it is really very straightforward and special tools needed unless you drill the extra holes in front.

I really like mine and found a new use for the step this past weekend - when you’re high centered on a 30 degree incline and get out to figure out how to get off the boulder, the step really helped me get back into the Jeep, only I was stepping on the vertical portion of the step, not the horizontal portion!

The sliders are stout and work as sliders without taking away any ground clearance.

I ordered mine as bare metal and had them powder coated locally.

Can someone post a measurement from the bottom of the front door to the surface of the step?

Here you go.

For clarification photo is of top of rail and not standing surface of rail.

If you do any serious wheeling on rocks, don't get them. A buddy got them and they have since bent both the body panels in front of the front doors by getting pushed up into them.. I have the signature series and have beat the crap out of them with no issues.

Did he drill the optional holes? I had mine touch the body BEFORE drilling the additional holes but never since. It’s also critical to install the washers as spacers to push the slider away from the body at the front most hole. I’ve hit my rails a bunch, and never an issue since drilling the extra holes and adding the spacers

Here you go.

Thank you. Looks like a couple more inches down to the surface of the step so that will be close enough.

Mine are coming in a few to several weeks. Was wondering if anyone had to loosen the body bolts?
I watched LOD's install video and read through their instructions. They indicate you "may have to loosen".

Really hope I dont end up being one of the unlucky ones with a snapped bolt.

Have their signature one and no touchy the bolts.
Should be same set-up on yours.

I highly recommend utilizing a second set of hands. And a jack helps with holding the brunt of the weight, leaving you to do any wiggling needed to get past the body mount washers. It really didn't take much effort to circumvent the body mounts.

Here's a couple more taken from a lower position, to better show how they sit in relation to the body. That's something I had looked for, but all I could find were angle shots.

I like mine, went on easy. Haven't run them across any stumps or rocks yet. I do like how they protect the fenders from rocks and the step is handy for mounting kayaks on top.

Excellent. My cousin does plan to help me with a jack and stands so this is comforting to hear, thank you.

Looking for feedback on anyone currently using or has used in the past LOD's Destroyer Series Rock Sliders? They look awesome and are my first choice in a combo step/slider, just looking for some feedback on how well they work and how well have the fit and finish held up? Would greatly appreciate your input!

I just installed them today on a jlur and went with them for a few reasons: prevent rocks from hitting fender/hinge, reduce mud spray on side, help the 5'0" wife to get in and lets me use them to unfold RTT instead of the door jambs.

There was a small paint chip out of the box, nothing worried about. Install was easy, drilled all optional holes. Washers are a bit on the flimsy side, I'd buy bulkier ones if I was doing it again. I suggest adding thread locker on all bolts.

I'm a little disappointed in the final look as the original sliders are curved and these are straight so they made them taper out from front to back which looks weird to me right now. But I'm sure I'll just get used to it.

Do you have a photo to shown what you mean about them tapering out? I’m not sure I follow.
