The Rock Sliders look a lot like the stock Toyota Sliders. How are they different? Do they provide more protection and better footing?

Generally with aftermarket frame/rock rails you're paying for something that is much more robust and stout. You can see the difference in design when you look at their supports and the way they're mounted to the frame. The oem ones might be fine for some light work but I wouldn't really want to put those thin support & mounting brackets through any real hard impacts. The CATunedOffroad will also stick out more, giving you a larger width of protection and can be better used as a step. Aftermarket sliders also give you more design flexibility for those who want a straight/angled slider or ones with a kickout. In summary, yeah much more/better protection, hope that helps!
Thank you. That’s what it looked like to me from the pictures. I like them because appearance wise they are not a big departure from the OEM Sliders. I have a 2024 GX. Will these sliders bolt right on? I like the looks of your build

Fitment-wise I believe they should bolt right-on to the gx550 with the same trimming of the lower plastic trim, given they have the same chassis and frame mounting points. The lower plastic trim of the gx550 looks to be identical to the 250 series LC from a quick google search I did, but I would just double check that.
