C4 Sliders or Westcott?

Hello friends, so I’ve reviewed all the rock slider options. Was interested to hear from those who own C4 or Westcott. I need ones that work well as a step and read the C4s are connected at a 45degree angle. Anyone have pics of those up close and underneath?

Westcott looks great but wanted a step type and not full 90 degree angle.

thoughts are appreciated.

 

You can get Westcott's in a couple different angles and with a kickout. https://westcottdesigns.net/product/toyota-4runner-5th-gen-sliders-2/

 

Just 0 or 20. 20 is too much for a step. Wondering if people have pics of the 0 degree underneath and along the side. The sites don’t do good jobs with up close photos.

@RLTW any advice?

 

Thanks brother

 

You got it! If you're anywhere near AZ, you should stop in to Westcott ... sometimes they have blems that don't pass their qc (like my rack) and you can't even tell why. They had to show me the slight scuff on the powdercoating of my rack for me to notice and I got it for a good discount. Their attention to detail and quality is the best I've seen in person. They were super helpful too.

 

As requested, picture of Wescott Designs 0 degree sliders installed. I did not want the "steps" on top as these work well enough for me as is.

 

The zero degrees look way better than I thought!!!

 

@raimieb here's my 0 degree Westcott sliders with top plate. They work incredible as steps and my 7 year old is a testament. I can take pictures from a lower angle if you want

 

I dunno...I have the Westcott 20's and they function as a step just fine for my girlfriend, nieces/nephews, and me when I'm loading up the roof rack. Since I spend a lot of time off road I wasn't willing to sacrifice the clearance lost with the 0's.

 

Those are fantastic!! Really good looking. We will go with those for the wife. Appreciate y’all posting the photos.

 

That's what we are here for, to help you spend your money!!

 

May I suggest 4x Innovations sliders. The sliders will bolt to the 4x skids via brackets to create a cohesive unit that is very, very robust. My off-road buddies have referred to my 4R as a tank. The sliders are held on with 13 bolts per side. The link will take you to 4x website and the video speaks for itself.

These are Westcott sliders at 0 degree w/ kickout and top plates. Some of the best sliders on the market all made in house. I see you have made up your mind and going with them and I am late to the game but if you have any other questions let me know. I have the owner, Jeff on speed dial haha.

If I were a "hardcore" offroader, these would be my choice for sliders without a doubt.

 

Here's the link to my post about Westcott 0 degree No kick out Sliders

Mine work Great as a step, I chose the ones without a top plate.

Sounds like you want RCI. 5 degrees

 

After receiving their skids and having the engine skid with a horrific weld (returned) and awaiting product I wouldn't go with that company. Even the sales rep said we have multiple stages of QCs and this should have been caught. Looking at their weld quality it would be a hard pass on any of their products.

Not trying to bash a company as their customer service was great and mistakes happen but when spending this amount of money we expect quality products.

 

It happens

 

On the Westcott 20 degree sliders, y’all find them easy to use for the driver as a step to enter the vehicle? Not your toe barely on there but a genuine step without slipping.

 

Here’s a bad picture of my C4

It is useable as a step, but I don’t think it is the deepest step you could find.

 

Thanks for all the photos and input guys. Ordered the Westcott 0 degree with top plates in DOM/TIG. Cost a pretty penny but I've seen too many posts of other brands rusting within the first year or two. Will post photos once arrived and installed.

 

Jealous! They are on my list but a few spots down. I've seen them in person when I stopped by their shop to get my rack and they are so nice. Congrats!!!

 

You will have zero regrets!! I will be at their shop tomorrow for some skid installs. Congrats!!

 

Hope the skid install goes great. Have fun!

 

Thanks amigo. Whatever I add tot he 4R I try to do well with it.

 

The best way to do it!

 

Anyone go with the 20° with top plates and have photos?
