Here's the details in my post - Slee Sliders. You'll see a picture of everything Slee sends (which is everything you need to install them.)
What kind of running boards / side steps are there available for the LC250?

Forget sliders, the factory running boards can be had for 200-300$ across the country. You will see them come up close to you on this forum.
They bolt right up, you will not be disappointed. Way too much after market pimping going on in this forum vs some superior factory parts. I like mine so much i bought a spare pair from a local fellow. Get the ones with the electrics prewired if you have the connecting side, otherwise it doesn't matter.
They are very strong, look great and will cost about 1k$ at the dealer NIB.

I'll put and oem boards if I were you.
There haven't been too many available in my area as of yet but I have these on order with a local installer. They're the Go Rhino Dominator D6 Running Boards. I don't have them installed yet for you to see but here is a photo from the manufacturer.

I have a friend with the Dissent sliders on their Grenadier. IMHO, I think the Slee are nicer (better look and better quality overall. I do like the Dissent ones, too.)
Look at rock sliders. Most of them are dual purpose now.
I like the look of the Slee sliders, but not sure what they were thinking with the taper towards the back wheel. I have sliders on my Taco, wheeled and used them. When they truly hit a rock, non-tapered will keep the vehicle just far enough from the rock that the wheel doesn't get destroyed. These look like a recipe for a flat tire/broken rim. Too bad, 'cause they look perfect otherwise.+
This is the view from the back forward. They still stick out a lot and still provides protection. There was just no way to make something esthetically pleasing by letting it run the full width to the back. It looked way out of balance with the front.
The strange things about all the new trucks is that the slider looks like it sticks out a lot when the doors are closed, yet when you open them they are not. Now when making a step you need enough so that one can properly step on it, hence the wider section in the middle. It has to do with how doors are shaped these days and the rocker panel is actually covered with a plastic cover.
We are just not huge fans of sliders with stick outs since more times than not I have seen people with heavy trucks actually get hung up against the stick out when it really matters and it stops forward movement.

I think the idea is that you won't be driving so fast that you'd be able brake a rim or pop a tire. As slow as possible as fast as necessary, right?
I ordered these and just installed them today. Installation was easy and they look great.
I was probably in the first group to order the Dissent sliders. I ordered them in early July and received them around the new year.
Unfortunately, right when I got them the weather turned really cold and then I got really busy with work, but that's all done now. So I should be able to install them sometime this week or weekend.
Hey Blue. How do like these? I'm looking for some now and haven't pulled the trigger, but like the look of these. Similar to the OEM I saw at the dealership, but they refuse to sell as an accessory. Thanks.
These have been great. Came packaged well and the installation was easy. All I had to do was simply bolt them on. I've done a few light trail runs and bottomed out on a small mud pit with these and they held up just fine. Been happy with the purchase.
Thanks very much, I appreciate the update.
