Not sure if anyone sees this while we're still installing but how the hell do you get the "stick nuts" twisted to screw in the bolt?

I unfolded so that i had longer reach with them, I found it easier guiding them from the outside holes on the frame rail as well. Get it close, grab the bolt and washers. Twist it enough to get started then used the stick to push against the bolt. First one took some finesse but you'll be fine I think. I didn't have enough play when the stick part was folded on itself, FYI

Who's going to answer the question? Can the third hole be drilled after installation?
Yes. You can snug up the slider without drilling the third hole. The directions actually tell you to mount the slider with the first two and use the hole in the slider as a guide to drill into the frame.

Thanks. I feel like a Schmuck! Lol. Once I realized you are supposed to tweak that stick part, it was much easier. I think it took us a few hours. But we also ate pizza and drank beer so not sure how long the install took but was fairly easy the instructions aren't that clear but I got em done! I didn't drill the holes for the last bolt but that should be a breeze at this point. No pics yet but will post up when the sun returns.

So we're now a month out with zero communication from the vendor. Thats fun when you're purchasing a $600 item.

Can't say I'd really recommend the experience.

Have you tried calling them? I've gotten through immediately both times I've called...

They're HEAVY! lol. I think that includes the pallet as well. The local company that delivered mine pulled the box off the pallet before finally delivery to me. It's not too bad to move but I would definitely have a friend/not so willing spouse help. :like:

I'd say about 60lbs each. A lot of the weight in the shipment is the pallet and the dense foam they use for packaging. I would honestly try to get the box sealed to wherever you're installing them without opening it. If you have a hand truck they're not too bad to move. I used one of my skateboards at home to unload them into the garage. :rockon:

That would be me lol...I have a couple of moving dollys but not sure they'll have a lift gate to lower them to the ground...I'll have to hope the trucker will be patient enough for me to rip the packaging open and unload the slider one by one:fingerscrossed:

My driver was awesome and had a lift gate and a dolly and he brought it right inside the shop for me.
