I'm interested in the sliders too. There's some info in the threads below:

I'm another happy customer who'd gladly recommend Brad's sliders - very well made and finished.
Only one very minor gripe was that the one under-sill fitting hole on either side did not line up - not a major issue as the 11 other holes lined up ok...
The instructions available in the thread are spot on.
Mated the sliders with a pair of D1 front mud flaps which fit perfectly and, while not looking too out of place, actually prevent the sides of my white 2014 D4 getting filthy - something that the OEM front mudflaps don't do.
Can post pics if anyone is interested.
Cheers,
RickO
Please do, I need to fit something that is more servicable than the OEM mud flaps that I currently have.
Thanks
Lou
I'd like to see some pics as well RickO when you get a moment if that's cool.
I to have Brads rock sliders on the D3, they are great and have saved me a couple of times, once from real bad damage when I slid down a slippery hill backwards and ended up parked on a rock on the slider. If The slider had not been there to stop the Disco I would have lost the back corner of the Disco into a bank that would have wrecked it.
I have been meaning to get a set for the D4 as well but have not as of yet, hopefully I won't regret that laxness this weekend when the D4 gets its first workout up around Lithgow. ... :angel:
Apology for the shotgun post but I'd thought I'd get of my ar$e and catchup with some posts:

They're fixed just using the crappy OEM screw plugs - so far so good.
The D1 mudflaps cost me about $40 from the UK and stop 99% of the muck thrown up by the front wheels
Hope this helps....

My sliders have taken a beating and have plenty of gouges and scapes, I did notice this dent in them too! (underneath not the scrape on the side)

In fact I've had to loosen the fixing bolts and move the sliders back down maybe 10mm on body, shows they are definitely worth the investment!
Hey Guppy, I reversed the mounts on my foxwing. It now sits down much better and doesn't look so silly sticking up in the air. I am 6'2" and I don't have any problems walking around under it when it is set up.
I have terrafirma sliders on my D3. They are subtle and neat and work well. Only issue was that if you have rear air you need to cut the i side lip of them down in the passenger side to allow room for the pipe work.
