Choosing your Hardware Kit: Before you select a Hardware Kit, check whether the mounting holes on your vehicle's actual frame are threaded. Choose the threaded kit only if your frame holes are threaded; otherwise choose the non-threaded kit. If you are not sure, contact us before ordering.

Both the Step Edition and Trail Edition are built as true frame-mounted rock sliders, not cosmetic steps. The main difference is the slider angle and how the vehicle will be used.

Choose Step Edition if you want:

A 0-degree flat rock slider
Better step usability
Easier entry and exit
Better footing for kids and passengers
Easier roof access
A better setup for daily driving, work trucks, and family use
Optional filler plate configurations

Choose Trail Edition if you want:

An upward-angled rock slider: 25 degrees on Tacoma, 20 degrees on 4Runner
Better ground clearance
A tighter-to-body profile
A more aggressive off-road setup
A slider built more around technical trail performance
A lighter slider setup without filler plates

Quick comparison:

Step Edition is best for daily use, step function, passenger access, and practical protection. Trail Edition is best for added clearance, tighter body fitment, lighter weight, and trail-focused driving.

If your Tacoma or 4Runner is built more for technical terrain, harder trail use, and maximum clearance, the Trail Edition is the better fit. If it sees more daily driving and passenger use, the Step Edition may be the better option.

Are these true rock sliders or just side steps?

These are true frame-mounted rock sliders built for rocker panel protection and trail use, not just cosmetic side steps.

Are these bolt-on rock sliders?

Yes. These are 100% bolt-on and require no drilling or cutting.

How long does installation take?

Installation is estimated at approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

What frame option do I need to choose when ordering?

You'll need to choose between Threaded Frame Holes and No Threaded Frame Holes based on your vehicle's frame configuration.

What makes these 4Runner rock sliders strong?

These sliders use 1.75-inch DOM tubing, .120-inch wall thickness seamless construction, frame-mounted rock slider construction, and Grade 8 hardware for trail-ready strength.

Where can I find installation instructions?

Cali Raised LED has two installation videos on YouTube: one for frames with threaded holes and one for frames without threaded holes. Watch the one that matches the hardware kit you ordered.

What if a mounting hole doesn't line up?

There is plenty of adjustment built into the mounting points, so loosen the bolts and shift the part into position before tightening. If a hole still won't line up, contact Cali Raised LED support.

Do raw steel sliders need to be coated?

Yes, ideally right away. Raw steel has no protective finish, so you need to paint, powder coat or otherwise treat it to prevent rust. Choose a powder coat or bed liner finish if you don't want to coat them yourself.

Which frame option does my 2025+ 4Runner need?

Most 2025 4Runners need the No Threaded Frame Holes kit, and 2026+ models have threaded frame holes. Check your frame before ordering, and contact Cali Raised LED support if you are unsure.

What torque spec should I use?

The sliders mount with M10 Grade 8 bolts, so torque them to the standard spec for M10 Grade 8 hardware.

How do I touch up a chip or scratch in the powder coat?

Clean the area of dust and debris, then spray light, even coats of the Cali Raised LED Touch Up Powder Coat Spray (matte black BK-59, 12 oz). It is made for light to medium scratches on powder-coated surfaces only, not bed liner or raw steel.

KICK-OUT / POWDER COATED / POWDER COAT FILL PLATE / Threaded

The product is impeccable, but what truly stood out was the customer service—it was absolutely above and beyond!

Unfortunately, there were some delays with shipping, but the team did an amazing job keeping me informed throughout the process. They consistently updated me and made sure I knew that my order was on its way. They were also very prompt with their email responses and genuinely made sure I was happy with the experience.

Even with the shipping delay, their communication, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction made such a positive impression. I truly appreciate the effort they put into making sure everything worked out. Highly recommend!

Charisse, thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad you’re happy with the Step Edition Rock Sliders, and even more glad our team kept you updated and supported throughout the shipping delay. We really appreciate your patience, your recommendation, and the kind words about our customer service.

