I had a seemingly stupid question about the 5 degree vs the 20 degree (standard) angle… . Is the 20 degree out most edge of the slider pitched up 20* (in my mind this means it’ll be up tighter to the vehicle body.) meaning the 5* pitch would be slightly easier to use as a step?
Thanks guys

((Thoughts I have.. with the higher angle the plate seems unnecessary.. the flatter angle the top plate seems necessary..idk I’m just worried one of my kids might just miss step or slip and well bad day.. maybe top plate is mandatory in my situation regardless for child safety peace of mind.))

I think RCI has a good product available for other similar vehicles and it’s great to see them bring out this option for the 5G…

definitely going to be my choice once I’m in position to replace the bulky tremor side step thingys.

I believe you are correct, the steeper angle hugs the rocker tighter. The 5 degree is more 'step side' like and probably makes better use of the top plate.

Sorry, your argument was so invalid you had to switch the topic to grammar.

Yes did I fuck up above? Sure.

Do I care not at all. Hopefully you have a better weekend ?


Ughhhh......maybe put the phone down after a couple of beers or ask someone to proofread for ya.

"To each THEIR own"

You'd use the possessive in this case, rather than the contraction "they're" which is short for "they are".

Anyways, best of luck reading (and comprehending) all these words. Don't get a headache ?

I’d check out there Tacoma section you can see a side by side comparison of the two.
For a family I’d think 20 with the plate would be the way to go imo

The 5 degree angle is better used as a step, the 20 degree angle is closer to the rocker panel and provides better ground clearance.

Thanks you guys. Sounds like top cap will be the way to go so no little feet’s slip and cause a real bad day getting caught in the openings.

You fools are too late, I'm already here camping in their parking lot in my RTT ⛺?

It's like a black friday sale!

Hurts me right in the meow meow when you say stuff like that

I'm starting vacation in a few days, we should link up, even if just for coffee but hopefully to check out each other's sliders

I'm not exactly sure where you're camped, but that's about 30-35 for me and it keeps us out of the metro which is preferable.

There's always next Sat or something
