Wescott Designs 20 Degree Rock Sliders with KickOut installed photos & impressions

[4Funnr]

Do you find that these will effectively help prevent door dings when parked? Do they stick out far enough beyond the sides of the body? It looks like it from the photos but hard to tell.

I only think rock rails will help if a car is parked next to you, a truck or something taller I doubt will make a difference

With the 20 degree WD sliders, how much foot real estate do you have to step on when you need to reach things from front top section of the rig?

I wear a size 10 and can use the whole thing to reach onto the top or clean the windshield and such...

Thank you so much for the insight! Photos don’t really show how much foot space there is. I love the flow of the 20 degree, just wanna make sure I make the choice!

Yes I have the threaded holes but you still have to drill out existing holes for the underside bolts and use supplied rivnuts. The front ones are rough getting crimped, their 11/16th.

you have to drill out existing holes? You are not worried about frame rust in the future? Newbie question… is it normal to drill out holes to mount sliders, or only for these Westcotts?

I’m currently waiting on my order, same 20 degree set up with top plates from WD.
Removing predator steps from my TRD Pro (will be for sale) how was your experience installing nutserts?

You want to make sliders as sturdy as possible at as many points as you can, unfortunately there isn't always a factory hole where you need it so you have to drill holes. As far as rust, I always hit it with some paint to seal it back up before installing.

The large Nutserts are a PITA.... If you have access to a nutsert press I highly recommend it.

Paint won’t be enough to prevent rust. Auto mfgs have been galvanizing their bodies and frames before painting to prevent rust. Porsche pioneered that in the 1970s.
