I have seen a red 4runner that had a tube run down the upper side of the bedsides for protection . My bedsides are getting hammered and I thought it looked like a good idea. Unfortunately I can not find the thread now. it was a simple tube like a rock slider that tied to the internal cage and gave some protection right where I need it . I remember the truck being red too. I hope someone can find it ,cause I can't . Thanks!

 

You know where you need it just make it and be done.

Or build a complete exo-cage
