LOD are as solid as they come, they are the best looking imho and they have steps built in for those vertically challenged people.

They attach to the frame in 10 different places per side. You need to drill and tap 7 of the 10 but that was actually pretty easy.

There is absolutely no comparision between the Purejeep and the Mopar in terms of strength.
LOD is frame mounted

Purejeep is tub mounted.

People will go back and forth on which one is stronger. They both will do the job. You just need to decide on Frame mount or tub mount

Well, my new LoD sliders are sitting in my garage after being delivered today, so I guess you know how I voted.

The vote with the wallet is the most important one. I am pretty impressed with the LoD middy bumper I have, I suspect I will be going LoD on the sliders as well.

I have the Mopar enhanced sliders because at the time, few companies had theirs shipping in any quantity, and the stealership made them part of the package deal.

They are quite effective....the few times I have been out, I know I have bashed them against rocks, and other than scuffing the coating...nary a bend.

That said, the spousal unit is vertically challenged, and I am wanting to go higher, so I am looking at replacing them with the LOD sliders here in the next month or so.

right that was a protype version, that mounted like the rubicon rockers. They never made anymore than a couple.


They never made a set that mounts to the frame. They mount to the bottom of the tub and the sides.

new version




prototype

I like the Hanson, LoD, and PJ. They are all very functional and look great.
