A Tacoma's rocker panels are easy to dent and costly to repair, and these RCI sliders move that risk to the frame. A full-length frame support plate with bolts along its length ties each slider into the frame, so impacts are absorbed there rather than in the body. They can still serve as a side step.
The main tube is 2" square with 1.75" DOM outer rails as standard, 1/4" gussets on all four legs and a full-length 3/16" frame plate. The main tube ends are mitered at 45 degrees to follow the body and avoid hang-ups, the standard angle is 20 degrees, and the rear has RCI's low profile kick-out. RCI says they can support the whole side of the truck for hi-lift lifting or sliding on rock. These are made in Loveland, Colorado.
Options
20 degrees is standard and 5 degrees is available; RCI recommends 5 degrees if you add the tread plate. Pick satin black powdercoat over epoxy primer or bare metal, with or without the bolt-on dimpled tread plate for a better step surface and extra shielding from tire throw.
Fitment
Fits 2005-2015 4WD Access Cab and Double Cab Tacomas in the short bed configuration. The long bed has its own listing.
Lead time
Made to order, so these ship on a lead time. RCI posts current lead times on its site, and we can check the current wait for you.
Install notes
Direct bolt-on to existing mounting locations with no drilling, using basic hand tools. Hardware is included, grade 5 and 8 where applicable.
Questions before you order?
Fitment questions are easier to settle before the box ships. Call or text Carl & Anton at (920) 249-7744 or use the chat — real humans in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, not a call center.

RCI Rock Sliders FAQs
Do these fit the long bed Tacoma?
No. This listing is the short bed version. RCI has a separate long bed slider.
Which cabs are covered?
4WD Access Cab and Double Cab trucks from 2005 to 2015.
Which angle should I choose?
20 degrees is standard and gives the most ground clearance. If you add the tread plate, RCI recommends 5 degrees for a flatter step.
Do I need to drill?
No. They bolt to existing mounting locations and install with basic hand tools.
