Randy Ellis Design- What Are Rock Sliders & Why You Need Them? As the name implies, 3rd Gen Tacoma Rock Sliders are made of steel and serve to protect your rocker panels and doors while out on the trail. The term slider refers to the way they let you "slide" over big rocks, trees, and steep hills. Due to the distance between the wheels, the rocker panels are one of the most likely to suffer damage, especially on a longer wheelbase truck like a Tacoma. They're usually designed to take the brunt of any impact from rocks, trees, and more while off the beaten path. While their primary purpose is to protect your vehicle, they may also be used as a step to enter or exit your vehicle. In addition, they may be used to facilitate access to your roof rack and the items on it. Do You Really Need Them? Depending on what you mean. It's imperative to have 3rd Gen Tacoma Rock Sliders if you're expecting to spend a lot of time on technical roads. If you're planning to tow more and more, you'll definitely want to start with this armor. If you're more of an off-roader, the chances of damaging your rock panels or doors are much lower. Unless you're going to be driving on paved roads or easy dirt roads, sliders may not be necessary. They give the truck a rugged look, but that rugged look may not be worth $500-1,000+. Furthermore, there are several options that you can choose from when it comes to customizing the look and function of your sliders. Almost all companies offering sliders will offer kick-outs and fill
plates. The angles of the Tacoma Rock Slider will vary from company to company, but some companies do offer custom options. At last, keep in mind that if you need a Tacoma Rock Slider, don’t procrastinate!
