Overview:

The Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plate is a robust protective accessory designed specifically for the Jeep Wrangler LJ models from 2003 to 2006. Crafted to shield the side and underside of your Step Sliders, these skid plates provide essential defense against rocks, debris, and rough terrain encountered during aggressive off-road adventures. While the Step Sliders themselves are built to absorb impacts, the addition of these skid plates ensures enhanced durability and longevity, making them a must-have for serious trail enthusiasts who demand extra protection for their vehicle’s vulnerable areas.

Engineered to fit seamlessly over the existing Step Sliders, the skid plates install easily using the original mounting brackets, preserving the functionality of your steps with a precision cutout. This combination of protection and convenience allows Jeep owners to confidently tackle challenging trails without compromising on usability or style.

Key Features:

Designed with off-road performance and durability in mind, the Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plates offer a range of features that set them apart:

• Constructed from 3/16 inch thick steel for superior impact resistance
• Custom-fit design tailored specifically for Rock Slide Engineering LJ Step Sliders

Construction & Design:

The skid plates are fabricated from heavy-duty 3/16 inch steel, providing a tough barrier against trail hazards such as rocks, roots, and uneven terrain. The steel undergoes an acid etching process before being coated with a state-of-the-art automated powder coat system. This textured black finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also delivers a durable, non-slip surface that complements the rugged aesthetic of your Jeep.

Each plate is precision-engineered to fit like a phone case over the Rock Slide Engineering Step Sliders, ensuring a secure fit without the need for additional modifications. The design includes a carefully positioned cutout to allow the step to remain fully operational, maintaining both safety and convenience during use.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward and can typically be completed within 30 minutes using the existing mounting hardware on your Rock Slide Engineering LJ Step Sliders. The skid plates attach using the same brackets as the sliders, eliminating the need for drilling or permanent alterations to your vehicle. This bolt-on design ensures a secure fit while preserving the integrity of your Jeep’s original components.

These skid plates are specifically designed to fit the Jeep Wrangler LJ model years 2003 through 2006 equipped with Rock Slide Engineering Step Sliders, ensuring compatibility and optimal protection.
