The reason Slee's sliders are heavy and expensive is that you may be paying by the pound!

The 225 lbs is packed weight, the 125lbs is the item weight for the pair. Unfortunately I have not been able to figure out on a Woocommerce site to change the label for weight to "shipping weight". So it is a little confusing. If someone knows how to do that, I am all ears.

Another quick video my wife made with the GX and 4runner out exploring.

Heads up to all the GX owners the Toyota trd rock rails for the trd pro fit the GX nicely with KDSS.
Happen to have the part numbers handy?

part numbers PT228-89191 and PT228-89190.
paid $470 OTD and it took Toyota 1 day to get to them. Best part is if one happens to get badly damaged I can order one side.
These look great. Was planning on RSG but for my needs these might be just the ticket.

I was going to order the RSG as well but I feel the same. Way overkill for my needs.

Not gonna lie, imma get these for my 460. Too bad I couldn’t get them for our 470.

Do it!
Do these actually support any weight other than a person standing on them? Can you use a Hi Lift Jack on them?

Lots of 4R pics and measurements here: Toyota-4Runner.org - https://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/289225-oem-toyota-rock-rails-5th-gen-12.html
IMHO, the weakest part is probably the (only) 6 bolts per side mounting, and I think they're 8mm bolts? Mounting flanges seem to be 1/4", but have substantial pass-through cutouts for lines.

Not sure on using a hi lift Jack on them but I’m not a fan of them either. I’ll just use the factory Jack if need be.

Just for giggles, you may want to stick a jack under those sliders and start jacking, only up to the point of flex. Then see if you can bring it up any higher to support the vehicles weight without any bending. If it's not looking good, abort. Doing this Just in case you should ever need to use them as a jack point, you'll know for sure before hand if you can or cannot use them as a jack point when stuck in a situation.

They seem pretty thick and we’re heavy and bolt to the frame
I've read on the 4Runner forums that they are just ok as an actual slider, most definitely not up to par with a true rock slider. For his needs/use they should work just fine but I don't think I'd ever truly rely on them as an actual slider than you can drop on.

Thanks for the info. They’ll definitely work great for my needs. I will order the same for the wife’s 4runner.
May I suggest that you test your factory jack now to see if its still useable with a suspension modification and larger tires. Factory jack bottle jacks, floor jacks are for maintenance. Hi Lift Jack is for recovery.
Why are you not a fan of the Hi Lift? It's by far the most useful, cost effect piece of recovery equipment available.
