C4 Fab will not fit TRD Pro even tho they confirmed they would in an email. Fuel tank mount is in the way on passenger side and the d1,2,3 make the frame bolts misaligned. Plus they come with Zero instructions.

Good info. I have Cali Raised on my 3G Tacoma. They're very nice and price and lead times are great. Will probably go that direction again once I have my new 4G...

Any update on this, regarding fitment of the C4 on a Trd Pro?

I'm really glad you posted this. I have a Trailhunter and it doesn't seem enough to say you have a 4th gen, apparently there are lots of things that don't fit the Trailhunter or TRD Pro. Annoying lol

I'm going to add one. I'm old school and was going to run one of the traditional tube and plate sliders. I decided to go in a different direction, more in the NyTop direction. I ordered the sliders from Victory 4x4. Slider protection, with the functionality of a running board. I'm sure my old carcass will appreciate them.

As a fellow old carcass careening into decrepitude, I support this. Lol

Those look nice!

For the price they should be. I decided a modern truck should have a modern looking slider. Those tube sliders are fine on my 1985. But I think after almost 40 years sliders should evolve.

Where are you from? Nothing makes us happier in America than not evolving, it's like our hallmark. Lol

Nice, we were being stupid... driving over big rocks/boulders. Lost traction, got stuck, it happens...

I know this is an old comment but yes, totally agree, the Cali Raised sliders are great, should I ever decide to pick up a 4th gen I will be sticking with them! I am a Trail Edition kinda guy myself, would more than likely stick with that style.

Is the top-plate on the Cali Raised removable? IE, add a plate to it that is similar to C4 fab, for extra grip/traction when using as a step.
