    Whatever is closest. See if any vendors are within driving distance because shipping sucks.

    I'm a fan of my 4XInnovations sliders. I have the DOM tubing, round main, weld on. Not really used them much yet, but I pivoted a tree once!

    If you are planning to wheel your truck really hard, weld-on is a better choice.

    SOS aswell. I ordered there bolt on sliders. Haven’t received them yet but can’t wait. Seen them in Person on a few rigs and they look and feel amazing and sturdy!

    I bought some Avid bolt ons (cab bolt ons) and converted them to weld on. Love them and the pricing was great. If I could do it over again, I would go BAMF personally.

    That said, go with whomever is local and go weld on if you plan on them taking a beating.

    I have BAMF bolt on sliders and they are stout. Someone hit one in a parking place, pushed the front of the truck about six inches sideways and there was no damage other than it scraped the Rino lining off the slider.

    I will say, due to shipping costs, it's best to select a vendor that's as close to you as possible. I didn't heed this advice and had a pretty stiff shipping charge from Cali to Florida.

    these are body mount steps, that look like sliders. just to point out the obvious. if the OP wants steps, these are a viable option, but are not sliders. Sliders are frame mounted and can take a hit and you can hi-lift the truck from sliders.

    Those aren't sliders. Those are steps.
    They mount into the rocker/body and will rip your shit a new one if they get any amount of forced applied. More or less.

    I wanted those, too, because cheap. Got slapped with the knowledge real quick.

    I have RCI bolt on sliders. Great quality, very strong, and their customer service is top notch. They are a vender on here as well.

    I have beat the piss out of several of my Jeeps & my FZJ80 w/bolt on sliders & they never budged one bit. Harder than I'll ever be able to beat on this IFS. Is it different w/a Tacoma? I doubt it is but I thought I'd ask.
