Riddick - Trailhunter With Westcott Designs Rock Sliders

[TrailAdventurer]

Weekend Update: Riddick, Our ’25 Trailhunter

This weekend, I installed a set of Westcott Designs rock sliders (0-degree with top plates) on Riddick. Ordered back in May, they arrived three weeks ago, and I finally had the chance to put them on. From packaging to hardware to the product itself, Westcott delivered top-tier quality.

The OEM sliders—soon to be sold—were strong and good-looking, but lacked a few things I wanted:

• A better step for easier entry and exit, especially since the A-pillar lacks a grab handle.
• More protrusion with top plates to deflect mud and debris, plus a full-length step for roof-rack access.
• Extra clearance from the body for the rare but valuable protection when skimming past a stump or rock.

If I could add one improvement, it would be a feature I’ve seen from Metal Cloak: recessed fasteners protected by thick washers. This prevents bolts from snagging or wearing down and lets them slide over obstacles.

Bonus: They also guard against door dings.
