Rocky road nightmare

Wrap that sucker in some cardboard and ship it back.

 

I have RRO Super Sliders on my 2018 Diesel Colorado and they have been amazing. They use a similar system to the style used for the Taco, bolting to the frame and also the pinch weld. I've put over 70k miles on those things with plenty of running out in the Mojave and I've had zero issues with them. They are incredibly solid and they've helped my off-road limo (crew cab and long bed) survive some jeep tracks it had no business being on. They've held the weight of the truck on rocks and with the hi-lift. I plan on installing them on my new 2022 TRD OR when it shows up in a few weeks.

 

If you want them high and tight I highly recommend Cali Raised - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-bolt-on-sliders.556121/page-35#post-26632487

I've beat mine pretty hard. The mounts are extremely strong. I'll be welding them on eventually, but want to box the frame first. This was a good intermediary.
