Are there any affordable rock sliders out there (under say $400 or so)?

I always used sliders on my Jeeps and while I plan on wheeling the Taco a bit, it won't be anything heavy duty since its my daily as well. I have spent hours on the web trying to find something that will give me some offroad protection and hopefully offer t least something to put a foot on when my wife and kids get in and out. I don't need a big step, even slider bars are fine, just something. Has to be bolt on as well. Anybody have an idea on this or do I just go with something like the N-Fab nerf bar and drive very carefully when wheeling (kinda takes some of the fun out htough!). I swear its like trying to locate a Sasquatch!

 

Only thing you are going to find for that price will be weld on, or maybe some take offs, but I doubt it this early in the game with the 3rd gens.

Don't run factory or aftermarket steps off-road because they bolt into the body, and the idea is to protect the body and not smash it.

 

check out SOS Concepts, Charelston SC. shipping adds a good bit, maybe find a local, where you located ?

 

@iridebikes

I went with a set of Pelfreybilt sliders and yes they are over $500 but I just had to suck it up, as your not going find a decent set new for less and if you do then I would honestly question the quality.

 

that's exactly my fear. better off with nothing than bolting to the frame imo.

 

Our bolt on sliders bare steel with the tw discount come out to $414 plus shipping

FIFY

 

Those don't seem unreasonable. Question though, I have a DCLB and i see they have product listed for both DC and DCLB. Can't figure out what the bed has to do with rocker sliders...

 

yeah, thats important, DCSB = Access cab, DCLB are longer a bit

 

[QUOTE="SargeBSLOVE the look of those. Expensive for sure but like I mentioned... affordable is the Sasquatch of the armor world!

 

Thanks, checking them out!

 

Now that i see you have a DCLB you would want these. http://bayareametalfab.3dcartstores.com/2005-to-2017-Toyota-Tacoma-96-Sliders-DCLB_p_8.html

 

what about 4xInnovations?

 

Thanks, look nice for sure. I may ask a local guy about welding them and see what he says.

 

Thanks!

 

yuP! I was going to recommend them too

They're a weld-on kit but for the price you could probably pay someone local to weld them up for you if you don't have a welder and still be under the $400 price point. Just and idea...

 

Best bet is do some back scratching at a local fabricator.

 

I only see weld on.
