Starting to build out a 5th gen 4runner Limited (with large stock step rail) for weekend trips backcountry, including some rough stuff like the Georgia Traverse. But also hope to use the vehicle for a 1 year trip across South America. Aftermarket rocksliders worth their salt are heavy - 45lbs and up for EACH slider. Is it dumb to install them when weight matters while overlanding? Will eventually have two adults and two kids and a lot of gear in the vehicle, and maybe a trailer for the SA trip. The stock rails on the Limited are crap -- massive and won't protect the rockers much. Tough time prioritizing this. Any insights?
