How much? Doesn't look like there is lot of steel there.

Got mine for around $300 bucks, but currently listing price on 4wheelonline.com is $379 w/ free shipping. They have similar construction to the NFAB rock rails for the FJ TRD package.

Do you have any picks of how they mount to the bottom of your rig?

I can post more pics after work. Do you need to see how much clearance it has with the road/ground?

I too would just like to see more pics from all angles (full side shot, full angled shots from the front and back, etc...).
For the price, (if these things are good quality) I may go this route since the removable step option looks appealing by making it easier for the lady to get in and out.

I want to see where and how they mount to the rig. (body or frame). Want to see if modification need to be done for LE/SR5 models.

There is no sliders/step/rail option for the TE that will fit on the SR5/LE trim without modifying it. None, zero, nada, doesn't exist. The very design of the the rocker requires a different mounting option and there is no way to make one that correctly fits both.

He is right. You either cut your SR5/LE rocker, which some have done on here, and install the TE sliders or get ones made for the SR5/LE rockers which sacrifice clearance.
Do a search and you'll come up with a numerous threads on the subject.

^^^^Rocky Road is the only one that makes real sliders for Limiteds/SR5's that fit without modifying the factory rocker panels. Their customer service and quality has come in to question more then once though.

Here are more pics.
Angled front
Angled rear
Bottom view
Ground clearance
Front forward
Front forward gap
Front
Head on
Head on view 2
Front mount
Middle mount
End mount
Install takes less than 20 minutes because the bolts are already on the rocker panel. You may need someone to help lift the sliders as you bolt them down. To install the steps, they bolt onto the slider itself (I didn't buy the steps).

I have never been able to access any of your pics and I even have a google account. Tried IE8,Mozilla and Chrome browsers.
Much easier to just get a free picture account from Photobucket or similar site.Are you making them public as private is the default. Then you can copy and paste the IMG code on the thread.Then the pic shows up with them hosting it and the right size.

Turns out those aren't a straight bolt on with the LE due to the X-REAS.

Post pics should now be viewable regardless of browser.

Looks like your hiding under the truck and the zombies are trying to get at you.

They look nice....but.....they are not frame mounted.
Can I ask why you bought them?
It does not look like the extend enough for a step. They are 'rock rails', how much pressure can they take before damaging where they are attached?
I guess that is the difference between sliders & rails.

My old man drives a TRD FJ with NFAB rock rails, and my bro drives a Wrangler with Shrockworks rock rails. I like both companies, but I just didn't want to wait 2 months for Shrockworks last year. That's why I bought the NFAB ones.
No, these don't extend as far out as the Shrockworks ones...so you can't really use these as a 'step'. If you need a step, then I'd recommend getting the running boards or a step-up. If you are trying to protect the truck from door dings, I can definitely tell you that these don't extend far out enough. You're better off parking far away and just walking.
As for the frame vs body mounted rock rails, that's one's personal preference and needs. I think what really matters is that you do have some sort of protection in that area than have none at all. Well, I really can't quantify how much pressure the rock rails can take because I haven't taken the truck rock crawling. But this is what could happen if you don't have anything:

Well, I just called N-Fab back and talked to sales this time. I asked if / when they were releasing the wheel to wheels for the SR5/Limited.
He told me he'd ask the Houston plant and get back with me, which he did. He said they ARE NOT doing them for the SR5 / Limited.
So there you have it. I've called 3 times. 2 times they said no, 1 time they said yes. Maybe I talked to the janitor that time. lol
