In my (limited) experience with it as bed liners, it is good for grip both dry and wet. In my (extensive) experience with it on chassis, it is also quite good at resisting stone chips. So, given that the sliders will be in the firing line of any debris, it could provide grip on the top and chip protection everywhere else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put this on the tubular parts of my tree sliders nearly 3 years ago and it has stayed on and worked well. Put the same on the 110 I just rebuilt as it works so well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
