Am shopping for sliders and the ones you have a top contender, except for concern expressed in another thread (RCI sliders review): " RCI did not supply a kit to mount the sliders on my Non-threaded frame and the shop had to come up with their own method which seemed less than ideal."

So... does your TRD OR have the threaded frame or did you find what RCI sent to be sufficient to overcome the non-threaded shortfall. (The RCI installation instructions are quite detailed (RCI Slider installation Guide) and I'm still trying to figure out if the hardware they send overcomes the lack of threaded holes.

Thanks for posting and thanks in advance for providing a bit more insight on your installation.

I ended up ordering the CaliRaised step edition sliders. I liked the RCIs but shipping cost was prohibitive. Cali has free shipping so the small price delta was overcome by a LOT.
But wanted to mention that after reviewing the very detailed RCI installation guide, they have an ingenious method for creating an anchor point on the backside of the frame for the bolts to thread into (different approach than the blind bolts that Cali sends). Appears to all be included in the hardware they send and instructions are clear about the approach if you have TRD OR without threaded holes (as I do). Perhaps the earlier review was before RCI figured out a solution (or the installers didn't bother to read the instructions:>)
