4th Gen. Slider Roundup
Okay. Now that a few different companies / individuals have started producing 4th gen. sliders, I thought maybe we could have people post their experiences here. So, if you have sliders on your 4th gen. - whether they bolted on or were welded on, please share your impressions/pictures/etc. here. Just thought it'd be a nice little collection of what's available.
the ones I know of are:
weld on:
Sonoran Steel
Demello
Stubbs
bolt on:
Hanna Quality
(Demello is working on some)

the only reason I started this thread is because I just thought it might be nice to have all the info on what 4th gen. sliders are available right here in one thread ... for ease of use when searching.

I love my Hanna sliders.
Here is a good thread on them.
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...=Hanna+sliders
FT really tested them out on the rocks and they never budged at any point.
It has saved my rocker panel once at Hollister going throught the frame twister I slid a bit and hit my passenger side pretty hard. I looked later and there wasn't even a scratch I could see on the sliders.
WHat I really like is tha fact they are really solid with a big square tube at the bottom and great mounts that gives you a slider that doesn't bend, flex or move at all.
I used them at Pismo to just Hi-Lift my front tire after I blew the bead. They work great with Wabbit's adapter.
Below a few pics.
Yeah FT actually brok some rock with it, we all though it was pretty funny.

I have Roger Brown (www.4crawler.com) sliders on my Taco (he makes them for non-XREAS 4-runners too, http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...derZ.shtml#T4R) and I've been very happy with them.
I like the look of the square tubing, which I think better matches the -'04 body styling. I also think the square tubing is more secure when you need to stand on it(using friends as mobile ballast, s/o uses then as running boards) and the front and rear kick-outs make excellent spots to stand while loading a roof-rack or working near the a-pillar of a lifted truck.
I had my sliders welded to my frame because, when your strength comes from the body seam, and thus the body mount bolts, you can only apply force verticly. I rather like the idea of being able to use my "outriggers" to help stabilize my vehicle if I'm too far over by running a strap to another vehicle, or even as additional low strength attachment points.
If I had someplace hosting my images I would post them however Roger Brown has an excellent site with many good photos - excepting 4th gen 4-runners.

I have the Hanna Quality sliders and I have to say the "Quality" in Hanna Quality is very apparent. Look at FirstToy’s pics for what they look like – my Runner is even the same color. These things are SOLID and don’t budge at all. They fit perfectly and look like they naturally belong on the truck.
I have XREAS and so have no choice but to go with bolt-on. Hanna’s bolt-on design is simple, clean, and leaves virtually nothing down below the frame to snag on rocks. I won’t post pics of the mounting because I don’t want anyone to steal his design, but I will say that the bolt-on design for the 4th-gen is different than that of the LC design. More elegant and improved, IMHO.
Another thing is the powder coating. Hanna sliders come powder coated (two or three stage, I believe). Do yourself a favor and get your sliders powder coated by a good shop. They’ll look a lot better and you can always touch up the bottom with black paint if it ever happens to get scraped.
If you’re looking for a SOLID slider that will protect your truck, you can’t go wrong with Hanna Quality.
