How well do those washers seem to be holding up? As there are more of them exposed with washers on the RH than the rounded head (seem somewhat countersunk?) on the Treks. Do the washers come right up or past the edge of the bolt heads?

Also, the transition right under the oilpan seems smoother and more gradual on the RH set.

I don't know it I would call them washers, their huge cone shaped bolt head protectors. The bolts heads are completely protected by them.

I ran for a bit without one and I had to file the bolt to get it to fit back in the socket. The washer/protector completely covers the bolt head even with a washer behind it. But like everything else if it's going over a lot of rocks it's gonna get pounded. Look at'em once in a while and if they're getting worn, replace'em. I'm going to be calling RH about that when I get back from vaca and I'll let y'all know.

Sliders:
So far from what people have posted here and on other threads the RH stuff seems to be mostly well built. I don't care for the fitment of the Sliders after PM'ing several users and seeing higher-res photos. Anything that mounts to a body panel should be tight and sealed OR not mounted, and then spaced away decently to let water/gunk away from the panel. So for sliders I'm still thinking the Treks, or ShrockWorks. I think I'll stay away from body-panel mounting sliders altogether.

Skids:
I'm going to PM RockYacht from Treks and ask some questions. Baring anything more negative than what I see with other products I'm looking at them for skids. And most likely for sliders. The short g/f won't like it, but it's not her ride.
