Rock Sliders

Rock Sliders: bolt-on rocker protection that also earns its keep as a step

Rock sliders are steel bars that mount to the frame or rocker area and take the hit when your rig drags across a ledge, a stump, or a boulder on the trail. Unlike plastic factory running boards, rock sliders are built to carry the weight of the vehicle without folding, so you can pivot off an obstacle instead of caving in the rocker panel. Fit a set and you protect the most expensive sheet metal on the truck, and many designs double as a step to get in and out of a lifted rig.

What we stock

This category currently shows 10 products from 5 brands: Rock Slide Engineering, ARB, Body Armor 4x4, Fishbone Offroad, and Old Man Emu. Prices run from $190 to $2,074, the current range for what is in stock, not a promise. Rock Slide Engineering leads the sample with four listings, including the 22-24 Toyota Tundra Black Powdercoat Steel sliders and the 97-06 Jeep TJ Step Sliders at the top of the range. Body Armor 4x4 covers trucks and crossovers with the 05-22 Tacoma Double Cab Revo sliders and the 18-22 Subaru Crosstrek Revo sliders. ARB offers side-specific carrier options like the RHS black and LHS 80 Series black units.

Fitment data is available on 7 of the products, spanning model years 1997 to 2024. The top makes are Toyota, Subaru and Jeep, with named coverage on the Toyota Tundra, Subaru Crosstrek, Toyota Tacoma, Jeep Wrangler and Jeep TJ.

How to choose

The main trade-off here is protection versus utility and budget. A step-style slider like the TJ unit gives you a wide platform to stand on, which matters on a lifted Jeep, and it sits at the top of the price range. Body Armor 4x4's Revo sliders cover popular Toyota and Subaru platforms in the middle of the range. ARB's carrier sliders are sold as left and right sides, so confirm you are ordering both if you want a full set. Match the slider to your exact model, cab and bed configuration first, then decide whether you want a bar-only design or one that works as a step.

What else you need with it

Rock sliders pair naturally with the rest of the Truck and SUV gear and the wider Exterior section. If you are building out a trail rig, look at Mud Flaps to keep spray off the body, Tow Hooks for recovery points, and Lighting or LED Light Bars for the darker trails.

Fitment help and ordering

Confirm your year, make and cab configuration before you order, and if you are also sizing wheels and tires the wheel fitment calculator can help. All orders ship free, and Affirm and Katapult financing is available. Not sure a set fits your rig? Call fitment help at 813-535-5801 or reach us through Contact Us.
