    Whether you're navigating tight rock gardens or just need a solid step into your lifted rig, Cali Raised LED rock sliders are built to take abuse and look good doing it. These are 100% bolt-on sliders for 2005–2023 Tacomas, trail-tested and built in the USA with options for every use case—from hardcore crawling to daily driving.

    Two Styles, Same Strength:
    • Step Edition Rock Sliders
      Designed for function and form. These sliders give you real protection plus a flat step surface for easy cab access. Great for lifted builds or family rigs.
      • Dimple die plates for traction

      • Still trail-capable with optional kick-out

      • Ideal mix of off-road protection and everyday use
    • Trail Edition Rock Sliders
      No step, no fluff—just clearance and coverage where it matters. Built for technical terrain and max breakover angle.
      • Angled tubing with welded end caps

      • 1.75” DOM .120 wall tubing

      • Perfect for crawling or overland builds
    Why These Sliders Are Worth It:
    • Bolt-on fit for all 2nd and 3rd Gen Tacomas

    • Optional kick-out for extra side and quarter panel protection

    • Choose raw or powder coated

    • Hand-built in Fort Worth, TX

    • Body lift and long bed compatible options available

    • Full frame contact with 0.25” thick mounting plates
    How do they compare to weld-on sliders?
    These sliders are bolt-on but use heavy-duty gusseted mounts for strength you’d expect from a weld-on. Plus, you can transfer them to a new truck or remove for frame access—no torch needed.

    Which is better for overlanding?
    Go with the Step Edition if you’re using a rooftop tent or have passengers hopping in and out at camp. Still fully trail-rated with real rock protection.

    More Info?
    Check out our guide on Tacoma rock slider options and how to choose between kick-out vs. no kick-out, trail vs. step, and steel vs. aluminum.


    If you’re building your Tacoma for serious trails or want everyday functionality without sacrificing strength, check out the Cali Raised LED rock sliders—offered in Trail and Step editions to match your needs.

    Man those step rock slider with the dimple plate are perfect for my taste. Do you powder coat in flat black or gloss?

    On our sliders for powder coat, we offer them at Flat Black.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks

    These look great!

    How heavy are a set of the DCLB with filler plates (bolt on)? Also where is the origin of the DOM tubing, is it American steel? Where are these manufactured?

    Our DCLB weigh about 150 lb for the set. All of our steel is American steel and all manufactured by our fabrication shop in Benua Park, California. Here’s Joey today working hard to get some sliders done! :thumbsup:

    Awesome! Good to know. What is your warranty on the sliders?

    There is no warranty on our sliders. But if there is any problem due to a manufacturing defect you will be taken care of.

    Ok thanks. Also these are designed to hold the entire weight of the truck on either slider correct? Or to use as a hi lift mounting point?

    I guess a follow up to this question would be: How much testing have you done with dropping the truck on the sliders?
    Thanks for your info! It always helps to have a lot of details on a new product like this.

    They are designed to hold the entire weight of the truck and for a hi lift mounting point and we have done LOTS of testing on our sliders. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Thanks

    Too few to list.
    I'm super impressed with that turn around time. You guys definitely 1 up everyone else with that. Quality looking work as well and right in my own backyard! Currently just Tacoma's right now or will there be one for a 5th Gen 4Runner?
