Rock sliders 0 degrees or 20?

I have a set of 20 degree sliders from westcott if interested needing a 0 degree. 20 degree hug the body more though.

 

Where are you located?

 

Atlanta

 

Posted in the group buy section if your so inclined for some westcott ones, will need to deal with lead times.

 

I bought the Westcott 0's. Hindsight I should have got the 20 degrees, I still like what I have but may swap out later.

 

my 0 deg cali raised should be here any day now

 

Nice! Let me know if you have any questions on install. Pretty self explanatory but I was able to do them by myself with no jack or jack stands. The one thing I didnt do which would have helped a ton was to chase the threads before hand to get some of the paint out of the holes. Some of the bolts were tight from the get go until getting all the way through which didnt help as I was laying on my back and ratcheting them in place.

 

maybe you both should switch.

 

Where you located maybe we can swap?

 

Thanks for your support!

 

Do you have any deals currently for forum members?

 

do you have any pictures of these on your 4Runner?

 

Thanks, will do! I did buy the right size tap to clean up the threads beforehand so hopefully that helps!

 

Be sure to get anti seize.

You might want to clean up the threads with a “thread chaser” rather than a “tap” as a tap may remove thread material.

Here's a $100 off coupon for RSG sliders.

Let me know if that doesn't work. I will check with the owner.

 

Good info! Thank you! I will definitely try the chaser first!

 

Loved my 20 degree sliders on my Tacoma from Baja Born Off-road. He had them sit out about an inch farther than the Cali raised 20 degree ones so they could be used as a step to get to my gear up top still but the sleek low profile of the angles sliders. I just can’t stand the look of 0 degree sliders…

 

Same exact truck. Same exact year. Same exact color. Same exact sliders. Same exact happiness. Love how they sit just higher up enough to make the incline less necessary yet keep the step functional.

 

How long ago did you order yours? I’ll give them a call Monday

 

Just looked. Ordered 9/3, shipped 9/8, delivered 9/14. They must do them in batches

 

Sweet. I see they only offer 0 degree but they seem to sit high and hug the body tight. Do you have anymore pictures of your rig close up with them on?

 

From the same article - this is only an issue on older or possibly rusty threads. As long as the bolt is able to start ok on the initial threads, the tap would be fine.

 

Looking to trade Predator Tube Steps with 200 miles on them for some sliders. Pic's before and after rim and tire install.
