Yes it is, and I e-mailed them about a month ago asking about it, big shock, never got a response. I questioned the SR5 shown but only TE availability. I took a close look, it does not appear that they removed any trim pieces on the SR5 either. Oh well, some people want your money, others don't.

I remember reading that they did that for a show vehicle only and had no plans to make them again for the SR5/Limited. Lame :gun5:
Mine will fit on a SR5 or Limited. I modified my rockers for the set I have, but can make them so they will sit below rocker that has not been modified. I am leaving for a couple weeks on vacation but can try to get you more info when I return.
Hi,
Did you get them? If you don't mind, I'd love to see some pictures. I have some other questions too:
1) were they easy to install?
2) was the bolt on assembly included in the purchase?
3) do they function well as a step too?

Talked to Jim last Friday, I guess they had just sent them to Powdercoat. I have a feeling we are all gonna post pics up relativity at the same time, haha. There are quite a few up us waiting for them. Guess whoever gets them first will all depend on how close they are located to Shrockworks. But I as well as everyone else here waiting for them is very excited to know we are just a couple weeks away from being able to install on our rigs.

I'm interested to see how all these installs work out. I needsteps but want sliders, so at this point I'm not sold, but if they work out well for everyone else then great. You all must be super excited...I've been waiting for matts since March and am getting crazy about the wait.

Step 1: Take any necessary tool to install them and place in 4runner.
2: Take a trip to somewhere where cellphones don't work...go off roading
3: Install them
4: Go test them
5: Make sure to come back full of mud.
Your excuse is you got stuck somewhere remote until party was over. Darn!!

Looks like there are a couple options now for rockrails. Found this while searching the web. I don't like the steps, but it is nice they give the option for those who might.

You will get a separate e-mail with generic 4th Gen instructions from Shrockworks.
You will need a 12,13 and 14mm wrench/socket and a floor jack or couple of friends with 3 arms each to lift it into place.
For your TE, unless your gas tank is almost completely empty you will need to remove the gas tank skid so you can support the gas tank.If your gas tank is almost empty just take out the 12mm outboard tank skid bolts and work with that side hanging down like you see in the pic.
The reason is, the drivers side rear slider leg goes under the front outboard gas tank strap. If you take out that bolt the weight of the gas will start to drop the tank down in the front and stress the rear gas tank strap and the tank ,if you know what I mean.
See in my pics how I supported it with a block of wood. I started to take that strap bolt out and I could see and hear the gas tank straining. Of course I hade over 3/4 tank of gas and 17+gallons of gas is heavy.
Line up front leg of slider with the frame crossmember and other then that pretty straight forward ,line up bolts/washers with holes and nuts already in the frame.Just a word of caution is these sliders are very thick walled tubing/brackets and are very heavy.
Here is a pic and link with pics to show what I'm talking about.

After looking at HARPER7's picture and comparing it to my TE (with KDSS) I'm a bit concerned.... It seems that the KDSS system is mounted on the outside of the drivers side frame. HARPER7's frame is completely clear. I'm concerned that the shrockwork mounting points may interfer with the KDSS...
Any idea if Shrockworks considered the KDSS system?

No worries,...... They took that into account and designed for it. Remember ,these are made for TE's and one with KDSS was used as the tester and is pictured on their website.
You can see the bolt holes in that pic where your KDSS reservoir bolts to the frame.
