options for rock sliders?

[armysoldier30263]

i know about the toyota rocksliders from addictedoffroad.com but other than total custom has anybody found any other rocksliders or step bars that wont break the bank? i dont want stock running boards or step bars ...

I reckon as long as you measure the length, any aftermarket slider's can be mounted with only a little fab work. You choose the angle you want and bingo! if your not doing it yourself a shop would only charge $50 or so for 6 tab's welded on, I'd think. Worth a check anyway.

"reckon" ?!?! thought that was only used in the south lol but the only slider'step bars i can find that i like is primarily for jeeps and most mount on the rocker panels and the 4dr jeep stuff is so overpriced ... but my idea is to get the rocksliders like the ones on the website and go to a fab shop and get them to run a strip of metal the length of the running board mounts and off of the strip weld the sliders or step bars on it

AJ's off road armor does sliders for jeeps - i'm sure he could be persuaded to do some for an X....

i checked out ajs offroad and nothing there still cant beat the prices on the yota sliders ... and they will take minor fab work ... dont know im still unsure what i want to do

I just bought these at http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Trail-Gear-Toyota-Rock-Sliders-Rocker-Protection-p-16782.html

$188 shipped but you need to be able to weld them. easy enough making them bolt on to the frame rails with additional brackets but you can cut these to the desired width

If you have a chop saw, 1/2" drill and MIG welder you should be good to go.

I took off and ditched the old plastic steps long ago, and my kids have a hard time getting in now so these should work great.

Awesome thanks for posting the link! I might do this and get the mounting gussets that are on that page too. Post some pics of your install if you can!

There's an EF vendor who will do custom rock sliders (look about halfway down this page).

He quoted the guy there $300 for the pair, but then they would be made for your vehicle:

[Baddecision93]

Lounge, did you drill into your frame?

I'm still up in the air if I have balls enough to do that.

 

[lounge lizard]

no!

the holes were already there. built the mounts around existing holes so I wouldn't have to drill the frame


thanks Lynchy!
