Who’s got’em!? Can they take a good smack? Do they fit without taking off stock rocker guards? $1500 is okay I guess? Wonder if they do a Veterans Discount?! I do think I might get a set unless someone here can convince me of a less expensive option that will work as good???

I have a set to be delivered on the 26th. They fit with the Rubi rail. A lot of my Power Wagon buddies have them. I've seen those guys drop a 8,000 lb truck 5ft down on a rock without damage. The build quality is there. Mine are coming bare metal so that I can get them Line-Xed.

Don’t have, but want.

My last rig was an Xterra and everyone I knew who had them, loved them.
The Power Wagon guys love them.

Just a thought or two…

I recommend painting with rattle can. The line-x will be grippy…not what you want. Secondly, it may rip trapping moisture. If you use a good rust preventative spray paint all you need for a touch up is the can and a piece of cardboard to shield the over spray.

I believe they have both options…use with Rubi rail and one with it removed for higher clearance.

I had the rails on my Power Wagon Line-Xed years ago. I always touched them up after each trip. It held up pretty good.

Currently have WKOR sliders on a 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. Their powdercoat did not hold up well in Michigan weather (as expected). I’ll definitely be Line-Xing them on the Gladiator set, when I get them.

The non Rubicon Rail version DOES NOT hide the pinch seam, but do offer SLIGHTLY more clearance.
The Rubicon Rails with the sliders are a GREAT under door foot scuff protection, when stepping onto the slider.

I had Line-Xd All-Pro Offroad rock sliders on a 2012 Tundra and they looked as good as the day they were done 6 years later, but get the top coat sealant. That’s the trick.

Warning, they’re NO AT ALL GRIPPY in WINTER WEATHER, but what is?!?

I just got mine back from being Line-Xed. Now i have to wait for the monsoon season to quit. I have some traction tape to put on the sliders where you step at.

Love the design and rear bump out, but not paying $300 for powder coating. Looking for other similar frame-mounted options.
