Apex rock sliders

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with the Apex rock sliders? Which option would be better 0 degree or 25 degree? Looking to order soon.

 

If its who i think it is, then you have no worries. Quality work.
0 degree is flat almost like a running board.
25 degrees tucks it up and towards the rocker panel.
O degree = best door ding protection
25 degree = less protection

 

Cool thank you. 25 degree better protection for sliding on rocks (objects)?

 

The idea with angling the sliders upward is when you come down on a rock or ledge onto the slider, you don't get hung up on it like a 0˚ angle might...rather its more likely to push you off the rock while still protecting your body panels. Kind of like how a slider kickout helps you pivot around obstacles that you run the slider up against.

 

Thank you.

 

Granted I don’t have the sliders you’re asking about but I prefer the angled over 0°. I think @eon_blue covered it pretty well. With the angled you’ll still get protection away from the rockers/door dings because it still protrudes out. I’ve got 20° on my 2nd gen RC but I think you can get an idea.

 

This^^^^.. and if you have a long bed, the kick out at the end is extremely helpful. A step up into the bed as well as push you away from potential damage. Until you need a high clearance rear bumper.
Different brand.... but 20 degrees with kick out. As you can see, I found a angry rock that missed the slider.

 

Much better example, I tried at least haha

 

Thank you Taco505. Maybe we could meet up sometime so I check out your if your in Albuquerque.

 

Definitely, check out the NM thread we have a monthly meet to get together and BS the next one is on the 4th. You can check out my sliders and a few other guys that show up have some too on their DCSB - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/new-mexico-owners-bs-thread.32579/page-1603#post-25164331
