Another vote for Rock Slide Engineering! I do NOT have them for my Mojave yet but I did have them on my JKUR and they were, hands down, the absolute best mod for the money. They're expensive, but not for what you get. I'm pretty banged up from a number of orthopedic trauma surgeries and they made getting in and out my Jeep infinitely easier...

I will be getting them for my Mojave shortly...I just had a financial "detour" via a new Challenger Hellcat...!

I like these a lot but I've been concerned by any of these split designs that the center split would cause a hang-up spot. What I mean is, when sliding across a rock, the split would cause a spot to get stuck as opposed to a seamless path. But this is all just theoretical in my head, any real-world experience with this?
I'm not a very brave man, so I've only run it at-speed on soft roads. When I'm flooring it like that, the most action the sliders see is when I make a hairpin turn at 35-45 MPH—and then it acts like a bumpstop b/t my doors and the high shoulder to pivot the backend of the rig into a fishtail around the bend.

The few times I've off-roaded or rock crawled with it, I've never been at such a severe angle (or had a high obstacle that close) that the center split got caught.

RockHard angled up.

I've absolutely punished these offroad. Full vehicle weight drops... Absolutely perfect, and I would recommend them to anyone. Like a previous poster, I bedlined the top for extra grip.

I have the ACE sliders, they are good because the truck came with the Rubicon sliders and these sit just below to take most of the hit. They allow my wife easy step up, but Im 6'1" and as a step they put me up too high and I cant swing in without hitting my head....

Some great options here. I didn't see the ARBs, so I added some pic. So far, rock solid and take a good beating. Also make a great step.

Here’s a vote for Ace Engineering sliders. The Mojave comes with the Rubi rails, these attach to the body mounts and come out and up, around the rails. That was a big motivator for me - I didn’t have to remove the rails. I wanted to keep the pinch weld hidden. Great sliders, and my wife and kids can attest they’re great as a step as well!

I just installed a set from Rock Slide 2 weeks ago, but haven’t hit the trails since. Seriously heavy steps, I doubt I’ll ever need the additional armor they sell. My wife is 5’ tall and not very mobile, and absolutely loves these! For those of you who bought Rock Hard steps, they are an absolutely stand-up outfit. I’ve dealt with them in the past, and just met with Chad at Off-Road Expo last weekend; great guy. Also met with Tanner at Rock Slide Engineering, another good one. Probably going with Rock Hard’s skid plate system before too long.

I’m just curious- seeing quite a few guys voting for rock slide engineering…. I have known several people in the jk community that pivoted on these and used them on the rocks and they were pretty jacked up… to the point that the steps would no longer open…

Has anyone with these actually used theirs out on the rocks and can attest to them holding up to the weight of the vehicle and pivoting/sliding??

The idea is great. I’m just concerned opinions of daily driving are being posted vs on the rocks wear and tear…
Not looking to argue. Just asking a straight up question 🤷🏽‍♂️🍺

Frame mounted. Full top plates. Available for with or without Rubicon rails, but without does not hide the pinch seam and additional clearance is slight.

I like them with said rails, for foot kick protection.

Line-X’d, due to Michigan weather and a lack of intended purpose use beyond steps and/or… boulders. Hah!

Anyone running Shrockworks or Rocky Road sliders? Ace Engineering looks good and so does RH 4x4.

Took a couple of pics of my RH4x4 angle up while I was replacing my rack with a canopy this weekend.
