Construction & Design

The XHD Steel Rock Sliders are crafted from heavy-duty 3-mm steel plate, precision-cut using CNC laser technology to ensure exact fit and finish. This robust material choice offers excellent resistance to impacts and abrasion encountered during off-road excursions. The textured black powder coat finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also provides a rugged, non-slip surface for the integrated step.

The one-piece design simplifies installation and maximizes structural integrity, distributing impact forces evenly along the rocker panel. Foam gaskets are strategically placed to prevent metal-to-body contact, protecting your Jeep’s paint and sheet metal from scratches and dents.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward and user-friendly, requiring no drilling or permanent modifications to your Jeep. The sliders bolt directly onto existing factory mounting points, ensuring a secure fit while maintaining the vehicle’s original structural integrity. This bolt-on design also allows for easy removal or replacement if needed.

These rock sliders are engineered to fit the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and 2005–2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK models. They are compatible with both stock and most aftermarket fender flares, making them a versatile choice for a wide range of Jeep builds.
