I suppose you get what you pay for... My non pro-speed ones have seen better days, I'm considering getting them line-x'd to hopefully improve the aesthetics

I'm not sure if my sliders are Prospeed or not, but Prospeed did the refurb on them just before I fitted them.

Robbie, yours look like a certain other make. All they needed was a descent powder-coat, which ProSpeed do very well Thumbs Up

They do indeed have that other manufacturer look about them, but with slightly better welds than I have seen on the alternative make. Perhaps Prospeed gave them a good tidy-up before powder-coating.

Had SWMBO's Line-X'd 8 months back, look like new still when clean, well worth doing.

They hold the muck & dust a bit but tough as old boots

I'm also hoping to get some but have mailed a couple of times and had no response.

Was hoping for a GB deal or similar plus was waiting to hear when they have the step insert in stock.

What he said.

They are amazingly strong yet not that heavy. I've lost count of the times I've been parked up in a car park when the driver in the car next to me decides to fling their door open only to crash in to the tree sliders. They are worth it just for the smug feeling you get watching the look on their faces when you start laughing.

I like the look of these.

How easy are they to fit? I assume since you don't need to drill anything, Discos have threaded holes for these to simply bolt in to?? Don't suppose anyone has any photos them being installed?
