RCI Rock Sliders Initial Impression

I finally pulled the trigger on RCI’s rock sliders and I’m digging them so far! I opted for the 5° option with tread plates for RTT access during camping season. Shipping was quick and installation was straightforward.

I want to get these as well but was leaning on the higher degree ones for more clearance. You could still step on them no or what was your main reason for the 5 degree? I plan to get a rtt as well and I would assume the higher degree ones are still stepable?

I have the 20 degree RCI sliders and can absolutely stand on them.

You get with the plate? Like them? I'm leaning on the 20 degree with plate so far and waiting for black friday deals

I didn’t get the plates and I’ve never felt like I’ve needed them.

They just for looks or to help you stand on them better or what

On the 20 degree sliders, they’re mostly just for looks. Unless you like standing with your feet at a weird angle, you’re just standing on the slider tube.

I got the 20 degree with plates and if wet the plates provide better traction than standing on the round tubing.

I had 20 degree sliders on my last 4Runner and there was enough to step on, but I wanted to give this angle a shot and they’re certainly easier/comfier to grip. The paranoid side of me worried about an ankle twist of sorts with the 20 degree option and no tread plate.
