The 3rd Gen Slider Thread

Pelfreybilt rock sliders in textured black

 

From what I hear...no. Different mounting points

 

I'm speaking strictly of welding them not bolt on

 

Did some wheeling on the weekend and never have I ever wanted sliders so bad haha.

Im thinking of skipping the powder coating and using line-x instead to help with the cost of shipping. What do you guys think?

 

C4 Fab 3rd gen Tacoma with optional step plates. Bolt on for light use but drilling required for use with a hi lift. I drilled the holes and it was a pain in the butt.

How do you like them as steps?
I’m Really considering these for that reason.

 

Well they are sliders so they are going to be higher then a typical step/running board. So for example, if there is an elderly person that needs a step to get in and out of your truck, it’s not going to be helpful for them. That would go for all sliders though.

The reason I got them with the step plates is because I have little kids who’s feet and legs could slide right through regular slider bars when getting in and out. So they have worked well to prevent an accident like that. It’s also nice to have them as a step when setting up my rooftop tent and for washing the top of the cab. I could see them being helpful if you have a roof rack.

Overall I’m not a fan of the step plate look but these C4 step plates are far and away better in appearance than any other fabricator I’ve seen.

 

Are these 0*, 10*, or 20*? Why does the angle matter? Or is it personal preference?

 

20 and it's personal preference the closer to 0 you are the better step it becomes.

 

Are those the "Standard" 20 Degree sliders? Or 5 Degree?

 

RCI only had one when I bought, I'd guess they're 20 deg.

 

@Joshp767 - Are these the "Standard" 20 degree sliders? TIA!

 

I was one of the earliest 3rd gens to buy sliders from him, so I'll say yes since they are the original ones

Personally I hate "flat" sliders, and these definitely kick up and are nice and tight to the body.

 

Yessir, I assume they are. I just wanted to get confirmation before I pull the trigger. I like how tight they are to the body.

My brand new truck and people insist on parking like A-holes next to me in the parking-lot-middle-of-nowhere. At a minimum this should help protect me from door dings


Thanks again!

 

No prob!

 

Pulled the trigger on a set of RCI sliders (and skids). Super-excited. Thanks for the help Tim and Jeff!

 

Those would be the 20* sliders. The 5* would be essentially flat. Better utilized as a step.-Tim

 

Thanks for all the good info. I may have to pull the trigger on the RCI's... Is the 5* much better as a step than the 20*? I think I like the look of the 20* better. Anybody have pictures of the 5* RCI sliders?

 

5 degree works better as a step. The 20 degree will give you about a inch from the slider to the rocker panel

 

So maybe I'm asking the wrong question. If the 5 deg. sliders are better as a step and the vehicle protection is basically the same for the 5 and 20 deg. sliders why would anyone get the 20 deg. sliders? What's the benefit to the 20 deg. sliders? Also, when you guys install the RCI's are you drilling the frame and using the bottom bolts? Are they still solid enough to use with a hi-lift even without those bottom bolts? Thanks
