Rock sliders are a great way of protecting the rocker panels of your Toyota Pickup, 4Runner, Tacoma, or FJ Cruiser. Trail-Gear has designed it's Rock Sliders to be the strongest on the market, starting with 1 3/4" OD x .120 wall 1035 DOM. Trail-Gear Rock Sliders are the only rock sliders on the market that use 1035 DOM tubing, based on our testing we believe that using DOM tubing in this application makes our rock sliders the strongest, most affordable available today. Other companies try and cut manufacturing costs by using less expensive HREW tubing, but the end result is always the same, under extreme stress the HREW tubing splits down the seam, failing.
Trail-Gear’s heavy duty design can take a pounding from the rocks while keeping body damage to a minimum, allowing you to slide over or between rocks on even the hardest trails without damage. Trail-Gear rock sliders are strong enough to hold the entire weight of the truck, a high-lift jack can be used anywhere along the slider for repositioning the rig on the trail, or simply high-lifting it up for repairs.
The mounting legs are not welded onto the slider, but are shipped loose so that legs can be attached in different mounting positions. Mounting legs are pre-notched on one side and can be trimmed if needed on the opposite side. Mounting legs are 11 1/4" long, so they allow the sliders to stick out far enough to be used as a step if desired. Six mounting legs, three per side, are provided with the sliders. Trail-Gear rock sliders are sold in pairs, and are shipped raw with no finish, lightly oiled to prevent rusting.
