Demello vs. Shrockworks Sliders

[Off-Grid Engineering]

Hey all. I've searched until my face turned blue and I just can't seem to find the answer Im looking for. I know both Demello and Shrockworks make excellent armor. What I'd like to know is, which of the bolt-on sliders stick out less? I had the Demellos on my 03 Taco and I really liked them. They were nice and close to the body. I'm building my 2015 Access Cab and I'd like the same style. With that being said, does anyone have info as to how far each one protrudes from the side of the vehicle? Pics of both would help too... even though Ive already looked at hundreds...

Any other info on why one may be better than the other would help too. Thanks ExPo folks!

Not everyone at once now!...

CBI, does that help any :sombrero:?

I had CBI custom make mine so that the rear hoop didn't stick out too far and I also changed the overall design up a little from what they normally offer.

Ooooh. Very nice. I appreciate the reply and the pic. I had something similar to those on my 04 Tacoma. Id like the exterior most rail to be much closer to the cab however. Maybe I'll contact CBI about some custom built rails.

I have these from Outpost Offroad (sold through Metal Tech).

I love 'em: they don't stick out too far but have a small kick-out, have proven to be very strong (I lift my overweight truck on them often), are made in the US and are affordable. Just another option...

Oh wow. Those are very nice looking. Thanks for another option.

Not Demello or Shrockworks....

You might find what you want with BAMF. I believe they use to manufacture a "narrow" slider that is tight to the body of the truck. CBI is very easy to work with and typically has shorter wait times than some smaller fabricators.

Marlin sliders?

Two things about this... I thought I read somewhere that they don't ship to Colorado. And their website is stating a 12 week lead time. Last time I ordered Demellos, I had them in a week. I do like BAMF's sliders though!

Appreciate the suggestion but the one's on their website are by no means "tucked in". Im sure they're great sliders and offer a ton of protection but I really need something that is nice and close to the body.

I loved my Demellos before so I think I'll just stick a fork in this topic and order those. I appreciate all the advice!

My Shrockworks on my 2006 are extremely close to the body. I actually wish they stuck out a little more sometimes. Just have to be patient though, it took over 6 months to get them. Maybe their lead times have improved in time. Sorry, these are the best pics I have.
