    What's to discuss? Whoever made them used shit materials and didn't put enough support behind the outer piece. Poor design and execution, or they got absolutely drilled by something they weren't intended to handle :notsure:

    Also, I don't see a dent on your truck so I wouldn't exactly say they failed...

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Look home made. Not enough support legs.

    Also judging by your fb picture with these, it was going to happen. You can't expect to pin yourself between two large rocks and not have something crumple

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    Says shrockworks in his sig. Looks like weak-sauce, wonder what size wall they use. I have taken some really hard impacts on my .188" wall, and they are fine.

    Looks like All Pro brand sliders.

    :rolleyes:I'd rather pay 300 bux to replace a slider than spend $8,000.00 in body damage to the cab. ASK ME HOW I KNOW

    His Tacoma got into a fight with a barrier and came out with quite a few battle scars and a hefty repair bill. Not sure sliders would have save it or not but they would have helped.

    Luckily there were sliders there! Sliders can easily be replaced.
