The Rock Slide Engineering 3rd Generation Step Slider is a premium, fully functional rock slider designed specifically for the Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited 4-door models. Combining rugged off-road protection with convenient powered step access, this innovative product enhances both vehicle safety and usability. Ideal for Jeep enthusiasts who demand trail-rated durability without sacrificing everyday comfort, the Step Slider provides a reliable stepping surface that deploys automatically when doors open and retracts flush against the rocker panel when doors close.

With an added two inches of step length at the rear, this generation improves access to the rear doors, making entry and exit safer and easier for all passengers. The integration of smart motor technology ensures consistent operation even in harsh weather conditions, while the built-in sleep mode minimizes battery drain, preserving your Jeep’s electrical system.

Construction & Design:

The Step Slider is constructed from heavy-duty 10-gauge steel, ensuring exceptional strength and impact resistance to protect your Jeep’s rocker panels during off-road excursions. The raw steel undergoes an acid etching process before receiving a textured black powder coat finish, providing superior corrosion protection and a durable, attractive surface that withstands harsh environments.

Internally, the step slider features stainless steel and aluminum components to prevent rust and extend the lifespan of moving parts. The elimination of gas struts in favor of smart motor technology enhances motor longevity and ensures consistent step operation in cold or challenging weather conditions.

Designed for a straightforward installation, the Rock Slide Engineering Step Slider uses your Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited’s factory mounting points, requiring no drilling or permanent modifications. The included stand-alone wiring harness and magnetic door sensors integrate seamlessly with your vehicle’s electrical system without splicing or rewiring, preserving your manufacturer warranty.

Installation typically takes approximately four hours and includes all necessary hardware. For more aggressive off-road use, optional skid plates and rocker guards are available to provide additional protection and stability.
