Heavy Duty Sliders for 6th Gen 4Runner
If you’re building your 6th Gen 4Runner for serious trail use, one of the first upgrades you should consider is a set of heavy duty sliders. While factory steps or side rails might help you into the cab, they offer little to no real protection when your rig meets boulders, ledges, or deep ruts.
Westcott Designs™ rock sliders are engineered to be more than just armor, they’re an investment in the longevity, capability, and resale value of your 4Runner. Proudly USA-made, they combine trail-tested durability with features designed for everyday convenience.
Why Heavy Duty Sliders Are a 4Runner Essential
The trails are unforgiving. Without proper protection, your rocker panels can take thousands in damage in a single misstep. Heavy duty sliders act as a barrier between your 4Runner’s body and the terrain.
Key benefits of heavy duty sliders:
-
Impact Protection – Distribute force from rocks, logs, and obstacles away from your body panels.
-
Structural Strength – Double as frame reinforcements during high-load scenarios.
-
Recovery Advantage – Provide a solid jack point for Hi-Lift or bottle jacks on the trail.
-
Everyday Functionality – Step assistance for loading roof racks or helping passengers in/out.
For overlanders, weekend warriors, and hardcore rock crawlers, sliders are not optional — they’re vital.
Westcott Designs’ Engineering Advantage
Westcott Designs™ heavy duty sliders are not mass-produced imports — they’re precision-built in Phoenix, AZ by off-road enthusiasts who test their products in real-world conditions.
Why Westcott Designs™ sliders stand out:
-
Material Quality – DOM steel tubing for maximum strength-to-weight ratio.
-
Precision Welds – TIG and MIG welding ensure consistent structural integrity.
-
Kick-Out Option – Helps pivot around obstacles and provides extra step space.
-
Multiple Coating Options – Raw, powder-coated, or bedliner finishes for custom durability.
-
Bolt-On Fitment – Designed specifically for the 2025 6th Gen 4Runner, no drilling required.
Each slider is CAD-designed for exact fitment, meaning it hugs your rocker panels without sacrificing clearance.
Trail-Tested Strength Meets Daily Drive Convenience
Not every slider is built for both off-road abuse and city life. Westcott Designs™ sliders are versatile — rugged enough for the Rubicon Trail, yet sleek enough to complement your 4Runner’s daily driver look.
Real-world advantages:
-
Perfect for loading rooftop tents, kayaks, or cargo boxes
-
Adds side-door protection in parking lot dings
-
Won’t rattle, flex, or rust under normal use
-
Designed to integrate seamlessly with other WD 4Runner upgrades
This balance makes them the go-to choice for owners who demand performance without compromise.
