AX-SP-300-JK4

Overview:

The Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plate is a rugged protective accessory designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler JK 4 Door models from 2007 to 2018. Crafted to shield the side and underside of your Step Sliders, these skid plates provide essential defense against harsh trail obstacles and aggressive off-road conditions. While the Step Sliders themselves are built to absorb impacts, adding these skid plates ensures enhanced durability and peace of mind for serious off-road enthusiasts who demand extra protection on challenging terrain.

Engineered to fit seamlessly over your existing Step Sliders, these skid plates maintain full step functionality thanks to a precise cutout design. Whether you’re navigating rocky trails or rugged backcountry paths, the Rock Slide Engineering skid plates help preserve your vehicle’s integrity and keep your steps operational.

Key Features:

Designed with quality and durability in mind, the Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plates offer the following key features:

• Constructed from 3/16” thick steel for superior strength and impact resistance
• Custom fit to the Rock Slide Engineering JK 4 Door Step Sliders for a secure, precise installation
• Textured black powder coat finish applied via a state-of-the-art automated system for long-lasting corrosion protection

• Sold as a pair to protect both sides of your Jeep

Construction & Design:

The skid plates are fabricated from heavy-duty 3/16” steel, providing a robust barrier against rocks, debris, and trail hazards. The raw steel is acid-etched before receiving a textured black powder coat, which enhances adhesion and delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that stands up to the elements and off-road abuse. The design perfectly contours to the Rock Slide Engineering Step Sliders, fitting like a phone case to ensure comprehensive coverage without compromising step usability.

Every detail, from the precise cutout for the step to the mounting points that align with existing brackets, reflects thoughtful engineering aimed at maximizing protection while maintaining ease of installation and everyday functionality.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward and can typically be completed in approximately 30 minutes. The skid plates attach directly to the existing Step Slider brackets using the original hardware, eliminating the need for drilling or modifications. This bolt-on design ensures a secure fit and allows for easy removal if necessary. The product is specifically designed to fit Jeep Wrangler JK 4 Door models produced between 2007 and 2018, guaranteeing compatibility and optimal protection.

What's Included:

• Pair of Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plates

Ideal For:

This skid plate upgrade is ideal for Jeep Wrangler JK owners who frequently tackle aggressive off-road trails and want to safeguard their investment. If you rely on your Step Sliders for both vehicle protection and as a functional step, these skid plates provide an essential layer of defense against trail hazards without sacrificing usability.
