Confidence Welded in Steel: The Ultimate Tacoma Armor | SSO Rock Sliders
Your Tacoma was built to survive run-ins with trees, boulders, and other vehicle doors, but its rocker panels are a magnet for damage that can cost thousands to repair. Stop worrying about that next obstacle that could ruin your trip and your truck's bodywork.
The Southern Style Offroad Rock Sliders are the solution, engineered to be the strongest, most reliable frame-mounted protection available. These aren't just for looks; they are trail-tested body armor designed to take the full weight of your truck and slide over obstacles, giving you the confidence to push your Tacoma to its absolute limits.
Lead Time 6–8 Weeks. SSO Tacoma Rock Sliders are built to order to ensure premium fit.
Key Benefits of the SSO Rock Sliders
-
✅ Prevent Costly Body Damage: Provides a robust shield for your rocker panels and doors, saving you from dents, dings, and crushing impacts on the trail.
-
✅ Confidence on Any Terrain: The rear kick-out design is perfect for pivoting around trees and fending off rocks in tight, technical sections, protecting your vulnerable rear quarter panels.
-
✅ Dual Functionality as a Step: The strong outer tube provides a solid platform for accessing your roof rack or simply getting in and out of the cab.
-
✅ Ready for a Hi-Lift: Engineered to be strong enough to support the entire weight of the vehicle, allowing you to use a Hi-Lift jack directly on the slider for recovery or tire changes.
-
💡 Heavy-Duty Materials: We use a combination of 3/16" wall structural square tubing for the main rail and .120 wall round tube for the outer rail, providing an optimal blend of rigidity and impact resistance.
-
💡 Precision Strength: The CAD-designed, laser-cut 3/16" thick support legs are fully gusseted, creating an incredibly rigid structure that won't flex or bend under extreme pressure.
-
💡 Hardcore Ready: While completely bolt-on for most uses, we advise drilling bottom pilot holes for those who plan on extreme off-road use, ensuring maximum strength when dropping the full weight of the truck onto an obstacle.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Do I have to drill into my truck's frame to install these sliders?
For standard use, no drilling is required as they are a bolt-on application. However, for heavy off-road use where you anticipate dropping the full weight of the truck on the sliders, we strongly advise drilling the bottom pilot holes for maximum strength and to prevent damage to the mounting hardware.
+ Can I get these without the powder coat finish?
While our standard offering comes in a durable matte black powder coat, we often have options for bare metal for customers who wish to do custom paint or coatings. Please contact our sales team to inquire about ordering bare steel sliders.
+ What is the kick-out for?
The kick-out is the portion of the slider near the rear wheel that extends outward. Its main purpose is to push your truck's rear end away from obstacles like trees or rocks as you move forward. This helps you pivot around tight corners on the trail and protects your rear quarter panel from damage.
+ How do I make sure I order the right sliders for my truck?
It is critical to select the correct configuration for your Tacoma. This set is designed to fit both the Double Cab Short Bed (DCSB) and the Access Cab Long Bed (ACLB). If you have a Double Cab Long Bed, you will need to order a different model. Please verify your truck's cab and bed size before placing your order.
