Just installed Electrified Overland GTSlide gear tunnel shuttle

[Soju1]

I finally got my shipping notice, I should have it next week.

For those of you who installed there is already, how long did it take you? Is this a one person job or is it better with the helper?

I did mine on my own. But another set of hands to lift the thing would have been nice. Initial install was quick. Maybe an hour. Adjusting took me some time since I shimmed up one side and trying to get it dead center. I also wanted to put my trim pieces back so i took my time cutting it out. I spend in total about 2 hours.

I did mine in about an hour by myself. Installation is pretty easy, but aligning it perfectly is the hard part

What trim pieces need to be trimmed and how did you do it?

It’s the trim piece you remove to have access to the mounting holes. I used an oscillating multi tool to cut the trim. The video instruction goes over it.

Thanks for posting, I think this is the slide design I’m closest to pulling the trigger on.

I’ve seen other manufacturers have or are designing a way to unlock/open single-handedly.
Do you need two hands to unlock and slide it out or one?
Can you unlock it from either side?

You need two hands, but it can be modified for one hand by fastening a cable between the two levers and when you pull the cable it squeezes the levers.

Do you have a photo of this mod?

Any one have an idea as to keep the plastic guides underneath towards the center of the slide from hitting the tunnel door panel? It clears the latch but hits the door panel when you pull it out further ? Tired 1,2 and 3 washers and it still hits

I just kept adding washers until is stopped hitting

Might need to stack nuts at this point, the washers are not cutting it . About 1/2 inch or more to clear. Plastic support still hits . Thanks for the feedback
