Metalcloak rock slider experience?

[Bowhunter]

Wanted to see if anyone had experience with using metalcloak’s sliders on rocks and how they hold up?

I’ve read JMT’s slider review threads at least 10-15 times at had decided to go a different way but right now they have a 10% off and free shipping

My largest reservation is that the bolts only go into the side of the tub, none from underneath per the instructions

 

[Jamison C]

I think @B00mb00m and @Irun have experience with them.

I will refrain from making any additional comments for fear of crucifixion and forum-societal shunning.

 

[Bowhunter]

Thanks for adding them

Not a big sale but $505 out the door (to my door) seems appealing. Sale is on until 6pm pacific time

Here’s Blaine’s input on what makes a good slider. Compare that to the MCs and decide for yourself.

Thanks, I’ve read almost every slider thread I could find and had decided on a different one but this sale caught my attention and figured I’d ask around because I haven’t see too many reviews on these MCs

Well then you see that the MC sacrifices coverage, attachment and clearance for starters. They might hold up for your use, they might not.

I went with the Genright’s as Savvy wasn’t available, and I wanted a step.

Good choice on the Genrights! Shipping cost is just holding me back on those

The shipping cost is crazy. You could wait till they offer free shipping, perhaps this upcoming Labor Day.

Yeah I’m only a state away and it was $$$. They have a rock sliders sale now, just need free shipping

Don't let price be your only guide. Points already made tell the story. Also, the integrated aspect sacrifices full wheel well to wheel well coverage. Given the weight, lack of bottom tie in bolts, reduced coverage, without their corners and fenders, best to look elsewhere.

10-4 thanks for the info

Metalcloak runs the 10% off free shipping sale at least once a month so I wouldn't rush. $500 bucks is still a chunk and it would be a shame to regret the purchase.

Good to know, I had wondered about that but I just recently signed up for their updates

I agree with @Irun. If you go with the MC's, go with the whole system. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

 

[Irun]

They might hold up for your use, they might not.

If you don't use them as a pivot point they hold up fine. If you do, the lack of bottom bolts allows the rockers to pull on the tub. That doesn't end well.

They fall very low on the list of good available sliders for our vehicle.

 

[PNW_LJ]

I’m perplexed as to why no one can get sliders right. Even with something as simple/logical as being wall to wall

There are some, but they choose not to sell them.

I've had mc slider and wheel with people who still do. They held up on all the rigs I've seen really well and haven't caused any issues.

Same, I have them now and wheel with others that do. I've not had any issues and they do get used.
