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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.75\" DOM Steel Tubing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGusseted Corners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra reinforcement at every corner for superior structural integrity under heavy impact and trail stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0-Degree Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sliders mount flush to the body of the truck, maximizing ground clearance while keeping protection tight and close.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKickout Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e The flared rear end allows the back of your Tacoma to pivot off rocks and trees, protecting your rear tire and body panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt-On Aluminum Top Plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rust-resistant aluminum step plate won't corrode from regular foot traffic - finished in a durable bedlined textured surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Textured Powder Coat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included at no extra charge - a tough, attractive finish that resists chips, scratches, and the elements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade 8 Hardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e All mounting bolts and hardware are included for a complete, no-guesswork installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Bolt-On Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e No welding required - designed for a straightforward one-person install at home with basic tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Function - Slider and Step:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide enough to use as a practical step for reaching roof racks or truck beds, not just trail armor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifetime Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backed by Backwoods Adventure Mods' lifetime warranty - if it's not right, they'll make it right.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWheelbase Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort Bed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits 2005-2023 Double Cab Short Bed Tacomas and 2005-2023 Access Cab Long Bed Tacomas in both 4WD and 2WD.

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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Vehicles\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma (2nd \u0026amp; 3rd Gen)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShort Bed Fitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005-2023 Double Cab Short Bed; 2005-2023 Access Cab Long Bed (4WD \u0026amp; 2WD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLong Bed Fitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005-2023 Double Cab Long Bed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTubing Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.75\" DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTop Plate Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolt-On Aluminum (Bedlined Textured Finish)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Textured Powder Coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMounting Angle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 Degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrade 8 Hardware Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstallation Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Bolt-On (no welding required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifetime Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBWTT-0523\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShips via truck freight on a pallet within the contiguous 48 states; flat rate shipping with no additional residential or lift gate fees\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need to weld these sliders to install them?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eNo welding required.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy does the top plate use aluminum instead of steel?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does the kickout on the slider do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Backwoods Adventure Mods","offers":[{"title":"Short Bed (Double Cab Short Bed\/Access Cab Long Bed)","offer_id":57074336465201,"sku":"BWTT-0523","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long Bed (Double Cab Long Bed)","offer_id":57074336497969,"sku":"TT3S-9965","price":1376.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/2nd-3rd-gen-toyota-tacoma-rock-sliders.webp?v=1792771345","url":"https:\/\/omahasportsandgames.com\/products\/toyota-tacoma-rock-sliders-2nd-3rd-gen-2005-2023","provider":"Omaha Sports \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
