C4 Fabrication 4th Gen Tacoma Rock Sliders

The C4 Fabrication 4th Gen Tacoma Rock Sliders are bolt-on frame-mounted sliders built for 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Short Bed trucks equipped with the iForce 4-cyl Turbo (automatic transmission) or iForce MAX Hybrid (automatic transmission). A 2"×2" square-tube main rail reinforced with 1-3/4" OD DOM round tubing forms the core structure, and stainless steel traction inserts on the step plates give a reliable foothold in wet or muddy conditions. Available in Raw or Powder Coat finish.

Frame-Side and Bottom Mounting for Maximum Strength

The mounting plates on these rock sliders attach to both the side and the bottom of the Tacoma's frame rather than to a single face. That two-plane connection distributes lateral and vertical impact loads across a wider area of the frame rail, so a hard rock strike or a high-centering event is less likely to twist or shear the mount loose. No drilling or welding is required. The sliders are fully bolt-on, and all installation hardware is included.

Step Plates Positioned at Each Door Opening

The step plates are placed at the opening point of each cab door, so they function as a practical step for getting in and out of the truck on the trail, not just as trail armor. Stainless steel traction inserts are built into each plate to reduce slippage in dusty or wet conditions.

Finish Options and Bare-Steel Care

The Powder Coat variant ships ready to install directly from the manufacturing facility. The Raw variant ships as bare steel and must be painted or powder coated before installation to prevent rust. C4 Fabrication recommends test-fitting the sliders before applying any coating to confirm alignment and fitment first.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

These rock sliders suit 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Short Bed owners running the iForce 4-cyl Turbo or iForce MAX Hybrid with an automatic transmission who want frame-mounted trail protection that also serves as a cab step, with no cutting or welding required.

These sliders are not confirmed to fit Tacoma models with a manual transmission, any Tacoma cab or bed configuration other than Double Cab Short Bed, or any prior Tacoma generation. Raw-finish buyers should plan for painting or powder coating before installation; the sliders cannot be installed bare and left uncoated without risking rust.

Common Questions

Do these sliders require any cutting, drilling, or welding?

The C4 Fabrication 4th Gen Tacoma Rock Sliders are fully bolt-on. The mounting plates attach to the side and bottom of the Tacoma's frame using the included hardware, and no cutting, drilling, or welding is required for installation.

Will these fit a Tacoma with a manual transmission?

C4 Fabrication has confirmed fitment only for the iForce 4-cyl Turbo and iForce MAX Hybrid with automatic transmissions. Fitment with a manual transmission has not been confirmed, so manual-transmission Tacoma owners should contact TerrainVault before ordering.

What is the difference between the Raw and Powder Coat finish options?

The Powder Coat option ships finished and ready to install. The Raw option ships as bare steel, which must be painted or powder coated before installation to prevent rust. C4 Fabrication recommends test-fitting the raw sliders before applying any coating to verify alignment first.

Do these sliders fit the Tacoma Double Cab Long Bed or Access Cab?

These C4 Fabrication rock sliders are designed specifically for the 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Short Bed. These rock sliders fit only the Double Cab Short Bed configuration. Fitment for the Long Bed, Access Cab, or any other cab and bed combination is not confirmed.
