Show me your Sliders.....What have ya?

As much fun as it is building a truck, it's just as fun SELECTING what components you'll be using. OK....I just started working on my most recent addition, a 2011 DCSB Tacoma. Got it lifted. Will be doing tires soon. I already know which way I'm going with that. So...Next unknown is what brand/style of sliders I'm looking for. Show me what you have, what you think of them, and if you had it to do over, would you do the same thing? For some unusual reason, not many of the Tacomas prowling the streets around these parts have 'em. Most of the hard core off roaders have home made ones that just don't strike my fancy. Let's see what ya got!

 

Love showing off my SOS bolt on sliders @EddyRRT

EZ Bolt on instal, weld on available too, with kick or without.

 

SOS Concepts makes some good stuff.

Nice 15° angle makes them useful as steps.


The bolt-ons are sturdy as hell. Make sure to use Grade 8 bolts.


Also protects your doors from shitty parkers.

And, yes, they get used:

 

What are the specs on the yellow light bar, i likey

 

SOS.... Gotta keep them in mind. I like the clean look.

As this thread goes along, I'd like input on bolt on vs weld on. I tend to like the idea of bolt on.

Bash Fabrication (weld on).....he has bolt on also.....https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bashfab-bolt-on-rock-sliders.337170/

I had these made almost double the size of an average slider......

U will likely NEVER see a set for sale (new)...... The guy bailed on many users here. Thankfully I showed up at his house.

 

Demelo bolt on.

I used the supplied grade 8 hardware, no issues lifting the truck by the sliders.

 

DeMello Off-road, Bolt on

 

And only some offer 100% bolt-on.

 

I have trailgear. They stick out pretty far and have held up, but I haven't liked them after installing them. They just looked weird to me. They stick out nearly flat and its a pretty big sidestep to avoid them getting in and out of the truck. (I don't care about my pants getting a small dirt stain on the leg, but my sister in law hates it) But I didn't have patience to wait for a quality product and those were available. If I had a second chance I would have went with SOS and gladly waited.

I love these sliders and I'd buy them again, though I'd probably just get the weld on version and save some cash.
