Construction & Design:

Rock Slide Engineering builds the Step Slider with rugged 10-gauge steel, acid-etched and finished with a textured black powder coat to withstand the elements and trail abuse. The design incorporates stainless steel and aluminum components internally to resist rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability. The step’s curved profile is thoughtfully crafted to contour the Jeep Gladiator’s body, minimizing gaps and improving aesthetics while enhancing functionality.

The elimination of gas struts in favor of smart motor technology not only extends the life of the step’s deployment mechanism but also guarantees consistent operation in cold and harsh weather conditions. This attention to detail reflects Rock Slide Engineering’s commitment to quality and user experience.
