(2016-current) 3rd Gen Tacoma Bolt-On Step Sliders
Fabricated with the same mounting system and strength as our rock sliders, but with a 0º outer tube for easy access into the Tacoma's cab.
Defending the most vulnerable areas of your Tacoma, BudBuilt sliders are engineered to protect both rocker panel and frame alike. As with all BudBuilt products, our sliders are CAD designed by mechanical engineers, with specialties in material science and failure analysis. Combining formal education with decades of engineering and hard-core rock crawling experience, BudBuilt has the proven edge to make products the best they can be.
BudBuilt sliders begin with the strongest foundation in the industry, 3/8" thick, solid steel plate that running the entire height of the frame rail. This foundation works in conjunction with additional 3/8" plates that mount on the back and inside of the frame rail. Massive 5/8" grade 8 hardware "sandwich" the outer and inner 3/8" plates to the Tacoma's frame. This industry exclusive design provides an absolutely rock solid surface for the sliders to be built on. We have seen too many frames buckled inward from other sliders that do not distribute the Toyota's crushing load appropriately. Don't be fooled by "c clamp" designs that offer zero clamping force to the frame, or mounting designs that only distribute the impact load across small clamps or u-bolts, adding unnecessary stress to the frame.
Seven 1.75" .120 steel legs with five reinforcing gussets solidly mounts the frame plate to the main tube. We choose this design for its superior strength qualities over four leg designs, regardless of round of square tubing. Our main tube is constructed of 2" .120 steel tube, providing a rock solid, smooth sliding surface, while not loosing additional ground clearance that 3"x2" rectangular tube causes while providing no noticeable real-word strength increase. Angled 20° upward from the main tube, the outer tube is constructed of 1.75" .120 steel tube with smooth angles to stand up to constant abuse and not hang up on rocks. Four (4) additional reinforcement 1.5" .120 steel tube legs tie the main and outer tubes together, creating a total of six (6) connecting points. This design further increases rigidity and strength across the entire slider. Total distance from the Tacoma's frame to the outer tube is 15.5".
BudBuilt sliders are designed and manufactured in house from pure American steel. We will never use lower grade Chinese or Indian raw materials
100% bolt on, no drilling, no welding, no modifications to the frame
Unique mounting system provides unsurpassed rigidity and strength during hard impacts
Mounted with massive 5/8" grade 8 bolts and ultra thick washers

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.
Diamond Plate
Diamond plate offers a superior traction surface with the classic feel of strength and authority.
Dimple Die Up
Dimple Die Up is our modern take on diamond plate. Evenly spaced 2" laser cut holes are individually pressed to giving dimension and purpose. Once orientated up, form joins function, and the pressed edges offer a high traction step surface.
Dimple Die Down
Dimple Die Down offers modern, aggressive styling. Evenly spaced 2" laser cut holes are individually pressed to giving dimension and purpose. Once orientated down, this fill plate offers a unique, race inspired form.
