That would look sick. I’m not sure if the pro wheels are available but I feel like they are. I saw a video the other day where the guy had bronze pro wheels. It looked awesome
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 If they are not available, the redesigned 4Runner Pro Wheels of 23(?)-24 are really, really nice looking (for awhile Toyota could not procure them and put old style on their 4 runners (I think they are actually better looking than the 24 Tacoma Pro wheels) - crazy, but I think they are good now). So tires on those to match height of New Tacoma Pro's (whole point is to look good, be functional, but not kill your mpg like the crazy tire size + giant lift crowd - teenager stuff, if you ask me. They don't. ;) ) 265/75/r17
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 the stock suspension seems pretty legit so far. If I was going to do a lift, I’d avoid doing those spacer lift/leveling kits and go for a full upgrade, but you’re talking a lot of money. Even the wheels and tires are plenty big enough for most scenarios. You can fit 33’s without a lift, so I think it depends on what you wanna get out of it and how much more money you wanna throw into it. Are you keeping the truck for a long time or planning on swapping it? Anything other than OEM, dealer installed options will not increase resale value and could even decrease it. These are the things I try keep in mind myself before I consider doing anything to a stock vehicle. Sliders are one thing; suspension, wheels, tires, and other significant mods can get you going down a rabbit hole quickly lol. I fully admit, the trucks look awesome with bigger tires, but they come at a cost (additional wear and tear, decreased efficiency, etc.). I like the Pro wheels and tires idea, but I don’t think you need a lift for that. Those factory Bilstein shocks will work perfectly as is.
Man, those look awesome! I ordered mine from Cali raised back in May and still have no clue when I’ll get them… the OEM ones are definitely nice, and I’ll bet they’re easier to install than aftermarket ones too! Oh well 🤷♂️
Yeah that’s crazy. I do like the oem ones. And they fit perfectly. Like I said the only difficult part about installing them is the bolts are super long and I didn’t have an impact that would fit up in there so I was using a ratchet and a ratcheting wrench😂
I think they were like 940 or something like that. What’s dumb is it wasn’t even like it was hard to figure out. It just took longer on the first side😂
Actually, I bet close to zero Tacoma's need them. I've wheeled some pretty gnarly trails in Moab with my GX. Smashed and scratched both bumpers but the door sills were never an issue. You need to be in some rough terrain, or be a poor driver, to actually need these
That was exactly what I've found out since removing my sliders. Did the White Rim Trail out of Moab, Toroweap, and the Cottonwood Trail into Kodachrome Basin State Park and never once touched the rocker panels.
On my 2022 Tacoma 4Dr TRD OffRoad it came with the factory sliders with the steps. On day three of owning the truck my buddy and I went to an off road area we like. Good test for the new truck! On mile two I ripped off the drivers side step and at mile three I smashed the passenger side flat. The sliders were removed and tossed.
Yeah that sounds like the predator steps. Those are not the best 😂 I haven’t been able to smash these on a rock yet but I’m hoping since they were HEAVY and bolt right to the frame, that they will hold the weight of the truck
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 That makes much more sense. I was thinking there's no way in hell there should be rust, or at least that much rust, already forming all over that frame and body. I thought it might be dirt but it was a very different color than the dust you were wiping off of the doors. I was also wondering that if it were dirt, why not wash and dry the underside before bolting on the new sliders? But since you wiped off those spots, even without showing it, that answers all those questions. Thanks for the elaboration. The rails look good on your Tacoma, thanks for sharing!
Yeah I wanted to wash the underside but I don’t like car washes and I don’t have a pressure washer 😂 so the best I could do was wipe it off😂 anyway. Thanks for watching!
Do you think the taco needs a lift now? Or should I just wheel it stock?
upgrade shocks w/ 2-inch lift in front and a 1.5-inch lift in back , '24 Pro wheels (are they available?) w/ Pro size tires: 265/70/R18

Do u have a part number
Did these come with the hardware in the box?
Yes they did.
Let’s be honest, 99% of your viewer don’t rock crawl.
lol you’re probably right. But if you look through the comments of my toquerville falls video they are all experts😂
Anyone have the Toyota part number for these?
The part numbers are
PT738-35242 driver side.
PT738-35243 passenger side.
Any toyota parts department can get them for you👍
sooo nice to see oem rock sliders! Strongly dislike putting chinasliders on a Japanese vehicle ❤
Chinasliders😂😂
You know a LOT of companies that make sliders are American made?
@@nathanlaurendine8402Yes there are. RCI is a company I use.
Are you able to use them as a step to stand on as well?
They don’t stick out far enough to step on
Can you post the part number?
@zohhamaze The part numbers are
PT738-35242 driver side.
PT738-35243 passenger side.
Looks good! Nice having a buddy to help....
Oh for sure! I can’t imagine trying to get those first bolts in by myself. Those sliders are like 100 pounds each😂
Your furry little helpers are just the cutest around!
They were very interested in that we were doing😂
So cute
Don't fall for this BS hype... your not Rockcrawling your 50k Tacoma lol 😆
Who says I won’t?😂
Just a couple of salesmen using their soft hands to wrench on some bolts🙌 looks great
Me when I’m putting the license plate on a sold. That’s my hard work. 🤣😂
@@Andrew.aguiniga hell yeah brother thanks for your help!

Yes he did😂

He even bit my ass 😂😅
@@Andrew.aguiniga NOOO he kissed you with his teeth closed.
How much were they? 45 min first side 15 min second side sounds like the vehicle equivalent to an IKEA project.. 🤣🤪

Looks great. Very professional.
Thank you!
How nice video!Do you interested in product review? How can I contact with you?
Hi there just curious if the oem ones you can also use as a step to get Into the truck to thanks in advance
They do stick out from the cab a little bit so I guess you could but you would have to be careful not to slip off.

Why is the under side of your truck all rusted out already? Is it that cheaply made now a days?
lol. It’s not rust. It’s dirt. I live on a dirt road
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 Holy crap, i thought it was rust and thought i would search the comment section before i asked, lol
Was that primer, dirt, or surface rust all over the bottom of that frame and body?
It was dirt😂 it did look like rust tho. I wiped off the spots where the sliders bolted on. I just didn’t show it.
