I think I saw , either on discoweb or pirate, someone who made his own sliders and posted what he used, dimensions and the instalation. I am interested in sliders but don't like any of the current designs.(rovertym, Mantec, $guard, DAP, AB or BA?)Yuo get the point. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tim

Good question Al. Anon, you just mentioned some of the best companies. Is this a money issue? if it is thats understandable. $400-600 for sliders is steep, but they have some of the best designs.

That was the link I was looking for, thanks Neal. I think that the doors need to be protected more, I'll try to use the info on the hidden sliders and add the door protection I want. Most of the designs don't do that. I know that Rovertym has good door protection but I don't like the way they look. If I'm going to pay some $500 for something as non glorious as sliders they better look good. I bought a Disco because I had a Jeep. I'm not going to pay to make it look like one. Thanks everybody for the responce.

If you're looking for stealth sliders just get the RoverTym sliders without the 4" step as I did. Personally I didn't want the step because I think it's just a bad idea for sliders that aren't bolted to the frame since the extra 4" works like a lever and twists the slider on the aluminium sill. But then again if I had the 4" on the side I wouldn't have tagged the door with that stump.

Dean Brown made his own sliders. Maybe the same as the link above.
