• Sold as a pair to provide complete protection on both sides of the vehicle

Construction & Design:

The skid plate is fabricated from 3/16 inch thick steel, chosen for its excellent balance of toughness and durability. This thickness ensures the plate can withstand significant impacts from rocks, roots, and trail obstacles without bending or cracking. Manufactured in Rock Slide Engineering’s Logan, Utah facility, the skid plate benefits from advanced fabrication techniques and rigorous quality control standards.

The design incorporates a precise cut-out for the step area, allowing the Step-Slider to function as intended without interference. Its bolt-on installation method leverages existing mounting points on the Step-Slider, eliminating the need for drilling or permanent modifications to your Jeep. The robust steel construction is complemented by a protective finish that guards against rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance in all weather conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward and user-friendly, requiring no drilling or special tools. The skid plate attaches directly to the existing Rock Slide Engineering JK Step Sliders using the supplied hardware, making it a hassle-free upgrade for Jeep owners. This product is specifically designed for the 2-door Jeep Wrangler JK models produced from 2007 through 2018 and is not compatible with 4-door versions or other step slider brands.

Because it mounts to factory points on the Step-Slider, the skid plate maintains the structural integrity and appearance of your vehicle while providing enhanced protection.
