Rock Slide Engineering 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 4 Door Step-Slider Rocker Guards
The Rock Slide Engineering AX-SS-RG-JK4 Step-Slider Rocker Guards are heavy-duty rock sliders designed specifically for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 4-Door models. These sliders combine aggressive off-road protection with practical step functionality, shielding the rocker panels, pinch seam, and lower body from rocks, impacts, and trail damage. Constructed from 3/16" thick American steel with a 3" x 2" rectangular tubing frame and 3/16" plate outer skin, they feature a full-length step bar for easy entry/exit. Powder-coated black for corrosion resistance and durability, these guards bolt directly to the frame using existing holes—no drilling required on most installs. Ideal for rock crawling, overlanding, or daily-driven JKs that see trails, providing maximum protection without sacrificing ground clearance or approach angles.
