2016+ Tacoma Rock Rail, for Access Cab and Double Cab Short Bed
Built upon the same incredible mounting design as our rock sliders, the BudBuilt 3rd Gen Tacoma Rock Rail offers incredible bottom out protection with as little weight added as possible. When navigating the backcountry, a good amount of drivers are not worries about sliding into a tree or tackling 2' boulders. Where the real issue is, is simply bottoming out the Tacoma due to the long wheelbase. So we changed the location and angle of where the main tube (the tube that sits under the pinch seam) sits to give protection right to the edge of the door seam. This allows easy access to step into the cab, full protection of the rock panel area, and frees up payload weight for other equipment.
100% Bolt-On and 100% Reversible, no drilling, no cutting, no welding
Drop on rocks with the same crushing blows as our rock sliders
Weights 69 pounds less than our rock sliders fill plates
3/8" thick, full frame height and full frame length mounting plates protects the frame from impact transfer load, a feature not available anywhere else in the industry
Solid jack/lifting point
Only round tubing used for its superior strength and sliding ability over square tubing
Background
We get a call from a group of our southern California customers who use their Tacomas to tow or haul their dirt bikes out to their favorite riding sites. Due to the Tacoma's long wheelbase and the terrain, the trucks would bottom out regularly going up and over steep hills. They were basically falling on the frames, then powering through. One day, one of those Tacoma's bottomed out like normal, but a rock was half buried in the dirt. It was sticking up just enough to punch in the rocker panel. They asked if we could make something to protect the rock panel area, mount like a true rock slider, but not weight much, and not get in the way when stepping into the truck (for those that don't like stepping on rock sliders to get into the cab). So we took our proven rock slider design, messed with the positions of the tubing till we came up with this. During testing, it worked well, maybe a little too well. We hope you enjoy it, as much as we did by helping some great guys out.
Hot Rolled Electrically Welded (HREW) -
132
pounds (60kg) per pair (2)
Recommend for all-around strength and protection from trail riding and overland expeditions. HREW is more than capable of being dragged, banged, and hit against large flat rocks, trees, and during bottom-out situations.
A specific type of welding process that involves both spot and seam welding. Seam welding is commonly used during the manufacturing of round tubing
. The steel strip is unwound from coils and side-trimmed to control width and condition the edges for welding. The strip then passes through a series of contoured rollers which cold-form the material into a circular shape. The edges are forced together under pressure as a butt joint and then welded by heating the material to temperatures above 2000° F. The flash weld that has formed is now removed from the outside diameter of the tube. Once the weld has been tested the tube then passes through a series of sizing rolls to attain its precise finished size, after which the tube is then straightened and cut to length.
Drawn Over Mandrel (DOM)
-
132
pounds (60kg) per pair (2)
Recommended for use in rock crawling applications, where hard impacts from the sharp edges of a rock is likely to occur. DOM offers off-roaders and overlanders a better "dent resistant" metal process as compared to HREW.
Technically, DOM is not a type of steel tube, but rather the process in which the tube is finished. It is considered a high quality tube. The first stages of manufacturing are identical to ones used to make HREW tube, but in the finishing stages, the entire flash weld is removed and the tube is cold drawn over a mandrel. The cold drawn process provides the tube with better dimensional tolerances, improved surface finish and the strongest weld strength achievable.
