    RCI no top plates. They are far enough out to avoid most other doors. I have hit them fairly hard and they held great. Spray can bed liner so I can touch them up.

    Sorry to hi-jack the thread...I know I’m not very original, but I love these wheels. What size tires and lift are you running. I’m considering 3” lift and 255/80R17 on these wheels. Hoping there will be no rubbing. I’m coming from the wrangler world, have only had this taco 1 week. Still trying to figure it all out.

    I ran White Knuckles on my old Wrangler. They were great. Over big rock, down on slider, slide to the tire, back over rock. No damage. Used to push around trees and rocks in tight turns with no damage. Of course I had to touch up paint. Has anyone used those for their Tacoma. I was considering using them again, but looking for every one else’s experience.

    Haha, I feel kinda plain running the 4Runner Pro wheels nowadays, but thanks. These are 265/70r17. The lift is about 1.75".

    It's complicated.
    I ordered the same setup, albeit with a 5 degree rise, and without their powder coating. Did you buy the sliders w/ their powder coating done? How did it survive the shipping? Thanks.

    Yeah, I had them do the powder coating. The boxes arrived mostly intact. One (plastic-covered) slider was starting to peek out of his box. No scratches or dings to speak of. But it was clearly a rough ride from CO to Los Angeles.

    My bumper and skids all had scuff marks on them. It would be easier to touch up than paint, but you will be touching up a lot anyway. Even if you don't use them, they take a lot of rocks.

    Who's sliders stick out the furthest to the side? wondering which in theory would be best at door ding protection?

    Here we go again with the "door ding protection". Anyone who claims their sliders protect from door dings is basically spreading anecdotal myths. It's so subjective. Think about it. There are plenty, much taller vehicles than yours and can blast your door over your sliders no problem. Some doors on vehicles are tapered and come to a point right over your slider. Not every parking lot is perfectly flat and even smaller vehicles doors could sit higher than your sliders. There are staggered parking spaces where the door will contact way ahead or behind your sliders. Smaller cars can pull further ahead or leave their ass end out, putting your fender in "door ding" territory. That is still a door ding in my mind even if it's on your fender. Can sliders prevent a door ding? Sure! So can a tube step. It can be a bonus. But, sliders should not be marketed as "door ding protection". Way to many variables. What's next? Asking what sliders are best for run away shopping carts? It is ridiculous.
