I would say these kind of defeat the purpose of having rock sliders in the first place. They would ruin your higher clearence and be huge chunks for rocks to catch on and break instead of "sliding" like the sliders are meant for.
That's the point of having them detachable. Take them off before you go off roading or rocking.

Plus, I'm tired of hauling a footstool around so the little lady can get in the truck (mine isn't even lifted - it's stock).
Exactly. Should take 5 minutes to take them off before going offroad.

Ruissimo - are those the Toyota OEM rock rails you have on your Trail Hunter? I have the OEMs on my TRD OffRoad but I want to make sure they fit before I order them. The measurements on the Amazon link don't seem accurate.

It looks like I have about 13.5" between the mounting holes on my rails. Can someone on this thread confirm the width of these steps?

Thanks!
I didn't see this. Yes, they're the OEM rock rails that come with the trailhunter.

I ordered a set of four of them. They are very solid, and they look great. However, please note that there may be 1/4" of a gap between the step mount and the mount where you bolt them to the OEM Rock Rails (see picture). I have tightened them as much as possible, but there is still a small gap. Regardless of that small gap, they are very sturdy and they do not move around at all.

I would buy them again. They work perfectly. See pix for the small gap when mounting them

Measurements are 9.5" wide x 4.5" deep and the drop down is about 1.5"

Could you mount it to the other side of the slider plate? Looks like it is hitting the welds from the angles/images shared.

I think you are right @Cabby30 - it does appear to be hitting the welds.

The problem is, the distance between the brackets on the step are such that, even when I move it to mount it differently, one side is going to be hitting a weld.

The steps don't fit evenly between the slider plates. One step bracket is on the inside of the slider plate, and the other step bracket is on the outside of the slider plate - no matter which way I move them. I know it sounds confusing, but does that make sense? I've only installed the front two so far. I plan to install the back two this weekend. I'm curious if the measurements between the slider plates on the back is going to be the same. We'll see.

I'm curious if @Chip had the same experience. From what I can see in his photos, I don't see a gap.

Either way, I like them and I would recommend them for purchase.
