New Rock Slider Interest Poll

[RealRigsRattle]

I was recently put in contact with a local company Pak Rax about fabricating rock sliders for our platform. They currently offer a very nice bed rack but haven’t done any test fitting for sliders on the Ranger. I have already volunteered my vehicle as a test mule.

They make excellent, well designed products (Bronco Rock Slider Example)but they aren’t the largest of companies. So I came here to gauge interest in a new offering on the market.


Would you buy a set if they were on the market?

Frame mounted?

Frame mounted?

Yes. I’ll see if I can get an install guide from them to show their mounting system.

Went to their site and everything they offer in a rock slider shows welded to frame. I have White Knuckle frame mounted bolt ons. I chose them because I didn’t want to weld to frame. Something they may want to look into. Also they should look into the 6G Ranger Raptor for a frame mounted bolt on set. Seems like there would be a demand for them.

Bronco sliders say they are fully welded and bolt on ready.

Working on getting a Bronco install guide for something a little more relevant to our platform but in the meanwhile here is a BOLT ON Slider Install Guide for a 4Runner.

It would depend on price and shipping, they look nice ? where is the company located?

Can’t give an exact price, but their other offerings seem to be in the $1000 to $1200 range.
Shipping is flat rate at $265 according to their website.
They are headquartered in Gilbert, AZ (a suburb of Phoenix) and offer local pickup.

Personally no. I’d like a kick out more aggressive

Those look nice. Look like they can be used as steps, is that right?

Not with those welds

That’s fair. I could understand wanting them for maximum protection.

Yup, the tread plates are standard and help to give you a better foothold. This are frame mounted and can hold the weight of the vehicle, so they would make for very stout steps.

Here’s a better example of their weld work.

they look very high quality if that’s the style you’re looking for!
