Construction & Design:

Crafted from heavy-gauge 3 mm steel, this body armor cladding is built to withstand the rigors of off-road driving. The sectional panels are precision-formed to match the complex contours of Jeep Wrangler’s rocker panels, ensuring a snug fit that prevents debris intrusion and minimizes rattling. The rugged black textured powder coat not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides a tough barrier against corrosion and surface damage, extending the life of your vehicle’s bodywork.

The design incorporates strategically placed mounting points secured with supplied black button-head hardware, delivering a robust attachment that maintains the integrity of your Jeep’s exterior while allowing for straightforward installation.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is a straightforward bolt-on process using the included button-head hardware. Some drilling into the vehicle’s rocker panels is required to achieve a secure fit, so basic hand tools and mechanical aptitude are recommended. The cladding is engineered to fit a broad range of Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 through 2018, including popular trims such as Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, Sport S, Unlimited, and special anniversary editions. It also fits select Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2005 to 2010.
