Sliders sliders sliders??

[Danger_nurse]

Hey there, I’m looking to get some rocker sliders that can be also be used as steps for the kiddo and tiny people. I also don’t want to buy something that if gets bounced off a rock isn’t going to fold into the sheet metal. Any thoughts on rock sliders that won’t break the bank and are pretty junk?? Thanky

I just went through this with my JL and I ordered rustys frame mounted sliders. They don't hang low, are compatible with all skid plates, and have a nice step/clean look. Also, they are 0.188 DOM vs most manufacturers 0.120

They are not cheap but I highly recommend the Rock Slide Engineering power steps. They are sturdy and if you are going to make a habit of bouncing them off rocks, they have add on armor.

I just looked online, they’re still in business but I’m not seeing sliders for the JT still for sale?

This comes up a lot. I didn’t want to spend rock slide engineering money either. But I have zero regrets. I have repeatedly smashed them on rocks on 9 and 10 rated trails. Each time, they work perfectly after. I’ve hit them with touch up paint a bunch, but functionally I can’t seem to hurt them, no matter how hard I try. Mine is the same use case, kids and wife that want to be able to get in easily, and the need for real sliders.

Yeah, I don't think anyone wants to spend Rock Slide Engineering money, I know I didn't. However they are worth the money. No regrets from me either nor from several other people I know of that abuse the crap out of them in eastern US rocks.

Wow I'm sorry. I assumed they made them for the JT as well.

Rock Hard 4x4 angled down work for my wife. I see they make a flat step now too.

White Knuckle Off-road makes a phenomenal slider as well. I have mine, just haven’t gotten around to installing them.

I don't know if it is enough of a step for you but the strength and quality is sure there. JT is not on website yet but they have them. I have a set on my JT

They’re not cheap but the Ace Sliders are excellent and they offer them in multiple colors now too.

Poison Spyder rocker knockers with removable steps.

Frame mounted slider, but has probably the lowest step outside of the RSE's and the steps can be zipped off with a drill in seconds per step for off road use.

Rusty’s used to have gladiator rock sliders. I ran a set. They were a lot stronger than most of the body mounted sliders on the market. They did have a design flaw from my perspective though. The front mount used a body mount bolt instead of being frame mounted. I talked to them about it, and they said that was how their JL sliders were designed, and they hadn’t had any problems with them. I’m not sure what happened, but they’re no longer on their website.
