    Hey all, I just wanted to post about the company RCI Offroad. I learned that the company was located in Colorado so I called them and asked if I could come and visit and get some stuff. They said sure come down. Well after a bit of an adventure I found their shop. Will say Josh and crew were very friendly showed me around and the tools they used to create the product. Was very informative and fun. They were very accommodating to me. I order a set of sliders and left with the sliders and a full set of skids. Very nice quality and was very happy to support a Colorado company.

    Thank you RCI

    Do you need to know, or care?
    Nice!

    Those skid plates just bolt up? How about pricing?

    They bold easily up to the truck. I went with the aluminum version to keep the weight down. Pricing I would take look at their site.

    Would those sliders work on a DCLB?

    I do not think they make them for the long bed yet.

    Why would the length of the bed affect the length of the DC slider?

    The wheel base on the Dual Cab Long Bed is actually longer. DCSB Wheelbase is 127.4 and the DCLB Wheelbase is 140.6 so a bit more length from wheel to wheel.

    A lot. Check out my build page.
    RCI is the sh t!!! I will be placing orders throughout the year for powder coated aluminum skids. One set at a time and my whole truck will be armored by RCI. Great product, great guys.

    Got it, but I'm pretty sure the longer WB is in the back and the cab part is the same. Good to check, though.

    The extra length is in the bed. However, rock sliders go from wheel well to wheel well. Therefore, DCLB sliders are longer than DCSB sliders (because the long bed as that extra foot from back of cab to wheel well compared to short bed)

    NOTE: The sliders only cover the cab on the shortbed. They dont extend past the cab. But I agree that it may look funny on a DCLB.

    I just got my RCI skids delivered today. They are very nice! I went with the steel, no powder coat, I got all three.
    Primed and painted then today and plan on installing them this weekend.

    The FEB discount was nice. Covered the cost of shipping.
