Default Who makes bolt on Sliders?

I want to replace my running boards with Sliders and my preference is to buy a direct fit bolt on pair. The only ones I've found for the GX are those sold by Metal Tech. I like them but want to know if other options exist. There are many options for the 4Runner that GX owners have modified and welded to the frame but my first route of preference is bolt on.

Try a Google search, for sliders to fit a Prado. The Prado and off roading are very popular in Australia. International shipping is expensive but you may find something you can't live without.

Edit: These appear to be bolt on - http://store.powerful4x4.com.au/rock...do-120-series/

as far as I know, the MetalTech/Outpost Offroad and the ARB ones are the only bolt on options

My off-roading friend drives a 4runner. When I compared our trucks, his frame rails are identical to ours.... down to pre-drilled holes. I'm almost certain any 4runner bolt-on sliders will fit our truck. The only thing I didn't get to check out is the body clearance. If you purchase it from the local fab shop, I'm sure they can make any minor modifications if necessary.

I can't go this route because I chose to buy one with KDSS. One of the regrets of getting KDSS. I have to get a custom made sliders.

I heard KDSS doesnt require much modifcation, maybe relocating one or two of the slider legs
