Maybe get clarification from the manufacturer means when they say, “with enough interest”. Does that mean you need to drum up 1000 orders, two, or something in between. Seems a bit evasive, by the seller, to me.

I don’t see that happening. I ran a few group buys on Tesla forums and the best I ever did was on low cost mud flaps. 27 sold. On this one, as they say, “better you than me!” Good luck!

Brackets look thin

I agree. For me, the overall structure (all those pieces and rivets) doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. I think I'll wait this one out until I hear the reviews.

I wouldn’t buy them yet because I don’t have a truck, although I do like the design. If they want people to start buying them they might need to provide more specs on the materials, weight, and some video of the install and actually in use would be just peachy.

 

[Brewbud]

There is definitely a need for something like this. Personally I wouldn't buy until I see some of them get used.

If every person who wants to see these tested first is willing to pay me a test mule fee, I’ll buy

Agree. I'm also looking at the tubing which seems to be the structural component. Based on the drill holes diameters, that tubing doesn't look like a very large diameter, and it's a 7000+ lb vehicle that in theory could slide on it? ?

 

[MD Waits]

I’m interested but need it more as a step up/running board for the kiddos. Would it be sufficiently wide for that purpose?

Those are not rock sliders, just side steps that look cool. Drop a couple thousand pounds of truck on those and you’ll still end up with crushed rockers.

 

[R1Sky Business]

Yes, there are two different models one for the R1T and one for the R1S. The R1S is a bit shorter.
Here are some approximate weights...
R1T - 40-45 lbs per side
R1S - 30-35 lbs per side.

How does this compare to quality, solid sliders???

Coming from Tacomas you normally see rock sliders with 1/8” thick steel tubing, 1/4” thick steel gussets and 3/16” thick steel mounting brackets. This looks like cheap/weak thin sheet metal brackets used to mount a decent tube frame slider. Those brackets look like they will bend under a half decent hit and the sliders will smash the rocker panels.

I would be in for an R1T and an R1S set…. So, two.. But I would like to know a little more about them. Are they true sliders? Truly tough?
Thank for putting this together.

These are NOT rock sliders. If they can’t support the full weight of the vehicle they are running boards at best and trail damage enhancement at worst.
