Backwoods Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen (2010-2023) Rock Sliders

Toyota 4Runner Rock Sliders

Introducing our Steel Rock Sliders for 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner (2010-2023). These sliders give you superior rocker panel protection while also giving you the functionality of a step. At 0 degrees, these sliders still tuck up close to the body of your rig, giving you great ground clearance and peace of mind. The kickout (flared end of the slider) allows the rear of your vehicle to act as a pivot point, pushing the rear tire away from a rock or tree. Plus, it can be used as a wide step for accessing gear on top of your rig. Lastly, DOM tubing is some of the strongest steel material available, commonly used on high end sliders. These sliders can easily hold the weight of the entire vehicle and will give you ultimate protection on the trail. These sliders DO work with Toyota KDSS.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the Frame and Mounting Points: Regularly check the rock sliders for any signs of cracks, rust, or damage. Ensure that the mounting points to the vehicle's frame are secure and that bolts are tight.
• Clean the Surface: After off-road trips or exposure to dirt and mud, clean the rock sliders with water and a mild soap solution to remove grime. Use a soft cloth or brush to avoid scratching the surface.
• Check for Rust and Corrosion: Inspect the sliders, especially in areas prone to moisture or dirt buildup, for signs of rust or corrosion. Apply a rust inhibitor or protective coating as needed.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: If your rock sliders feature any moving parts (such as step extensions), lubricate these components regularly to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Inspect the Mounting Bolts: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they are securely tightened. Loose bolts can cause the sliders to become unstable or potentially damage the vehicle.
• Examine for Scrapes and Dents: Rock sliders are meant to protect the vehicle from off-road hazards, so check for any significant scrapes, dents, or deformation after off-roading. Minor damage is expected, but large dents may compromise their integrity.
• Test for Stability: Ensure that the rock sliders are firmly mounted and do not have any give when pressure is applied. This helps ensure their functionality as protective equipment.
• Protect the Coating: If the sliders are coated with powder coating or paint, check for chipping or wear. Touch up any exposed areas with matching paint or coating to prevent further damage and rust formation.
• Prevent Mud and Dirt Buildup: Regularly clear mud, dirt, and debris that may accumulate on the rock sliders to prevent build-up that could cause rust or wear over time.
• Routine Inspections: Perform detailed inspections every few months, or after particularly rugged off-road sessions, to ensure the rock sliders remain in good condition and are functioning properly.
