(2003-2009) 4th Gen 4Runner and GX470 (non-KDSS) Rock Sliders
- They bolt to the factory holes with the thickest plates in the industry ( 3/8″ !!) and tough .120 wall tubing.
- These protect your frame from bowing or cupping when the weight of your truck is carried by the sliders.
- There is a brace on 3 of the four legs to helps support the weight.
- The stock emergency brake lines fit with no modifications.
- They come with ultra-thick washers and grade 10.9 metric hardware to attach them.
- We do have people order them just for the fact that other car doors are stopped before scraping up your Toyota. We also have people order them just for a step up.
- ALL SLIDERS ARE SOLD IN PAIRS (2).
Hot Rolled Electrically Welded (HREW) – 178 pounds (81kg) per pair (2)
Recommend for all-around strength and protection from trail riding and overland expeditions. HREW is more than capable of being dragged, banged, and hit against large flat rocks, trees, and during bottom-out situations.
A specific type of welding process that involves both spot and seam welding. Seam welding is commonly used during the manufacturing of round tubing. The steel strip is unwound from coils and side-trimmed to control width and condition the edges for welding. The strip then passes through a series of contoured rollers which cold-form the material into a circular shape. The edges are forced together under pressure as a butt joint and then welded by heating the material to temperatures above 2000° F. The flash weld that has formed is now removed from the outside diameter of the tube. Once the weld has been tested the tube then passes through a series of sizing rolls to attain its precise finished size, after which the tube is then straightened and cut to length.
Drawn Over Mandrel (DOM) – 178 pounds (81kg) per pair (2)
Recommended for use in rock crawling applications, where hard impacts from the sharp edges of a rock is likely to occur. DOM offers off-roaders and overlanders a better “dent resistant” metal process as compared to HREW.
Technically, DOM is not a type of steel tube, but rather the process in which the tube is finished. It is considered a high quality tube. The first stages of manufacturing are identical to ones used to make HREW tube, but in the finishing stages, the entire flash weld is removed and the tube is cold drawn over a mandrel. The cold drawn process provides the tube with better dimensional tolerances, improved surface finish and the strongest weld strength achievable.
Partial Fill
Fills the rear third of the slider, between the main and outer tubes, with 1/8″ (3.175mm) American steel. This option is typically chosen in conjunction with our “kicker” option. Offers a wonderful step surface to better access the 4Runner’s roof or optional rack mounted accessories.
Full Fill
Fill the entire slider between the main and outer tubes with 1/8″ (3.175mm) American steel. This option work extremely well with both straight and “kicker” sliders. Offers driver and passengers a superior step surface for cab entry and exit.
Smooth
A fill plate design for both partial and full fill plates. Smooth is simple, classic and refined.
Diamond Plate
A fill plate design for both partial and full fill plates. Diamond plate offers a superior traction surface with the classic feel of strength and authority.
Dimple Die Up
A fill plate design for both partial and full fill plates. Dimple Die Up is our modern take on diamond plate. Evenly spaced 2″ laser cut holes are individually pressed to giving dimension and purpose. Once orientated up, form joins function, and the pressed edges offer a high traction step surface.
Dimple Die Down
A fill plate design for both partial and full fill plates. Dimple Die Down offers modern, aggressive styling. Evenly spaced 2″ laser cut holes are individually pressed to giving dimension and purpose. Once orientated down, this fill plate offers a unique, race inspired form.
