AX-SS-SP-TJ
Overview:
The Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plate is a robust protective accessory designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler TJ models from 1997 to 2006. Engineered to shield the side and underside of your Step Sliders, these skid plates provide essential defense against rocks, debris, and trail obstacles encountered during aggressive off-road adventures.

Key Features:
Designed with durability and ease of use in mind, the Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plates deliver superior protection and seamless integration with your existing setup. Key features include:
- Constructed from 3/16 inch thick steel for maximum strength and impact resistance
- Textured black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and a rugged appearance
- Custom fit to the Rock Slide Engineering TJ Step Sliders, ensuring a secure and precise installation
- Mounts directly to existing brackets using the same hardware, eliminating the need for modifications

- Designed to withstand aggressive off-road conditions and trail impacts
Construction & Design:
Rock Slide Engineering utilizes premium 3/16 inch steel plate to fabricate these skid plates, providing a tough barrier against trail hazards. The raw steel undergoes an acid etching process to prepare the surface for a state-of-the-art automated powder coating system. This results in a durable, textured black finish that resists rust, scratches, and wear over time. The skid plates are precision-cut to fit the contours of the TJ Step Sliders like a phone case, ensuring a snug fit that does not interfere with the step’s operation. This thoughtful engineering balances protection with functionality, allowing Jeep owners to confidently navigate rugged terrain without sacrificing convenience.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation is straightforward and designed to be completed in approximately 30 minutes. The skid plates attach directly to your existing Rock Slide Engineering TJ Step Sliders using the original mounting brackets and hardware, requiring no drilling or permanent modifications. The included cutout ensures your steps remain fully operational after installation. This user-friendly design makes it easy for Jeep owners to upgrade their protection quickly and efficiently, whether in the garage or on the trail.
What's Included:
- Pair of Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plates
- Mounting hardware compatible with RSE TJ Step Sliders
Ideal For:
This skid plate set is ideal for Jeep Wrangler TJ owners who demand extra protection for their Step Sliders during off-road excursions. Whether you frequently explore rocky trails, tackle steep inclines, or drive through rugged terrain, these skid plates provide the added durability needed to safeguard your vehicle’s rock sliders. They are perfect for off-road enthusiasts, weekend adventurers, and anyone looking to extend the lifespan of their Jeep’s side protection components.

Built for Jeeps, Broncos, and select truck platforms, Rock Slide products are designed to improve access and protection at the same time, making them ideal for rigs that see both street miles and rough terrain.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
