Looking to pull the trigger on either the Weistec/DCE or Megawatt sliders. The megawatt kick out seems great, but I noticed it blocks the factory jack point. Will that be a problem if the truck needs work at a service center?

Also I love the bed cap @LivingInKaos ! Please hit me up as soon as you have any production timeline - happy to beta test. This is exactly what I'm looking for on my truck.

Megawatt are great for me. Just installed, super beefy and look great with lines of truck as well as the kickout function when on rocks.

Well packaged and while delayed great communication the whole time.

Thanks @electruck4x4

Super easy once you figure it out. 2nd side took less than 45 minutes. Popping panels is about 10 to 15. Videos out there make that pretty easy, just take time with screw driver on clips.

Remove 6 17 mm bolts, electric rachet makes quick work of them, just line up sliders to know correct ones. Use a decent breaker bar socket wrench with the torx bit provided on about 7 bolts. Don't remove let them hang. Hang sliders and then torque all bolts to appropriate values.

Removing the side plastics was probably the hardest part. With those off, it's a matter of loosening a handful of bolts, loosely adding a handful, sliding the sliders onto the loosened bolts, torque them down and whala. I've had mine on since April (og style with holes instead of slots) and they have been just wonderful.

I’d say the RMaxx are the best selling, volume wise. But that’s just a guess based on the number of folks discussing back order of their product in the RMaxx thread.

I was one that had both the RMaxx and Megawatt sliders on pre-order. Ended up receiving both around same time and elected to keep the Megawatts and sold the RMaxx (never installed). Primary reasons were the kickout and weight, Megawatt sliders were roughly 80 lbs lighter compared to the RMaxx ones. RMaxx has since changed their design so it’s one piece on each side vs the old 2 piece design, so not sure how that impacted weight.

I like the megawatt with the kickout design, but really wish they would also have the full panel/plate coverage like the Rmaxx. That would be the ultimate setup for me.
