LOD destroyer sliders

[WrongWheelDrive]

They are drop shipped from LOD and LOD shows them available on their site now so I'm assuming they should be shipping soon.

Northridge invoice says "Drop shipped from manufacturer".

so hopefully LOD has them in stock.

Wait, they said they’re available but have a 60-90 day lead time? I paid Northridge over $700 for these things a few months back.

Were the ones you purchased body mounted?

 

[lodoffroad]

Did they give a shipping lead time other than 60-90 days?

60 - 90 sounds a bit ridiculous. We will try to get them to you faster than that for sure

We put 60-90 on those as we had not seen our first delivery of them yet. Once they start shipping out we put in the average time it takes to ship.

Not sure. Didn’t realize there was a difference.

A few months back the frame-mounted ones were still in development so it was most likely the body-mounted ones.

What is the ETA of these? I assumed when the status became available on your web site they were ready to go.

Am I correct to assume that I will not need to remove the body bolts for this install?

Is it confirmed these will fit the 2019 as well?

According to the installation instructions the body bolts are not removed or even loosened, only the two smaller bolts that hold the body mount bushing. This played a big factor in my decision due to reports of people who broke those bolts installing other steps/sliders so I ordered the lod destroyers last night.

There's a youtube video of installation of the lod signature sliders and he does loosen the body bolts in order to push the washer out of the way to get the lod mount to clear the washer. I'm really hoping that isn't necessary when I do my install.

This is exactly my line of thinking,...I dont want to pay anyone for the install, but those body bolts make me nervous

This is the same thought process I went through. I’m more than willing to drill the additional holes, but those body mount bolts I want nothing to do with. Aside from the JL issues with people breaking the bolts, I believe LOD on the JK version originally specified the wrong torque for the body mount bolts and people over torqued and damaged the body. I think LOD is motivated to not touch the body mounts as well!

You should not remove the body bolts to install the sliders. The Destroyer sliders mount to the frame just like Threeve mentioned above, using the two side bolts adjacent to the body bolt. These mount exactly the same as our Signature Series sliders. However it can be tricky to line up the mounts with the washers if your doing it by yourself, two people make it significantly easier.

As for lead time, we have a huge batch currently in packaging... All depends where you are in line. With more sliders becoming available every few days, it shouldn't take too long.

As for fitting on a 2019...as long as they didn't change the frame!
