Rocky Road Outfitters Bolt On Sliders // 1st Gen Sequoia 

I almost didn't make this video but I'm glad I did. An overwhelming amount of people in the comment section have also had a lousy experience with this company.

Man, you just saved me from making a HUGE mistake on my 4Runner. THX!

I was looking at these for for my 5th gen Ram Rebel and seriously considering them. I kept looking for detailed mounting instructions, but never saw that they mounted to the frame. Now I understand why I couldn't find it. You saved me a lot grief, brother.

Thank you for doing this. I’ve been thinking about getting these too. I’ll definitely be skipping these!

That's a shame; both how they treated you and how poorly their product held up. Thanks for the video.

Good thing I just watched this, I almost bought some. Think I will go the other route now.

Wife just got a Sequoia and we are doing an Overland build and saw these steps and your review. We won't be doing anything remotely close to what yours went through but false guarantees and poor customer service are enough for me to find another solution. Thanks for the video!

I was considering these for my tacoma, thank you for detailing your experience.

THX for the Vid! I was about to pull the trigger on these and thought I would search the tube for some reviews..Glad I did.

Was seriously considering these. Thanks man.

I've watched the Rubicon trip and many others you have put out. I was wondering when you were going to give an update. Saving me quite a bit, tundra and a sequoia build. Thank you.

Really glad you made this video! I was looking to get a pair of sliders for my f150 from them... not anymore! Thanks!

Wow thank you for this video, Subscribed! I don't own a Sequoia, but I was thinking about buying some sliders from them. Glad I won't be spending $1K plus on them. Thanks again.

I have the exact same sliders - and yes they are beautiful. And yes, they are not what RRO described for real world use. At first I was looking for side steps that would help with some off-roading versus being an issue and for that they are fine. However- I have a week long overlanding trip scheduled for this June through the Rockies and had getting these welded on my "to do" list for prep. I will move that up on the list now, thank you. I also experienced their terrible customer service as one slider was received damaged (forklift gash right on top where you would step) and the response was identical to what you said. I had to threaten legal action to get the slider replaced.

Thanks for saving me the time and money. Thanks for you vids!

So close. Someone on facebook mentioned they awesome. Lucky i saw this

Thank you for this video. You just saved me a bunch of time and money on buying the wrong product.

Yooooo! I'm in Santa Barbara! Just saw you're in SLO. Anyways, I have the exact same sliders on my 06 Sequoia. Bought mine 1.5 years ago. The rear passenger door on mine won't open right after installation (didn't even beat it up). I emailed them and they suggested washers as well. They also didn't powder-coat my driver-side slider very well and it's now rusting on the edges. I agree, they are a horrible company!

They look awesome I live in Louisiana we don't really have mountains lol our or tracks are usually mud I'm look for something in this style I'll keep looking

Gosh darn it, I just received mine today and was looking for an install video. I ain't even opened them up yet!

Thanks for the information, great to know these companies don't support there small customer base. 👍

I’m hoping to slap some together myself. Just ordered spindle gussets and alignment tabs!! Gonna do timing belt asap then hopefully hit some trails

Thanks for the review. You just saved me $1200 on sliders for my 2022 Tundra.

I’m so glad you did this video. They make some really good looking sliders for a lot of vehicles but when they we’re saying bolt on I thought they ment to the frame so you didn’t have to weld. These are a no go for me

Thank you for posting this, I was just about to order them next month. Now I am NOT!

I am running bolt on sliders, but they bolt to the frame. Done some moderate trail running. Dragged them on gold mountain and they held up. I believe how they mount is the issue. But yeah, dedicated crawlers weld on for a reason.

I hate to see this....I've often wanted to buy products from Rocky Road Outfitters (for my Samurai) but their ridiculously long lead times and non-existent customer service record makes them a no go. I actually remember seeing the owner (Glenn Wakefield IIRC) on an episode of House Hunters International where he was buying a home in Mexico. Five months to get a set of sliders?....did he have to mine the ore and process it? That is just B.S. The reality is a LOT of off road business are robbing Peter to pay Paul. They wait until they get enough orders or monies to come in to do a production run and lie about why they can't deliver. They have nothing on the shelf. They are usually cut off by their suppliers so they are on COD. Any company that takes five months to deliver sliders is in a financial crunch and utilizing questionable business practices to keep the doors open.

Thanks for the heads up

My buddy had the same issue, the rear doors would rub on the sliders right when mounting them, nothing we adjusted would help with this.

I'm looking for some sliders for a Ford F250 Superduty (no hard wheeling; just a little protection for the fire roads and backcountry camping). Found the Rocky Road Outfitters body mounted sliders and so started searching for reviews and found this. Looks like they would work for my non-heavy use, but a company's customer service is a good measure of them as a whole. I'll cross Rocky Road Outfitters off my list and keep looking. Thanks for posting. We went with Westcott Design sliders for our 4runner, which bolt to the frame, and love them. Once installed, I had a clearance question regarding the emergency brake line and a question of how to care for a superficial scuff from shipping company handling so I emailed them. That day, Jeff himself called me and answered all my questions and took care of everything. I'm in the process of begging Westcott to make sliders for the Ford Superduty. Ha. (If anyone else is looking for superduty sliders, please email westcott! the more people they hear from the more likely they are to introduce them. Thanks!)

