HEY TW people! im building up my 3rd gen dclb cement and wondering... rock sliders? yay or nay? benefits? pros? cons?

yes i do off-road driving, yes sometimes there are bigger rocks.. not lifted yet but will be..

also, style points or nah?
also, feel free to chime in on steel/ alum bumpers front rear etc..

AAAANNNNDDD GO!!!

 

offroad + rocks = get sliders or you will be a sad panda

 

if you got the moola go for them, if you do not have the money buy some $100 use steps.

or if you are hard pressed on money, but still want to slide go weld on for about half what bolt on costs.

 

Yes for sliders! If you don't have someone local to weld them on then go bolt on. I prefer weld on but to each their own.
RCI makes some nice armor and bolt on sliders.

 

If you are building your truck to go offroad, I don't know why you wouldn't want sliders. One of the first things you should get.

I have the same truck along with the same question. Along with... wouldn’t my Predator step rails help to do the same, really??

 

You answered your own question.

Seriously, even if I didn't go off pavement, I think I would still get sliders. They cost around the same as side steps and offer way more protection. No brainer.

 

No.

They’ll crush like soda cans and destroy your body.

 

Brother just took his 18 OR 4x4 to the trials with me yesterday. From that experience I would say sliders would be one of the first if not the first upgrade you do.

 

Sliders for sure, especially without a lift. You want to protect your rocker panels. $700-$1000 investment for sliders vs. $1000+ rocker panel damage. Side steps won't do anything.

 

Yes sliders... they're not just for rocks. (Slid sideways into a tree going down a tight twisty snow covered trail last winter... when I didn't have my sliders on yet).

 

Sliders for sure. Bonus I got them on Saturday went to the store last night and found tan paint on my slider, someone’s door got fucked for being careless.

 

Wow thanks for the info.. now another question, do I have to get a Kicker? cause I like the look without.

 

It gives you a bit more protection

 

Get a kicker, it'll help with the incident you seen above.

 

Kicker = step for into the bed/topper/roof rack..also more protection.

 

My sliders with the kicker should be ready this week, got AVID Offroad sliders for the DCLB, if anything get them to protect against door dings

 

Love my Avids. Held up to a lot of shit..

 

Is Avid DOM or HREW?? Cause I want the Ultimate protection from door dings
