Yeah I've searched...
WHY oh why doesn't anyone make decent rocksliders for a 40? I mean something that WELDS to the frame, uses 1.75/2.0" tubing, DOES NOT touch the body in any way, and is stout enough?
All the sliders I see commercially are either attach to the body lip style (don't like because I don't want to whack the body in that area... I'm trying to protect the rocker panels not damage them) and then they BOLT to the frame, or they are wimpy "steps" that would tear off at the first rock they touch.
I'm looking for rock sliders that meet these criteria:
Weld to the frame with outriggers that are gusseted at the frame rails;
Mimic the lines of the original running boards WITH a slight rear kicker;
Are made from smaller-diameter (1.75 to 2.00") thick-wall tubing;
I have similar rock sliders on my 4Runner :
SO... doesn't seem to difficult. Does anyone make these? Or will I just have to have some made?
