AX-SP-300-JL2

Overview:

The Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plate is a robust protective accessory designed specifically for the Jeep Wrangler JL 2 Door models from 2018 to 2022. Engineered to safeguard the side and underside of your Step Sliders, these skid plates provide essential defense against rocks, debris, and trail obstacles 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 maximum protection without compromising step functionality.

Crafted to fit seamlessly over the existing Step Sliders, the skid plates install easily using the original mounting brackets and hardware. A precision cutout allows the step to remain fully operational, maintaining convenience and safety during entry and exit.

Key Features:

Designed with off-road durability and ease of installation in mind, the Rock Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plates offer the following key features:

• Heavy-duty 3/16” steel construction for superior impact resistance
• Custom fit for Gen 2 RSE JL 2 Door Step Sliders, ensuring a secure and precise fit
• Textured black powder coat finish applied via an advanced automated system for long-lasting corrosion protection and rugged aesthetics

• Manufactured in the USA with strict quality control standards
• Sold as a pair to protect both sides of the vehicle

Construction & Design:

Rock Slide Engineering utilizes 3/16” thick steel plate to provide a tough, impact-resistant barrier that shields your Step Sliders from trail hazards. The steel is precision-cut and formed to match the contours of the Step Sliders perfectly, ensuring a snug, protective fit that acts like a durable phone case for your vehicle’s rock sliders. The raw steel undergoes acid etching before receiving a textured black powder coat finish, enhancing adhesion and providing a resilient surface that resists chipping, rust, and abrasion. This meticulous manufacturing process guarantees a product that not only performs under harsh conditions but also maintains a clean, aggressive appearance over time.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward and can typically be completed in about 30 minutes using common hand tools. The skid plates attach directly to the existing Step Slider brackets with the original hardware, eliminating the need for drilling or permanent modifications. This bolt-on design preserves the integrity of your Jeep’s factory components while delivering enhanced protection. The product is specifically engineered to fit the Jeep Wrangler JL 2 Door models from 2018 through 2022, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation.
