best rock sliders for 16 tacoma?

hey, do you guys recommend somehow treating the frame for rust before putting the sliders on or is that a non issue?

 

I didn't, didn't really think about it

 

The paint that is already on the frame of the truck should hold up just fine.

 

I should probably get rust that is already on there off though.....

 

First of all, good on you for doing research first. I bought sliders before coming here, and they ended up being a pain.

From what I've read here @Mobtown Offroad has some of the best around.

I would also recommend RCI. I have their skid plate and can only imagine their sliders being built to the same quality and standard.

 

Mobtown. DOM standard and wraps around frame with what i believe has the most connecting hardware running through sliders and frame.

 

Mobtown has my vote

 

That last pic is one to hold on to.

 

yup, the little shit is growing up way to fast.

 

Mine too haha

 

Just installed mine! @RelentlessFab with a custom fill plate pattern.

Now, what did you guys do to mount this, sliders block original position:



AND LAST!

Just realized, @RelentlessFab , Are these washers bare or were they coated with something? Otherwise i'm going to have to take em off and paint them or something. what do you guys think?

 

I did the AllPros through the TW group buy a little while ago. Came raw steel, primed and coated myself. Install was relatively easy and happy with them.

 

Shmell Fab Sliders great price's with installation! He doesnt ship but you save a ton of money if you can go to him!

 

Nice. I'm generally not a fan of kickouts but I like the geometry of those, and the overall look. I approve of your decision to weld over bolt on. I probably won't on this new of a truck, but it's cool as hell.

 

Mobtown or pelfreybuilt sliders? BAMF are WAY to expensive for a similar slider.

 

Mobtown

Haha

Just an FYI, slider lead times are 4-6 weeks depending on options.

 

I am leaning toward yours. Price seems reasonable and looks good as well.

 

Where are you seeing BAMF being too expensive? I just priced out BAMF for 80", DOM, w/kickout, bolt on, and powder coated and the price is $835.00. Same configuration from Mobtown is $799. So the $36 difference makes it WAY to expensive?!

 

$1210 for a 16 DC short bed, with kick out, DOM, power coat, and filler plate.

 

I'm seeing $1050 for the configuration you stated above on the BAMF site. adding the fill plate onto Mobtown makes theirs $949. So only a $101 difference
