Do the sliders fit TE w/ kdss?

Currently i do not have a set designed to fit around the KDSS. I have been able to get ahold of a 4runner that has KDSS to take measurements and build a set. If you are really interested in getting a set from me i would be willing to work with you through pictures and measurements provided by you to make a set that works with KDSS. Of course for your participation and help out with that i would offer you a discounted price. Let me know what you think, thanks!

So after constantly bending our NFAB steps that we loved and replacing them twice it was time to upgrade to sliders... but to be honest we felt that none of the ones on the market had practical step pads that also looked nice. So we searched and searched and talk to countless fabricators and ran into C4 Fab and after seeing their previous work we decided to see what they can make for our 4runner.

Instructions wise install is straight to the point... but we will put together the best instructions we can and post them shortly
They bolt to the side of the frame... with around 10-15 bolts on both the driver side and passenger side.

The Fuel Tank Skid plate bolts directly to the same mounting points that the stock skid mounted to.

Below I will post virtually all of our shots of the paint process as well as our install.

This pic is after install to show the overall look and feel please give us your honest thoughts -

After first primer coat -

After 2nd and 3rd primer coat -

Close up of the welds after final primer coat -

Test fit while still in primer coat -

Applying several coats of Dupli Color "storm gray metallic" -

After 3 coats of "storm gray metallic" -

Close up of the storm gray metallic color after our 3rd coat and a few coats of clear coat -

The next day we decided to color match our sr5 wheels to this color... so ofcourse we used the rock sliders to lift the truck =p -

they may fit 10-13, i cant be sure because i do not have one of those year 4runners to perform a test fit. If you could post up some pics of the sides of the framerails on your 13, it would help determine whether they would fit or not. It would be great to get you into a set, and i will work with you on price if you are willing to take some of your time to send me pictures and measurements to find out if they will work!

This is a product that i started offering for the 05-11 tacomas and realized that it also fits the 03-09 4runners. I need to start another thread with photos and info for the 4th gen 4runner guys!

10-13 Trails w/o KDSS should be the exact same fitment as 14+ SR5 or Trail w/o KDSS

The 10-13 SR5 rocker panel trim dropped down lower so you'd either have to remove, cut, or replace with 10-13 trail rocker trim to make it fit and look right.

Now I don't know this stuff 100% but is what I have gathered from looking at and talking to the other companies that make sliders for the 5th gen.

I am 90% positive they should fit fine and I would love to see pics of them on an early 5th gen

i think you are correct with all of that info, that is what i have gathered so far from my own research.