Glad I found this video. I was about to pull the trigger on a pair. :0

Great video I was looking at these now I’ll be looking elsewhere!

Great information 👌. I have a 2002 Sequoia currently looking for rock sliders 🤙! Looking at coastal off-road or brute Force?

Rocky road outfitters seems to be trash on quality of product and what they consider customer service. Thanks for the heads up and the testing. They could have made them attach to the frame as most every other company does. My money will go elsewhere. Thanks again for the update Phinn

Damn that’s sucks bro, I have weld on rock sliders from Brute force fab. They held up well when I went to rubicon Trail, and bold mountain.

I wondering how many have been waiting for these sliders to arrive. I’ve been waiting for my set since Nov and last told bout month more to complete and then travel time to ship. Anyone had issues with these being installed and hitting the rear door on sliders with no rock impacts. Heard couple people talk of it.

My man has a good attitude he's just wanting what he paid for.

Ill be taking them off my short list now

Finn I am surprised you bought bolt on rock slides. I've watched you weld and fabricate some cool stuff on here.

I say screw them I was about to buy rock sliders and skid plates. Nope not anymore thanks for video saved me from headache!

That's a pain to deal with, and it's unfortunate that you didn't catch wind of the product's reputation before getting it!

I unfortunately have a vehicle that requires bolt on sliders due to it being a unibody (04 montero limited). Its week 15 & $900 later, these sliders still havent shipped. Its unfortunately looking very grim for me & at this point I'm just hoping they at least show up & fit correctly

They look like nice sliders, get some tube and weld them to the frame, problem solved. It's kind of crazy to think sliders bolted to the body for as hard as you use them would hold up.

Surprised you didn’t get the Coastal Offroad sliders

Do you daily drive this suv ?

Thank you! I was about to send them $2500.

Thank you. I was ready to order these. I will not be buying Rocky Road I was really liking their warranty but not pinch weld mounting points.

Added to the list of reasons I won't be buying from them. I have a KL Cherokee trailhawk, and was looking to get some rock rails. I was comparing these to the Mopar ones, but when I saw how exposed the RRO made the pinch weld vs. being completely protected with the Mopar ones my mind was pretty well made up. I've read a few bad reviews abut this company on top of this vid, so they won't be getting my money.

hey man, just watched this video if you are still looking for a real set of frame mounted bolt on rock sliders give us a shout and we can work on getting you a set installed on your rig.

I don't think they should be welded, but they should be bolted at least.

I mean that's the point of rock sliders... To get beaten. I was tempted at first, but I thought I'll wait for your "real" review and reconcile with the price... Sorry that you had to be the guinea pig for such a product but it's thanks to you that many will steer away from this company's product. I actually deleted the bookmark a couple months back thinking.. My Tacoma had welded rock sliders why would I get bolt on? haha

I'm really surprised they're body mounted.

Thank you for sharing. they just lost another customer.

Thanks. Wont be ordering from them.

Thanks for this...will stay away from them for sure. I seriously considered them too, Ram 1500 (6'4" bed w/33g tank), as no one really makes anything for my application (true frame mount). I even talked to a local 4x4 shop this week to see what they can do to help, and I mentioned this brand and he just laughed. Said they used to deal with them but they recently gave up due to their horrible customer service, lead times, and lack of communication. So...add that on top of quality issues (that I am seeing)...no thanks, will pass. Let me know if you know or have heard about anyone supporting my vehicle with true rails! Would be greatly appreciated. This video needs to bee seen more by the community BTW.

I’m surprised you opted for bolt on too, with your skill set you could’ve…. We’ll you know the rest…. Sorry to hear though. Still waiting on that rubicon video…

14 attachment points.....to sheet metal??? You cannot ever turn off your brain, even with a guarantee

The moment I saw the thumbnail, I knew those were not rock sliders lol they should be ashamed of themselves for even labeling them as “sliders”

I bought their lift kit. I was not impressed at all with customer service, quality control, or design engineering. Their website is horribly designed as well. Their product pages are a mess to get through and confusing.

5 months? That was the first red flag. Will be passing on this brand. Not even cuz of the failed prod. I can’t stand horrible customer service.

The company, rocky road outfitters is a joke. Out right con job hacks.

They don't say anything on there website about months long wait time. I ordered sliders for my GMC mid December, still not shipped. The Email I get in return is, we got overwhelmed by orders we are getting caught up on October orders in December. I wonder if I can just cancel my order, now without paying any fees for them using my money for three months.

........Power Wagon don't care. Perhaps some frame mounted sliders would have been the way to go......
