These are not a cosmetic side step dressed up with an off-road badge. The Cobra 4x4 Angled Rock Sliders are a heavy-duty steel protection system built around what actually happens when a vehicle drops into a rut, slides onto a rock, or leans into a track edge. At approximately 60kg per pair, powder-coated black steel throughout, and priced at $699 against an RRP of $1,299, there is a serious amount of product here for the money.

Flat sliders sit parallel to the ground and tend to catch whatever is underneath them. The Cobra design tilts upward against the vehicle body, which changes the contact geometry entirely when terrain makes contact.
When the angled face meets a raised rock or track edge, the vehicle is pushed away from the obstacle rather than digging in and dragging along the sill. For anyone running angled rock sliders on a Hilux or LandCruiser 70, 76 or 79 Series through rocky terrain, that deflection makes a measurable difference to momentum and body lean. A flat slider in the same situation catches and holds.
The angle also sits the steel tighter to the body, keeping more clearance underneath. That matters on a loaded touring rig crawling over boulders, and it is exactly why serious off-road drivers tend to prefer the angled design over a wide flat step.
The construction is rated for high-lift jack recovery. When you are jacking from the side of a bogged vehicle on a remote track, the mounting point needs to hold without flex or movement. These are built for that load. If you are putting together a full recovery setup, the recovery and hitch accessories range pairs well with the sliders.
This is the feature that separates the Cobra sliders from most bolt-on options at this price point. The front section of each slider is removable, which allows the Cobra Brush Scrub Bar Side Rails to bolt directly into position and extend protection up to the front guard of the vehicle.
That kind of continuous side coverage from the guard through to the rear normally requires custom steel fabrication. Cobra designed the connection point into the product from the start, making it a bolt-on addition rather than a costly custom job. The brush bars are sold separately at $249 per set and are currently available for the Hilux N70, Ford Ranger PX through PX3, D-Max 2012 to 2020, and Holden Colorado. For frontal protection to go alongside the slider setup, the bull bar range is worth comparing at the same time.
Cobra offers a wide range of products specifically designed to fit popular models, ensuring a perfect match and seamless installation. And for those whose specific model isn't listed yet, fear not! The team at Cobra is constantly working on developing new fitments and can provide you with information on upcoming releases. Additionally, if you're considering different styles of side steps or rock sliders, be sure to check out the full range as it may offer options that better suit your needs. With Cobra's commitment to providing top-notch accessories for various vehicles, you can trust that your ride will look and perform its best with their products.
