    Sliders are rails that are either welded or bolted to the frame to protect the rocker panels from rock damage while off roading.

    I put Westin tubes for the Access cab on my Double Cab. I think the shorter ones look better, are easier to install and they still provide a step for the back seat.

    If you lose the steps, you better find the touch up paint.

    Without the front flaps, the rear panels will get sand blasted. ...and the door ding protection....

    Steps for protection, as stated above. I have them but I am always on the fence about them until I see some idiot swing his car door into them. Then I feel better about it.

    However, I think in the future I'm going to get a set of Nfabs with steps that are actually useful.

    Matt, you HAVE to keep them on.
    1. Because if some one dinged your truck, Im pretty sure you will track and kill them
    2. Christy uses them. :)

    as soon as I read tube steps I though "ditch them!" but then i looked at the pic and they actually look pretty decent. IMO i would never personly have them, I like the look of sliders alot more and they are functional too.

    yay for jelly beans!
