RCI sliders are not full length

how is your truck damaged???

 

@CaliRaisedLed

The gray will be the DCSB & Acess Cab (Gray has aftermarket suspensions and larger tires) The white is the DCLB. The measurements don't lie.

 

Ever done Holcomb Creek? Didn’t think so.

I'm sure it's not, i wheel the piss out of my truck....going to moab tonight, and never once have I had or seen an issue with someone getting caught there.

RCI makes good stuff, the sliders will do fine. But you have to wheel to know

 

Agree with you.

OP, ill buy your “worthless” sliders.... $500 shipped?

 

Dude, I said I wasn’t as gnar! Crawling isn’t my thing. But that’s a staged Jeep route, no? One where they move obstacles around to make it challenging?

My question was how important the extra inch or two is. Clearly some people around here really need an extra inch or two....

 

Just 5” more on each side of the sliders will do.

 

I don't even know why I'm hopping in here, but I'm bored so here we are.

OP, that is the standard length for pretty much every slider on the market. Some may be a hair longer, but that's a negligible difference and won't have any real world effect.

I like to hwheel and have never had an issue with those areas.

My CaliRaised DCLB sliders....95"

 

That looks fun, but just watching that is making my left leg tired.

 

I like the sliders a lot. It just seems like there is no good reason NOT to have them 4" longer in the front and back. When you come down off a rock or log, I would prefer it transitions immediately from tire to slider vs. dropping into that gap. I think the risk is something getting hung up in there and preventing you from being able to back up or go forward.

I have 33.5 skinnies, unless you are running 37's or bigger I can't see how the extra length could interfere with suspension articulation or steering.

 

How is someone suppossed to research a problem on a product beofre they own it? Theres a whole thread about this problem going on rn.

Better yet, use the TW search function. Google pretty much provides only TW hits when searching anything Tacoma related.

 

deny deny deny and blame blame blame, that's how the internet likes it.
I'm still buying RCI sliders when I can make a road trip out of it.

 

I believe @Truck Brigade has free shipping and no tax collected on these... no road trip necessary.

OP where u located? Tryna get rid of those rci's?

 

If u were being objective, you'd agree that those pics are at least a bit misleading. I don't even have a dog in the fight so it doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

 

pics are just pics. OP misled himself.

 

I have a new set of RCI sliders for my Gen2 DCSB on my garage floor, I have to agree with the OP, after measuring them they are shorter than I expected. I disagree with the aggressive fan behavior, it shouldn't be an expected thing when ordering something sold as a sub-model specific accessory that you need to get measurements to have it properly fit your truck. I won't know HOW disappointed I am until I see them on my truck but I think full coverage of the body wheel well to wheel well was a reasonable expectation.
