Serious rocker protection for the 2003-2006 Jeep LJ Wrangler Unlimited
The BD-SS-100-LJ is Rock Slide Engineering's tube rock slider set for the 2003-2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ (Unlimited). Unlike the Gen 3 electric step sliders, the BD-SS-100-LJ is a fixed, heavy-duty steel tube slider built to take the full force of rock strikes and high-centering without bending or buckling. The LJ's extended wheelbase creates a longer, more exposed rocker panel that needs dedicated protection on serious trails; BD-SS-100-LJ addresses that directly. Steel tube construction with textured black powder coat finish, bolt-on installation. Designed and built in Boise, Idaho by Rock Slide Engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the BD-SS-100-LJ, and what makes it different from the Gen 3 sliders?The BD-SS-100-LJ is a fixed, heavy-duty steel tube rock slider — it does not extend or retract electrically. It is designed for the Jeep LJ's exposed rocker panels and prioritizes trail protection over step functionality. The Gen 3 Step Sliders are electrically operated and designed for JK, JL, JT, and Bronco platforms.
What years does the BD-SS-100-LJ fit?The BD-SS-100-LJ fits 2003-2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ Unlimited only. It does not fit the TJ, JK, JL, or Gladiator JT.
Does BD-SS-100-LJ fit the regular TJ Wrangler?No. The BD-SS-100-LJ is engineered for the longer LJ Unlimited body specifically. The TJ requires a different slider fitment.
Are BD-SS-100-LJ sliders bolt-on or do they require welding?The BD-SS-100-LJ is a bolt-on installation using the factory frame mounting points, requiring no welding or drilling of the frame.
Do the BD-SS-100-LJ sliders also serve as a step surface?The steel tube construction provides a surface to step on when entering and exiting the vehicle, though the primary function is rocker panel protection on the trail.
What steel tube size is used in BD-SS-100-LJ?Contact Rock Slide Engineering for current tube diameter specifications. The construction is designed for serious trail and rock crawling duty.
Will BD-SS-100-LJ affect my approach or departure angles?Rock sliders are mounted along the rocker panel and are designed to minimize impact on approach, departure, and breakover angles while providing maximum protection.
Does BD-SS-100-LJ come with both sides?Yes, the BD-SS-100-LJ is sold as a pair covering both driver and passenger sides.
Who makes the BD-SS-100-LJ?Rock Slide Engineering, headquartered in Boise, Idaho, manufactures the BD-SS-100-LJ specifically for the Jeep LJ platform.
