Toyota Tacoma Rock Sliders 2nd & 3rd Gen (2005-2023)


Description

The Backwoods Adventure Mods Toyota Tacoma Rock Sliders are purpose-built rocker panel protection for 2nd and 3rd generation Tacomas from 2005 to 2023. Constructed from 1.75" DOM steel tubing - one of the strongest steel materials available - these sliders are engineered to take a beating on the trail and keep your truck's body panels intact. At a 0-degree angle, they sit flush and tight to the body, preserving ground clearance without sacrificing protection.

What sets these sliders apart is the dual-purpose design: they function as serious off-road armor and as a practical, wide step for loading gear or accessing a roof rack. The kickout (flared rear end) acts as a pivot point, deflecting rocks and trees away from your rear tire during technical trail maneuvers. Whether you're crawling through rocky terrain or just want a rugged, functional step, these sliders deliver both in one clean package.


Key Features

  • 1.75" DOM Steel Tubing: Built from Drawn Over Mandrel steel - one of the strongest tubing materials used in high-end sliders - capable of supporting the full weight of the vehicle.
  • Gusseted Corners: Extra reinforcement at every corner for superior structural integrity under heavy impact and trail stress.
  • 0-Degree Angle: Sliders mount flush to the body of the truck, maximizing ground clearance while keeping protection tight and close.
  • Kickout Design: The flared rear end allows the back of your Tacoma to pivot off rocks and trees, protecting your rear tire and body panels.
  • Bolt-On Aluminum Top Plate: Rust-resistant aluminum step plate won't corrode from regular foot traffic - finished in a durable bedlined textured surface.
  • Black Textured Powder Coat: Included at no extra charge - a tough, attractive finish that resists chips, scratches, and the elements.
  • Grade 8 Hardware Included: All mounting bolts and hardware are included for a complete, no-guesswork installation.
  • 100% Bolt-On Installation: No welding required - designed for a straightforward one-person install at home with basic tools.
  • Dual Function - Slider and Step: Wide enough to use as a practical step for reaching roof racks or truck beds, not just trail armor.
  • Lifetime Warranty: Backed by Backwoods Adventure Mods' lifetime warranty - if it's not right, they'll make it right.

Wheelbase Options & Which to Choose

  • Short Bed: Fits 2005-2023 Double Cab Short Bed Tacomas and 2005-2023 Access Cab Long Bed Tacomas in both 4WD and 2WD. This is the most popular configuration and the right pick for the majority of Tacoma owners with a double cab or access cab setup.
  • Long Bed: Fits 2005-2023 Double Cab Long Bed Tacomas. If you're running the extended long bed configuration on your double cab, this is your model - sized specifically to match that longer wheelbase for proper fitment and coverage.

What's Included

  • Pair of Rock Sliders (driver and passenger side)
  • Bolt-On Aluminum Top Plates (bedlined textured finish)
  • Grade 8 Mounting Hardware

Why You'll Love It

These rock sliders are designed by off-road enthusiasts who actually wheel their trucks - so every detail, from the kickout angle to the bolt-on top plate, reflects real-world trail use. The 100% bolt-on design means you can install them yourself in a day without a welder or a shop, saving both time and money. The aluminum top plate is a thoughtful touch that separates these from competitors: it won't rust out from years of boots stepping on and off, keeping your rig looking sharp long after install. Built from DOM steel and finished in a free black textured powder coat, these sliders are as good-looking parked at the trailhead as they are functional on the rocks. Trusted by Tacoma owners across the country and backed by a lifetime warranty, these sliders are a confident, long-term investment in your truck's protection and capability.

FAQ

Do I need to weld these sliders to install them?

No welding required. These are 100% bolt-on sliders designed to be installed at home with basic hand tools. All Grade 8 mounting hardware is included in the box. Backwoods Adventure Mods also provides an installation video to walk you through the process step by step.

What is the difference between the Short Bed and Long Bed models?

The Short Bed model fits 2005-2023 Double Cab Short Bed Tacomas and 2005-2023 Access Cab Long Bed Tacomas. The Long Bed model fits 2005-2023 Double Cab Long Bed Tacomas. Make sure to match the model to your specific cab and bed configuration for proper fitment.

Will these sliders affect my ground clearance?

These sliders are designed at a 0-degree angle, meaning they mount flush and close to the body of the truck. This keeps them tucked in tight rather than hanging low, so ground clearance is minimally impacted - giving you solid rocker protection without sacrificing approach geometry on the trail.

Why does the top plate use aluminum instead of steel?

The bolt-on aluminum top plate is a deliberate design choice - aluminum naturally resists rust and corrosion, so years of boots stepping on and off won't cause it to deteriorate like a steel plate would. It's also finished in a bedlined textured surface for grip and durability.

How do these ship, and will they arrive damaged?

These sliders ship via truck freight on a pallet within the contiguous 48 states. Backwoods Adventure Mods covers freight costs above the flat rate you pay at checkout. As with any large freight shipment, it's a good idea to inspect the pallet upon delivery and note any damage before signing. If anything arrives damaged, contact Backwoods directly - they stand behind their products with a lifetime warranty.

What does the kickout on the slider do?

The kickout is the flared end at the rear of the slider. When your Tacoma's rear makes contact with a rock or tree during a trail maneuver, the kickout acts as a pivot point that pushes the rear tire away from the obstacle rather than letting it dig in. It's a key feature for technical off-road driving and helps protect both your rocker panels and your rear tires.
