Description
Rock Slide Engineering’s newly designed 3rd Generation Step Slider is next level. This fully functional, trail rated, rock slider is integrated with a power step for easy access for all demographics. Cosmetic changes allow the step to curve and follow the contour of the vehicle, minimizing spacing between the rear end of the extension to the fender flare. An additional 2 inches on the back end of the step has been added to this generation for better, safer access to the rear door. Our engineers have incorporated smart motor technology and eliminated the gas strut from the internals of the step to increase the motor longevity. This improvement will keep your step deploying and retracting consistently, even in cold and harsh weather. A sleep mode has been built in to minimize battery drainage. The slider provides protection for the rocker panel on your Jeep. The step will deploy a full 12 inches down from the body of the Slider when the door is opened. After closing your door, the step will automatically retract and sit flush with the body of the step slider.
Our Step Slider is made of 10-gauge steel construction. We use a state-of-the-art automated powder coat system to acid etch the raw base material in preparation for the textured black topcoat. The internals of the step slider are made of stainless steel and aluminum to prevent rusting. This plug and play system is designed to utilize the factory mounting points for a no-drill installation. It uses a stand-alone wire harness, so no splicing or rewiring on your Jeep is necessary. This will allow you to retain your manufacturer warranty after installation. The Step Slider is rated for moderate off-road conditions. More aggressive trails require the additional skid plate for the step slider to provide further stability and protection.

Jeeps are not the easiest to get in and out of. But there is a fine balance between function and form. In my own opinion, there is not 1 rock slide rail that offers the brute force of your jeep falling on a rock that can protect your rig but also give you a deployable step when its time to get out then the step slider for the gladiator. The other big “xl” name out there has tried to find something similar to compete, but I think they should stick to SUVs and Lifted Street Trucks. The money is well worth it and the 2 times I had questions on my product, I was responded too within minutes which is unheard of these days. Hats off to the engineering these guys do and being USA made makes it all the more worth it.

These are five star rock sliders and an electric steps are a game changer. This has also made my wife (she is 5’-4” tall) so happy. With my 6” Lift and 37” tires, it was hard to get into, for shorter people The installation was only 3 hours, with easy to read, step by step instructions and the pictures were great. It took me longer to get my old rock sliders off that were riveted on, than to put the new Rock Slide Engineer steps on. Also, there was an issue during shipping with one step/box, and one item was damaged. I contacted the warranty department and they shipped out a new part in 24 hours. Thanks warranty team. I am super stoked to try these out in Moab.
Great product!!
Cheers, and happy Jeeping!

Love the step sliders! Installed them myself in the garage without a lift or a jack. Had an issue with some components and the support team at Rockslide were awesome and shipped out a part right away. Immediately took the truck to Big Bend National park in South Texas. It was dirty, rocky and the sliders provided great rock slide protection and the steps functioned flawlessly.
Great product!

These were easy to install. Now my short (5′ 2″) wife has no problem getting into my new Gladiator. I am looking forward to “trail testing” these as soon as possible. On a previous Jeep Rubicon, we had a set from a different supplier that were all aluminum. Needless to say, they were destroyed on our first trail run. I am looking forward to the steel ones doing much better than that!
