DIY Rock Sliders?

[bmwguru]

Does anybody have any info on Rock Sliders? I want to build my own, where I live nobody has any nor have they heard about them so I have nothing to base myself.
I live in deep south Texas and shipping just kills me (it adds a whole lot more). I think I can come up with some of the design I just need to know some of the details.
I want them for a 4 door Toyota Tacoma long bed.
Primarily what I want is:
What gauge and size steel?


Any other helpful details would be appreciated. (even if its for another vehicle)

Thanks!

Yeah I got mine a few months ago. I think I was one of the first for the 2nd gen tacos so I got in before there were any lead times, it still took about 3 weeks to get them to me in WA, but I couldn't be happier with the quality.

This is my truck in action. You can see where my rock sliders protect the lower body panels.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking into making some for myself. Glad to hear you used a 120V. That's all I have. Will have to continue doing research for added safety measures.
