    Thanks everyone for the orders! We pushed this a bit past the 15 people limit, but are glad so many people took advantage of the offer!


    Hey all, Daryl from @victory4x4 here.

    We just did a slight redesign of our Tacoma sliders (currently available for 2nd and 3rd gens) and figured why not do a group buy* for the newest version. The major change was switching from angled tubing to horizontal tubing so they are more effective as a step :thumbsup:

    Two ways to order:
    • Order online at www.victory4x4.com. We don't have a good way to calculate freight, so you will get a call back from our customer service team to get you that total. Freight runs $150-200.
    • Call your order in. 269-353-1184 ext 20. You will want to speak with Shiloh. She can figure out your freight cost. Customer pick-up is available, as well as installation. Shiloh can help with both of those.
    Lead time is going to be 3-4 weeks. We'll bust our butts to get these out ASAP so that you can get them installed!

    Installation is bolt-on. Does require drilling 2 optional holes on each side for major offroad use.

    Installation video:

    Beating on em (skip to 4:39 if you don't want to watch the whole vid)

    * We are not yet an official vendor, but this offer was OK'd by staff. See our prototyping threads for more info on our current offerings and customer service.
    We are the sister company of JcrOffroad who has been building Jeep armor for 15+ years. :thumbsup:

    One thing I didn't notice before buying a DCLB was how much more accessories cost for the extra length! Those look really great, and I would be down, but that price for long bed with shipping is about the same as a local company that I could pick up sliders from... good luck with the redesign and group buy!

    Freight in the truck world really kills it for a lot of people, and we get that. Most of our Jeep stuff can ship ground, which is WAY cheaper.
    You are lucky to have a good local company to make product for you!

    As far as the DCLB stuff, yeah it's not only added material cost of the finished product, but there tends to be more waste too, plus the extra length adds headaches in production. We try to make the upcharge minimal, however :thumbsup:

    I have to say, that is the cheapest price add-on for DCLB that I have seen anywhere I've looked! Good on you guys.

    We don't do a weld on at this time, no. We feel there is more than enough strength using bolts in this application.

    Thanks for the feedback! My concern isn't strength; living in the salt belt my concern is salt and dirt intrusion and entrapment.

    We are from Michigan, so we totally get it. Hasn't been an issue for us so far. You could also prep the frame with a good quality undercoating before you put the slider on :thumbsup:

    Any reason a little black silicone or rtv couldn't be used so the intrusion is minimized? Granted any sealant would need monitored and PM'ed down the road. Perhaps I'm thinking too critically.

    Either way, your service team was awesome on the phone and looking forward to visiting in a few weeks!

    You could toss some on there, but it usually just traps more water than it helps clear. If anything a coat of this or something similar before you install them.

    Then every year or so hit it with something like this. It should flow between the brackets.

    I have one of their rear bumpers and I have to say their customer service is fantastic.
    You won't be disappointed!

    @monkeyevil I am very interested but just a few questions. From the pictures on your site I just cant seem to get a good idea of how they look on the truck. From a few angles, like the up close corner shot, they look like the stick out far but on the side shot from far it does not look like it. I was trying to get an idea of how they look from some of your youtube videos but it seems like the truck had the old version of the sliders. Is there anyway to take some more pictures of the sliders from a few different angles? I just want to make sure they will look how I think they will. If you can, maybe like an angle from the back, front, and an angled picture but from a bit further then whats on the site now. Again, if its possible to be done I will really appreciate it. Im ready to pull the trigger and Im from Chicago area so I would drive up there and pick them up when ready. Thanks in advance and also great products, watched your truck climb rocks in Colorado on youtube and that thing is a beast

    Those are great, would you by any chance have a side shot, but from closer and from a bit if a higher angle, like eye height. Something like this pic but closer? Thanks again!!

    These are the best looking bolt on sliders I’ve seen. And I love your front bumper for the 3rd gen. Plus I loved the JCR stuff. I wanted everything they offered for my old cherokee. Ended up selling it before then. Then I got my first Tacoma!

    Tax season is upon us...
