Thank you! I am not sure quite yet where I will head with it. If the bumpers were not such a long back order it would be more of an impulse buy.
BudBuilt bump out sliders
- Thread starter brockeverly
- Start date
Having just installed mine, I can tell you that the regulars are very heavy duty. I wouldnt recommend the beefy unless you do really aggressive rock crawling on a regular basis. The regulars will more than meet my needs for what I want to run.

I have a feeling an order will be place soon for these. Today parked the truck at work and a co-worker opened a door next to me and the wind caught it. The door was blown open into my driver door leaving a small dent and crease in the skin. Shrockworks sliders don't stick out far enough and think the Bud's would have saved me.
I had a cart blown straight into the side of my truck. was very glad to have the sliders on. Only issue i've had with the sliders is the back of my pant legs get a little dirty sometimes.

****ty. I watched a soccer mom fling her door open into my slider a couple weeks agoand dent the hell out of her door. She was pissed off looking at the damage as i walked up laughing. She said something as i jumped in the truck, i just laughed and said you didnt care about my door when you flung yours open, why would i care about yours? Enjoy your dent!

So regarding the door thing...
I just drove my 2008 Honda Accord up to the next of my 4runner and the Shrockworks sliders were enough to stop the door from hitting the 4runner. It leaves about a 1" gap between the edge of the Accord's and the 4runner's.
Hopefully then the Shrockworks protrude enough to stop most passenger vehicle doors.

If you have a TE, no you don't. However with an SR5 or LTD you will have to remove or trim the rocker panel.
And welcome!
Thanks for the welcome! I do have the SR5 so how many inches of the rocker comes off?

Here is a how-to that Antman did a while back. This is for n-fab's though (although I am sure the amount you trim would be comparable).

I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that has trimmed rockers for budbuilts, most just remove them altogether or just have a trail (or trail rocker panels).
If you have a black truck, it isn't very noticeable if you just remove them altogether (check RiDE's build).
Another option is to add the trail rocker panels to your truck (check Okki's build for this one)

Can I use these things as a jack point for a hi-lift?

Yep, but I would recommend fabbing or purchasing an adapter like this:
Just ordered them. Thanks!
