    Hello all.

    I have read through all 13 pages of the Gen 2 Sliders Sticky, yet I would still like to ask a set of very particular questions regarding rock sliders.

    I am looking to purchase a set of Rock Sliders for an Access Cab Tacoma. I live in the Midwest, and climbing over huge rocks is not something I face, but I really want the ability to use my HighJacker easily and without damaging the truck. I also don't want to weld, and I want the sliders to multi-task. With that in mind, I'd like to ask if anyone can unequivocally recommend a set of sliders, with or without kick out, that meets the requirements delineated below:

    1) Will allow a jack to lift both same-side wheels off the ground, without flexing sliders.

    2) 100% bolt on attachment.

    3) No drilling required.

    4) Nothing touches the rocker panel pinch weld.

    5) Top of slider pipe is at least one inch below pinch weld (to aid wife's entry).

    6) Outside of slider extends out past widest point of the door (to avoid door dings).

    Thank-you for taking the time to consider helping me out.

    Frank

    Bay Area Metal Fab makes a 100% bolt-on slider that fulfills all of your requirements. He can make the angle of the slider relative to the ground whatever you want so that your wife can get in. Check it out at bayareametalfab.com

    SOS. I'm pretty sure he can make them with no upward angle on the slider if you're going to use as a step. @EddyRRT

    Thank-you for your recommendations Gentleman.

    I looked at the web sites for both manufacturers, and I gotta say that BAMF gives a LOT more detail about how the sliders are constructed. SOS tells you nothing, and that worries me.

    Again, thanks........................... Frank
