Running Boards / Rock Sliders recommendations for TRD Pro

Does it come with hardware like nutserts/blind bolts included in case there are not threaded holes? I think Westcott and Cali Raised include them.

As it pertains to Westcott Designs slider hardware, this is what comes in the box if you request hardware for a threaded hole installation. Picture shows what is needed for 1 side of the vehicle. I was surprised that per side you only use 3 of the threaded holes. (I think I counted 9 threaded holes on each side of the vehicle frame.) The 2 rivnuts are threaded, but they obviously create their own threads. Then there are 3 contraptions that I will call blind bolts which go in unthreaded holes. That’s 8 fasteners per side.

So out of 18 total threaded holes you end up only using 6 of them.

I removed my stock Rock Sliders on my '25 Trailhunter and installed the DV8 Off Road side steps and I couldn't be happier!!! Sturdy, bigger step surface and more affordable !! Super simple install too. Well worth the purchase!

Did you have to move any wires or anything else during install? On their reviews on the website someone mentioned on drivers side having to move some wires around. Or was it just a direct Bolt on ?

They were direct bolt on. The drivers side had some wires that were close, but no issues getting the bolts to line up.. Very straightforward install.

I haven’t bought yet so appreciate everyone’s suggestions. I’ve been tempted by Greenlane Offroad’s ones because they are aluminum. Not much cost savings off the Westcott ones, but the lighter weight intrigues me.

They don’t advise using them as jack points but say they do support the weight of the car and as someone who doesn’t go very hardcore they sound like a good compromise between weight and protection. Am curious if anyone has tried them!