Very well-made product -- good materials and manufacturing. Could not install the blind bolts adequately from the online video, so listing here what I did to install. Used medium thread locker on the bolt portion in contact with the supplied flange nut. Laid each rail on floor aligned below installation points. Lifted front of rail by hand to connect the two front bolts to frame to stabilize and support that end of the rail. Tightened only enough to have rail contact frame at that point. Lifted rear of rail by hand (stabilized by front bolts) and sit it on jack stand to align the two rear horizontal mounting slots with holes in frame. With flange nut on end of blind bolts and two washers on each bolt, inserted and rotated 180 the two rear most blind bolts into holes, shaking them to assure engagement of the toggle piece. Applied medium thread locker to part of bolt to be used by flange nut. Hand tightened flange nut holding bolt in place with 90 deg screwdriver until the rail in contact with frame. Removed jack stand since remaining holes are now aligned. Installed remaining blind bolts to hand tight using same method. For each blind bolt, placed ratcheting box end 15mm wrench on flange nut, temporarily added two jam nuts (M10 x 1.5 w/ 17mm head) to tighten together at tip of blind bolt so to bind with and lock with the bolt. Held bolt at fixed desired rotation angle (observing the slot at end) by open end 17mm wrench on middle nut (the inner jam nut added) while easily tightening the supplied flange nut to desired torque of a little less than 18 ft-lbs. Used the second 17mm open end wrench to loosen the jam nuts and then removed them by hand for use on the next bolt. Jam nuts had to be used since I could not keep the screwdriver from rotating when attempting to tighten the blind bolts with a wrench. The jam nuts worked great and allowed for easy installation of a great product.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, Chip. We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the materials, manufacturing, and overall quality of the Step Edition Rock Sliders. We also appreciate you taking the time to document the installation challenges you ran into with the blind bolts and where the online video could use more detail.

Replaced running boards with these on 2025 ORP, which required blind bolts in all but front two holes, vertical bolts. Required 6 blind bolts per side. The driver side cover plate rear-most mounting hole did not fully align with hole in the tube bracket. The drain hole near that mounting hole also was sitting on top of instead of in front of the tubes bracing member holding the mating bracket. I suspect that the welded tubular brace and its cover bracket were about 1/16 to 1/8 inch out of intended tolerance range. All bolts were installed before tightening any. The misaligned drain hole that sit on the brace deformed from a cone shape to flat and the bolts tightened at an angle but all went in, so install was still okay without modifications. The install instructions were online only and did not cover the detail needed, so I'll describe what I did. I used medium thread locker on all bolts. Laid the rail on floor. Lifted the front of rail by hand to insert front two bolts and tightened only enough for rail to make contact with vehicle. With front stabilized by two bolts, raised the rear of rail and sit it on jack stand until the horizontal mounting slots aligned with rear holes in frame. Inserted the rear two blind bolts and rotated and shook to engage toggle. Applied thread locker and hand-tightened nut holding bolt steady with 90 degree screwdriver until rail was in contact with frame. Now all other holes are aligned with frame holes. Repeated the hand tightening process until all bolts were in place. Since I could not achieve desired torque while holding bolt with screwdriver, left the ratcheting box end 15mm wrench on the supplied flange nut and then applied the tip I found on 4runner6g of temporarily adding two jam nuts (M10 x 1.5) to the tip of the blind bolt, tightening these together with two 17mm open end wrenches so they would bind with the blind bolt to hold it in place instead of screwdriver. While holding the middle nut (the inner jam nut) with 17mm open end wrench) to keep blind bolt in position, was able to easily tighten to recommended 18 ft-lb torque the supplied flange nut with the 15mm ratcheting wrench, while keeping the blind bolt in perfect position. Using the two 17mm open end wrenches, loosened the jam nuts and then removed them by hand to use on next blind bolt. The process worked great and then I installed the supplied cover plates and had issue with only one hole on one side but was easily resolved by allow bolts to be installed at slight angle. The installation is "rock" solid and looks great. Excellent materials and manufacturing.

Kernie, thanks for the detailed review. We’re glad the Step Edition Rock Sliders feel rock solid and that you’re happy with the materials, construction, and finished look on your 2025 4Runner. We also appreciate you calling out the alignment issue and the areas where the online instructions could be more detailed.

Amazing quality, great customer service,

Amazing quality, great customer service, and free shipping. Thanks guys, the rails are perfect!

Great looking high quality, heavy weight, clean welds and powdercoat finish.

Thanks, Clifford! Glad to hear the Step Edition Rock Sliders impressed you with the build quality, clean welds, and powder coat finish. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Solid construction. Blind bolts no

Solid construction.
Blind bolts no my 6G4R TRD ORP are suboptimal but thanks for creating that solution - seems to work fine (wish the bolts and washers were black however - they are visible from the side and look a little goofy. )
I think the sliders should extend just a bit farther forward and back. They probably will be sufficiently protective but seem to be leaving a bit of a gap.
Very happy with functionality as a step - almost as good as the running boards that came on my ORP.
Free shipping is a difference maker!

They should include torque specs.

They should include torque specs. I shouldn’t have to chase after to find out.

Well Built, Great Customer Service!

Looks good and easy install. Would suggest maybe a 5-10° angle to preserve the step but stronger rock rails? 25° is great for off-loading but horrible step, 0° is a great step, but sticks out alot.
