I had the version that came for the FJC and honestly, even with some hard hits, they help up fine. I know people like to shit in them but real world they work fine for what most need them for. I like how they are minimal looking and barely noticeable. Another plus is that you can get individual replacements in case one dies get damaged. They can be purchased individually. Consiogettjng some for our new 5th gen we just picked up. Thanks for the test, glad to see a little verification.
People like to shit in the shipping box, or actually shit IN the sliders?? Because you’d need to drill a pretty large access hole in order to take advantage of that mobile porta potty feature!
Found a good deal on these and this video made me decide to pull the trigger. I use my 4R to get to cool places for camping/fishing, not rock crawling as a hobby, so I think these will be perfect for a little extra protection if my line is a little off and I hit a tree root or rutted out ground the wrong way. Plus they're cheap enough that if they do get damaged I'm not gonna feel too bad. I also love how low profile they are compared to many of the aftermarket options.
I have them on mine, they seem to flex back into the original position. They look good and work great for light off-roading no problem. Also you can get them pretty cheap. They are kinda heavy unlike the predator steps which are super light in comparison.
Just got mine for my 18 TRD ORP. Very impressed with the weight and the welds. (Had Bud Built's on my FJ but went middle of the road here) I blasted the interior of them w Woolwax (as my frame bathes in it yearly and the occasional touchup) Are you suppose to leave the round frame plugs that sit behind the brackets? I almost think yes - fairly large opening if removed vs leaving the plugs there, I guess after torquing it's flush enough? No info on Toyota's install pdf (not that you need instructions here)
Those are rock sliders? I don't know, while they look nice (and thats important) I think being aluninum would not really fall into the rock "slider" category. I always use the old saying, "pay once, cry once" and get some good rock sliders (Cali Raised, etc). With that, good video showing Toyota does in fact sell OEM rock rails that do look nice and will be suitable for overlanding adventures to great destinations.
Buy once, cry once! But you are correct. I feel like these give the look most people want, aside from not being the best in their category of actual performance
Do you know if these will work on a 2011 Limited model? I already ripped out the dreaded Xreas suspension, and lines. I guess i could do the homework myself, but figured I'd ask. Thinking about saving the money and getting these instead of CBI's mainly because of the money id save.
You'll have to trim the plastic or swap it out for Trail Edition parts. I've seen them trimmed out and they can look good if you make a good cut. I'm planning to do it eventually. Getting the Trail Edition trim is way too pricey, and the only manufacturer making an aftermarket version stopped sometime a year or two ago.

Sweet! Predator steps arnt rock sliders tho, very different in that sense
@Team4runner only compared the weight, had the predators before, those for off-road would get destroyed no doubt.
Nice test and video 👍

Where was the "test" part of this video?!!
They look good
I’m getting some tomorrow, someone just bought a new 4R and wants to trade theirs for some predator steps like the ones mine came with

Aluminum skids are very common.
I don't think they are aluminum, seems to be steel to me.
@engineerofalltrades You're right, they're not.
Hey SoyCali Tinkerbell, the OEM Sliders are not aluminum.
Good to know! Do you have the part number for the bolts I need to install these?

What’s the torque spec on the bolts?
Anyone know the bolt size/thread for them?
Which model quickjack is this?
Can you use a hi lift jack with them?
Have you tested other brands? Did the other brand flex a bit? OEM are like half price from what I found.
I was incorrect on the price...the Toyota site sells them per side (and it listed them per installed price ) $410 per side installed
@@mattineeman Bam wholesale has them for $240 each
I just bought some. Toyota Parts is having a Memorial day sale, $485 for both sides and install kit, free shipping.
Do these work with a kdss 4runner?
Is that a floor jack or stand?
How much do these weigh?
Good question! Not sure🤔
80 lbs
