Description

The 2nd Gen Rock sliders are a crucial component for serious off-roaders. They protect the rocker panels and doors from damage, especially when navigating obstacles by driving over them. The rocker panels and doors can sustain significant damage without rock sliders when the vehicle bottoms out. The H3 Hummer’s rocker panels were not designed to handle the vehicle’s full weight, making rock sliders essential for off-roading.

Beyond protecting the rocker panels, these rock sliders offer additional benefits. These rock sliders offer six pre-cut holes for safely jacking up the H3 Hummer with a Hi-Lift Jack, ensuring secure and stable positioning. The skid plate is made of durable 3/8-inch thick 5052 Aluminum and is replaceable in case of severe damage. The brackets attaching the rock sliders to the frame rail are one-piece, non-welded HRPO 3/8-inch bent steel, preventing rust issues caused by dissimilar metals. The 26 individual ribs, or 3.25-inch thick bracing on each side, are designed for a thin profile for optimal aesthetics and ultimate off-road functionality. The 1/8-inch step plate is exceptionally strong and conceals all bolts for a clean, polished appearance.

These 2nd-generation rock sliders are designed to address modern off-roading challenges. With heavier vehicles, rising gas prices, and escalating shipping costs, we’ve engineered a solution. Our 3/8-inch 5052 aluminum skid plates, extensively tested at Wind Rock Off-Road Park, provide exceptional durability while significantly reducing weight. Recognizing the impact of shipping costs on our 1st Generation Rock Sliders, we’ve prioritized a higher upfront cost for a better-designed, lightweight product. This approach eliminates the need for expensive shipping, ultimately delivering a superior rock slider at a more competitive price.

In conclusion, rock sliders are an indispensable component for serious off-road vehicles. They offer essential protection for the rocker panels and doors while also providing additional benefits, such as recovery points and maneuverability. Their robust construction and design ensure durability and reliability, making them a valuable investment for off-road enthusiasts.
