Don’t buy Rocky Road Sliders

[Deepsea619]

@millertime496, seeing your post late but just in case you haven't put your RRO sliders on yet, check these out. They have been modified to now fit 2024. I'm going to ask for some pictures on a Ranger Raptor, assuming they have some and send, I will post here. If they look good I will probably go this route.

Thank you! Please post pics. I like the rails but not mounted to the body of my truck.

Wow, both of these look PERFECT to me, fit and finish. I'd really love a set of either TBH. Frame mount with minimal, or even better, zero modification/drilling.... a boy can dream

I really like that one. I am wondering if there is any drilling. I hope there isn't. I ma sure shipping is going to cost a ton.

There is now a dedicated listing for the 2024 Ranger Raptor. Not exactly sure what they mean by the passenger side is "OPTIONAL".

We are proud to bring to market our 2024 Ford Raptor Ranger Rock Sliders Bolt-On Sliders!

Utilizing factory holes, these sliders will mount up without drilling your frame using provided hardware! It is OPTIONAL on the passenger side however.

This listing is for The All New 2024 Ford Raptor Ranger

We got THREE legs setup on these instead of just two like you may have seen elsewhere!


The front bracket wraps around two sides of the frame! The middle bracket pinches the frame and uses bolts above the frame. The rear bracket wraps around two sides and uses pre-existing holes to mount it up! We also add a forward facing gusset on the front leg to get as much strength forward of the slider base as possible! With the new up dated design we are now adding a rear gusset to maxamize the protection. on our 2019-2024 Ford Ranger Rock Sliders

I contacted them over email and they stated passenger side does require two drill points.

you do have to drill two holes on the passenger side. If you check out our ranger slider install video, the raptor ranger ones are pretty much the same brackets are just a tiny bit different, but install is the same...

I believe this is the video they are referencing.

Awesome my rocky roads are still in the package. Shipping them back this week.
Good luck selling any more rocky road.

Hey guys, I took the bullet for everyone. The rocky road sliders are not frame mounted. They will have to do for now

Yea they look great just don’t use them for what there made for.

Why not? I put my old RRO sliders through quite a bit.

I think it's fine for most of it unless you're doing the most hardcore of jeep-only rock crawling.

It's not just the Rocky road folks saying it (and I have friends who did some serious trails in Utah with RRO sliders on even the larger Raptors, maybe they would have failed on some hard parts of hell's revenge but they did fine) but even the Goat Fab folks are saying the same thing, that body mount on this is as secure or more secure given the design on this truck's frame.

I am sure I am over thinking this topic but I went with Goat fabrication and I LOVE the product and the company. It’s not everyday you can call a company and speak to the owner. I love everything about them and I feel good mowing my rails are attached to the frame of my rig.
