Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What’s the difference between Diamondstep and Surestep bumpers? A: Both are OE-style rear step bumpers. The Diamondstep features a traditional pattern for grip, while the Surestep typically has a slightly different tread for traction preference. Both are V5 certified for towing safety.
Q: Why is 1035 DOM steel used in your bumpers and sliders? A: 1035 DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) steel is significantly stronger and more impact-resistant than standard welded tubing, making it ideal for components exposed to off-road hazards.
Q: Are these products direct bolt-on, or do they require welding? A: Many rear bumpers are direct bolt-on, especially FEY units. Rock sliders and some heavy-duty/Rock Defense bumpers often require basic welding and mount fabrication for optimal strength.
Q: Will these rock sliders fit my Double Cab or PreRunner model? A: Absolutely! Sliders come in different lengths and can be selected for Extra-Cab, Double Cab, and PreRunner Tacoma variants.
Q: Are all bumpers winch-ready? A: The Rock Defense front bumper includes a winch mount; standard step bumpers are not designed for winches.
Q: How do I maintain the finish on my bumpers or sliders? A: Regular cleaning and occasional touch-up of any chips or scratches will preserve the appearance and prevent corrosion, especially for those who frequently off-road.
