Can you order the sliders without the running boards attached?

+1, I’d be primarily interested in the sliders for jacking, not rocking.

Not that I don't trust that EV Sportline is making these and will be shipping them (they aren't some random new vendor and plenty of people love their jack pucks and other accessories), but I feel like people should be aware that the image listed is a photoshop job and not an actual image of the running board on an R1T.

The exact same picture, sans running board, is featured on the product page for the wheels and if you look closely it's pretty clear the running board was added digitally.

So anyone who is buying purely based on the picture, take note that you're technically looking at a rendering, not a picture of the product installed on an R1T.

Is the payment on a preorder processed immediately or upon shipping?

Yeah, I would feel a lot more comfortable if I saw some real pictures of it installed and the installation instructions before I put in an order. How long is the introductory price honored for?

All good questions!

  • You're looking at the running boards.
  • The Sliders are attached to the frame, behind (inboard) the running boards.
  • The Slider option is something we weld together with the Running boards. The assembly bolts to the truck (no welding on the truck)
  • Structurally, the running boards are just that - they attach with brackets and provide a step.
  • The Sliders are a heavy duty frame rail attachment that bolts directly to the frame structure and protects when sliding over rocks, high-centering the truck, etc.
  • Neither product prohibits jacking. We have that covered for both Running boards and Sliders.
  • You cant jack up on the running boards
  • You can definitely jack up on the sliders
Definitely need photos of the sliders, specifically. Your description makes it sound like you can't rub the outboard portion of the step along a rock down the side of the truck. Just as important as taking a rock between the front/rear wheels along the slider, you need to be able to fall sideways into/along a rock. With the wheelbase as long as it is, this is a likely scenario on a tighter trail. A good example of this would be when Motor Trend took their test truck down Black Bear Pass. They didn't show the passenger side of the truck afterwards, but the line they took definitely dragged the passenger side along a large rock and likely did a decent amount of damage.

These look pretty nice, so please post photo's when available with doors opened and closed. Question - is the precision fitted bed mat just a rectangular mat, or does it extend around the wheel wells? Thanks
