Hi guys. I've finally decided to start dropping money back into my 96 4Runner and am going for a set of sliders next. I think I am going to get the ones from Marlin and was wondering what length some of yall run. I know that they reccomend the 58" for the 4Runner, but I have seen people running the 67" ones. What do yall think?

heres some pics of mine. i just got done touching them up. also, i like the look of the shorter one and i thought i read where the longer ones will limit the tire size to fit under there....? either way, theyll look nice!
mine are trail gear....135 shipped and i made the gussets and a friend welded them on!

Looks good but I think I am going to make some scab plates and weld them on and not deal with gusseting them.

thats what i did, i assumed the gusstes were the little triangle pieces that connect the bar to the scab plate, providing aditional support...
kinda hard to tell but on the top theres a triangle piece welded to the scab plate and the support leg

Correct, I thought the Trail Gear sliders came with a L type mounting bracket.

its an option. you can either weld their plates on or bolt them on(after you drill the frame) i think their 20 bucks extra
i just found some scrap and made 4x4" plates and some triangle pieces and welded em up.
