Construction & Design:

The Step-Slider Rocker Guards are crafted from premium-grade aluminum, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to rust and corrosion. The raw aluminum undergoes an acid etching process to prepare the surface for the powder coat finish, ensuring superior adhesion and durability. The textured black powder coat not only protects against scratches and environmental damage but also provides a non-slip surface for stepping.

Rock Slide Engineering’s precision manufacturing techniques guarantee a perfect fit and finish, maintaining the Gladiator’s rugged styling while adding functional protection. The design balances toughness with usability, making these rocker guards a reliable addition for both off-road adventures and everyday driving.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of the Step-Slider Rocker Guards is straightforward and can typically be completed within one hour. While the process requires drilling into the sheet metal for secure mounting, Rock Slide Engineering provides all necessary hardware and clear instructions to facilitate a smooth installation. Proper fitment is ensured exclusively for Jeep Gladiator JT models from 2020 through 2022, guaranteeing a precise and secure attachment.
