Rock Sliders, which should I get? Poll included

[TacoFreak]

Personally running RCI sliders.

Same here, and I can highly recommend them from the quality construction to the excellent powder coating.

Steel or aluminum?

Steel, but about 80+ pounds per side.

Update: Checked the RCI website and they weigh 73 pounds/side.

CBI Again, also, pricey, but love the protection, and a quality made product.

What rain window deflectors?

For those with Greenlane sliders how are they for an actual offroad rock slider? Will they protect the body and support the weight of the truck on a rock? Or are they just for a stronger step and shopping cart protection?

Im between Greenlane (weight savings), CBI, and RCI (hate their tread plate but they are local so I can save $500 on shipping). Im just building it for 95% daily driving and 5% desert adventures, no hardcore wheeling like I used to do. But sliders are cheap insurance so gotta have something and if Greenlane can actually take a hit the weight savings would help with everything from fuel economy to ride quality

Anyone in the north running rock sliders/ running boards?

I'd like to get a set that won't immediately get rusty from winter salt, since the truck is gonna be my primary winter vehicle. So something with powder coating + bedliner would sound good to me. I *probably* won't be doing much actual rock crawling. But you never know.

And I'm also interested in general insights into the aftermarket. This is for my first Toyota, and I haven't really figured out who's who in the aftermarket! When I do web searches, there seems to be a lot of small shops making rock sliders for Tacomas.

From this thread it sounds like CBI, Greenlane, and RCI are the main choices? Wescott is named by the OP.
