DIY Rock Sliders with Quarantine time Tacoma

- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2020
- Over the last few days I have worked on a project to make rock sliders for my off-road Tacoma. Everything was free handed no rhyme or rhythm to the build. Overall very pleased with the sliders and the price point of $240 for materials. If you have any questions feel freeTo come in on the video and I’ll get back to you

Awesome! Great video. Most of common guys don’t have a tube bender so this is a great reference.
Yes, my thoughts exactly what’s the square tubing looks good in my opinion
They look awesome but why wouldn’t you cap the open ends? Kinda defeats the purpose of painting it if water and mud can rust it from the inside out.
That’s correct I ended up capping them off
Thank you very much for the video.
I have a 2019 and this has just become my next project.
Damon Briggs Yeah brotha! You save close to $500-$600 compared to buying a pair.
Very cool. This is my next project on my 14 dcsb. I'll be using a combo of plate, 2x2 square and 1 1/4 schedule 40
Sweet man! Take your time and crush it literally
I like the low profile, blends with frame nicely. Need to get on with the same kinda project for my rig. Need swing away tire/assessories rack for rear. Bumpers front & rear for more clearance.
Scot Quigley DIY is the best way to do it! What rig do you have?
Got a Y2K ZR2 Chevy. Bought it from the original owner. Just put new Goodyear m+s a/t tires on er. 4.3 six, running strong. Still getting it dialed in.
Good work
Thank you!
I like it
Oh... Subbed!
Thank you a bunch
In the process of making the same..
Awesome video, great job!
bquade70 Nice man. I’m in the process of building a hitch mount spare tire swing out with all this free time!
Haha, adding Eibach springs n Bilstein shocks.... Free times great!
bquade70 Which bilstein shocks did you go with?

excellent project, would you mind sharing the measurements? I'm looking to do something that clean.
octavio corona Thank you & Will do, give me a day or two.
RoughPatchRoads thank you so much , thats going to be so helpful 👌🏼
measurements please.
I have a 06' and looking to fab some up, care to share the specs?
Jesse Rodriguez it’s going to vary from truck to truck, but I would say measure the length of your rocker and make it that length
Did they end up working good ?
I would like a update.
Want to start on my soon
Worked out well, I ended up selling the vehicle. But I am planning that for my 4runner
Did i miss it? Where/ how did you actually mount the things thats probably the most important part...
Sorry about the late response, what I did was mount to the factory hose on the frame. And my apologies for the missed information

@roughpatchroad6695 did you bolt on or weld to the frame? I have a chevy 2500 ive heard that it is a hardened frame so im not sure i can weld to, or if i can drill it safely. Its tough to find info on. 😕
lifting your tires off the ground = weight of the vehicle like rock sliders are intended also giving you the ability to change your tires. all you did was lift some of the body weight. and im pretty sure you know that...unsure if they would actually hold up to lifting tires off the ground? assuming yes. atleast they look good i guess.
Miah Oneluv13t4r Yeah I completely understand your concerns! When I made this video the sliders were not entirely bolted to the frame I’ve since finished bolted them, and I can assure you they are completely capable of holding the vehicles weight
How did you mount them to the frame?
CreekProwler Hey yeah I used all the pre-existing holes on the frame, then added two holes on the bottom of the frame
RoughPatchRoads did you run the bolts all the way through the frame?
Why the center rail design instead of longer support rails? Awesome build-
What were your angles for the cuts on the end peices?
If I remember correctly, it was Right around 45°

How much do you think it would cost a metal work shop to do this to my Ranger?
Man I would say you are better off buying production sliders for what a shop would charge you
RoughPatchRoads oh no way? Thank you so much I’ll definitely do that then. Stay safe !
Patrick Amos Not to hard to make man do you know anyone with a welder, if you precut everything in advance I’m sure you can have a buddy or Craigslist welder weld it cheap

2021 4runner, I am not pay 700+$ and wait for 90+ days…..
Get what you pay for.. if you want quality hit up Bash Fabrication. They will do DIY if you message them but have full bolt ONS ready to go and just released a slimline bumper for the 5th gen T4Rs. wait time also isn't 90 days. Maybe a month
Interesting, looking to get something for my 4runner and don’t have the time to weld up. What’s your contact information?
