I’m installing rock sliders in my 21 GX460 and was wondering if anyone has experience with using aftermarket rocker panel covers from a Prado 150 to fill in the gap. The gap is between the bottom of the doors and the sliders and I can trim the steps I removed but was looking for a cleaner more finished look. Open to your ideas thanks.

There are a few guys running them.
One concern might be, if you already have the sliders.....some still hit the Prado skirts large drop down part behind the front wheels. Would suck to have to trim them anyway.

Or.... you could just trim your steps, which is what probably 90% of us have done. Yeah, it's kind of a pain, but if the budget is tight, it works really well.
If you do trim yourself, make sure you get a long, flat sureform file to clean up any high spots after your cut. Also get some black (or body color) door edge trim to put over your rocker panel cut. I'll make it look really professional!
