Can You Get Affordable Rock Sliders Without Sacrificing Quality?
If you wheel a 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner you already know that trail armor is a must. But let’s be real: between lift kits, wheels, racks, and recovery gear, the budget can get tight. So the big question is, can you get affordable 5th Gen 4Runner rock sliders that still hold up to serious off-road abuse? At RSG Offroad, we say absolutely.
Our sliders are built here in the U.S., engineered for strength, and designed with trail-tested geometry that won’t let you down. Whether you're just getting started or adding armor to a seasoned rig, our budget-conscious rock slider options give you premium protection without the premium markup.
🛞 Why Rock Sliders Are Non-Negotiable on the Trail
- Protect Your Body Panels: from impacts and abrasions
- Serve as a Step: for daily driving and roof access

- Add Rigidity: to your frame on aggressive terrain
Affordable doesn’t mean flimsy — especially not at RSG. Our entry-level options still use high-grade DOM steel and are precision-welded to fit your 5th Gen 4Runner like a glove.
