Arb side rails

Post by Evski »

Het guys, I just bought a hilux with arb side rails. Just wondering how strong they are? Do they stack up as sliders and can you use the high lift on them? Cheers

They are not strong enough to be classed as sliders.
At the first sign of a half hearted hit they will bend big time.
They are how ever alot better then stock side steps.

I had them on my first hilux, and used them for hilift shenanigans all the time, never damaged them. They were awesome... Also took some big hits from trees/dirt piles and stood up to it...

I know their Side rails and steps are a lot tougher than their protection steps.
