Vehicle: Hilux Vigo Legend 45

Anton Willemse
Onca Off-Road Rock Sliders
One of the many casualties of my Baboon’s Pass trip a couple of months back was the stock side steps on my Hilux Legend 45. They received a proper hammering from the rocks of Lesotho and were badly out of shape at the end of this trail.

These steps are bolted partially to the body of the Hilux and were never designed to take this kind of punishment. I knew this at the time of heading up the trail, but decided that damaged side steps were preferable to body damage. Not an easy decision!

Since I am aiming to drive a few more 4x4 routes and regularly use my vehicle in off-road situations, I wanted to be better prepared next time out. Luckily, the guys at Onca Off-road, Lee and Len Nel, were kind enough to help me out with a pair of their heavy-duty rock sliders.

When it comes to metal fabrication, these guys are experts and, with a background in extreme 4x4ing, they know exactly how a rock slider should perform.
