Construction & Design:

Built with durability in mind, the Side Step Slider features 10-gauge steel construction that withstands moderate off-road conditions. The raw steel undergoes an acid etching process before receiving a state-of-the-art automated powder coat textured black finish, ensuring long-lasting protection against corrosion and wear. Internally, stainless steel and aluminum components are used to prevent rust and maintain smooth operation of the step mechanism.

The design incorporates a subtle curve that follows the vehicle’s contour, reducing the gap between the slider’s rear extension and the fender flare. This thoughtful styling not only enhances the Jeep’s appearance but also improves safety and accessibility by adding two extra inches to the rear stepping area compared to previous generations.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward and user-friendly, requiring no drilling or permanent modifications to your Jeep Gladiator. The system mounts directly to factory mounting points and includes a dedicated stand-alone wire harness with magnetic door sensors, eliminating the need for splicing or rewiring. This ensures your manufacturer warranty remains intact after installation. Typical install time is approximately four hours, making it accessible for experienced DIYers or professional installers.
