This video is about 1 month in the making. Back on October 24th, 2023, I visited Traxda @traxda2756 Headquarters in Tuscon, Arizona to try out the new "wide slides" rock sliders.

One of the biggest takeaways from this product is that it makes my top heavy Honda Passport ride so much nicer! Each of these sliders weighs 40 lbs. and they also stiffen the chassis and resist "twisting forces". So, no matter what vehicle you drive (4WD truck to a Subaru AWD) adding rock sliders may aid in retaining ride quality when your roof starts getting heavy.
