    Your original post was 2 words. Maybe if you asked a legitimate question, you would get an answer. Way to join a forum (sarcasm).

    lots of folks just seek what's good & local, because shipping is a bitch. there are a ton of independent builders around here that can help you and go custom for great prices.

    Personally I would not have anything welded on my truck, even when the battery is removed and it is sitting 50' away.

    Bolt on allows removal for repainting, transfer to a new truck, to sell.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/rock-sliders-welded-or-bolt-on.336825/page-3#post-9250206

    I have been building and wheeling bolt on sliders for over 10 years, and seen dozens of rigs put them to the test.
    Obviously a proper fastening set up is just as important as a good weld, but rest assured when properly fastened a set of bolt-on sliders will take anything a set of weld-on sliders will.

    The only real difference is one can be installed with hand tools and removed with hand tools if desired, the other requires a welder and some extensive effort if you you want them removed.

    Someone else posted that bolt-on sliders (properly installed) are definitely NOT the weakest link....
