RRW Bolt-On Rock Sliders | 2016 - 2019 Toyota Tacoma (DCSB & DCLB) | Promo Code: SlidersRH

Yeah, I should have mentioned that I did the drilling just because. They were solid before. No movement with me standing on them at all.

 

Even without drilling, they're still advertised as being strong enough to use as a hi-lift point. So they're most definitely strong enough to stand on

 

Waiting for manufacture to make the first one so we can test it on! Should be ready soon!

 

Hello Everyone!

Called in today and was told that the powder coating should be done Wednesday and we will pack and ship them out when they get back to the shop! I'll update you guys again on Wednesday.

 

You buy a beta release, you get a beta release. Don't complain, provide constructive feedback.

 

Oh sorry. Forgot we need to worry about everyone’s feelings on how “constructive feedback” is provided.

Oh, I'm sorry I missed the paragraph in this page https://www.***********************...products/toyota-tacoma-2016-2019-rock-sliders

where it says "This product is experimental and unfinished and may come with poor finish quality and no instructions, buy at your own risk".

 

How hard can these really be to install? I'm deployed and mine are waiting for me when I get home. I've never installed sliders before but I feel like I could write the instructions right now...

1. Line up holes in slider with holes in frame.
2. Insert bolts into holes and attach nuts
3. Monkey that shit down tight and go crush rocks.

Am I missing something? I'm the guy that always threw away the Legos instructions and built whatever the hell I wanted that kinda resembled the picture on the box, so it's very possible that I'm missing something.

 

I bought a

That is awesome! Add this link to ensure proper torque applied and the install doc is complete!

Yeah, I also don’t understand the need for instructions. I installed sliders, winch bumpers and rear bumpers on my Jeep XJ without instructions and I had to drill for those sliders. It’s not rocket science.

 

Got mine in and installed, see for yourself. They are pretty nice, definitely for the price, thanks Ray. Overall mounting them was fairly straightforward, but did have small hiccup, I'll explain: when drilling in bottom of frame for one of holes my drill bit broke off inside the frame and remains stuck inside. Still working on removing that, any suggestions welcome. But aside they are mounted and pretty sturdy if I say so myself, just can't use hi-lift. Additionally, there was a small piece of the the powder coat missing upon arrival but they are on the tacoma to do a job and its not a pretty one so a small imperfection isn't a big deal. Thanks again RRW.

 

Why do you think you couldn't use a hi-lift? RRW says they're fine for a hi-lift point

 

Only one bolt is in place in the bottom of the 3

 

??? Not following what you are saying

 

Oh, because the bit broke. That's right. That makes sense, I thought he was worried about quality or something at first

 

Oh yeah duh

 

Yeah but I ordered a diamond plated drill bit to try to grind thru so hopefully, fingers crossed, I can finish bolting everything down solid.

 

Drill bits are brittle. If you can take a small screw driver, small chisel, or an awl and use a hammer you can more than likely break it apart and it’ll fall out. I’ve done it many times

 

Again, it’s about design strength. How many bolts needed per design to achieve design strength? For example the “line up the holes” approach puts more bolts on the passenger side than on the drivers. In fact, if I do zero drilling and don’t move the brake line brackets there are no new bolts used on the driver side at all. Is that per design or inadequate?
