Overview:

Rock Slide Engineering’s Step Sliders are a perfect blend of rugged protection and convenient functionality designed specifically for the classic Jeep Wrangler LJ models from 2003 to 2006. These trail-rated rock sliders not only shield your Jeep’s rocker panels from harsh off-road obstacles but also incorporate a powered step that deploys automatically for easy vehicle access. Ideal for Jeep enthusiasts who demand durability and practicality, this product enhances both the safety and comfort of your off-road adventures.

The integrated power step extends a full 12 inches downward when the door opens, providing a stable foothold for drivers and passengers of all ages and abilities. Once the door closes, the step retracts seamlessly, sitting flush with the slider body to maintain a sleek, factory-like appearance without compromising ground clearance or off-road capability.

Construction & Design:

The Step Sliders are crafted from robust 10-gauge steel, providing exceptional strength to protect your Jeep’s rocker panels from rocks, debris, and trail hazards. The steel undergoes an advanced automated powder coating process that begins with acid etching to ensure superior adhesion of the textured black finish. This coating not only enhances durability but also delivers a sleek, aggressive look that complements the Jeep’s rugged style.

Internally, the step mechanism features stainless steel and aluminum components to resist corrosion and ensure long-lasting, reliable operation in all weather conditions. The design integrates seamlessly with the Jeep’s factory mounting points, preserving structural integrity and simplifying installation.
