The Standard Aluminium plates or run boards that comes standard with the Hilux was just not enough and on a ordinary 4x4 day at Groenkloof they got bent and bashed to hel. I then decided to built my own after seeing what the cost in the 4x4 shops was. It took me 2 Saturdays and R940-00.

The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.
Mods:EFS suspension - ARB front bumper replacement - Warn winch - Rear sparewheel carrier bumper - 160l long range fuel tank - Toatal unberbelly plate protection - Canvas seat coners - Alu steel Canopy - Snorkel - Kenwood TK VHF Radio - Ctek 250s Dual batery system with solar pannel Dit is 'n TOYOTA ding, jy sal nie verstaan nie........
I thought about it but decided against it. Built it plain to do just that what they are meant to. Nobody ever uses the rockslider recovery points and i already have the ARB bullbar and rear sparewheel carrier bumper with highlift jack points.

Very nice, I like those brackets, nothing will bend those brackets. What wall thickness does the pipe have?

A few times now,I've seen how they attach a vehicle to the rock slider,to hold it stable,while pulling with another either from the front or rear.Sort of a pendulum system.
Thanx Guys, i used a 3mm x 60mm steam pipe. Should do the job.

For sure! Wel done!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow. Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive. It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
Baie mooi! Ek hou van self bou.
Ek wil net een ding vra: hoeveel spasie is daar tussen die cab(body) en die brackets van die rocksliders?
Ek het ook my eie rocksliders gebou en toe kry ek n rattle. Niks is los as ek onder die bakkie le nie. Maar as ek ry is daar n rattle. Toe kom ek my fout agter, die cab is op rubbers gemount en beweeg apart van die chassis en skuur en stamp dan teen rocksliders se brackets.
We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

Daar is oorgenoeg spasie. Op die foto sal jy sien dat die top-punt van die bracket level is met die chasis self en onder die deur is die bracket seker so 30mm onder die body.

I want to build my own as well and this is the only issue I saw.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Yes it did but you have to weld the nut to the bracket because there is no space for hands or tools to hold it between chasis and tank.
