    So, perusing Instagram, I happened across a set of sliders... I’ve never seen anything so, artsy? Any thoughts on the design?

    Looks kinda cool. I wonder if they would get hung up a lot, though.

    Yeah, there's a lot going on there. At $1575.00, powder coated & shipped (to my location), definitely one of the priciest options out there. I imagine those would be pretty heavy. There's no weight listed on Demello's site.

    So one of my friends has them on his Tacoma. They have held up very well. My main issue is that after meeting DeMello, he seemed like a jerk.

    They do look cool, but are bulky.

    Slee seem to have good looking sliders as well. But looks like they are out of stock. They looks like a step but a real slider.

    Yeah, not into those at all. Function over form.

    They look like they'd be unnecessarily heavy, and could catch on or dig in to things instead of slide.

    I can't give you a good report about them hanging up, cause the guy who has them just mashes the gas and slams over everything. That's why I said they have held up well. They have lived a rough life and still look good.
