Surprisingly high quality
The Gen 2 Step Sliders for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler offer a robust combination of automatic deployment steps and rock slider protection and are super durable. They take hard hits without bending or compromising the auto deployment function

These (AX-SS-SP-JL4) are GEN2 skid plates
I ordered the steps and skid plates at the same time, while my Wrangler was in-production with Jeep. The Jeep eventually arrived and coordinated with buddy/mechanic for installation. The steps went in beautifully, but the plates did not work/slightly different form. I called RockSlide and through them discovered the AX-SS-SP-JL4 are for the GEN2 steps and that AX-SP-300-JL4 are correct for the GEN3 steps. Extreme currently doesn't stock the AX-SP-300-JL4. These things (GEN2) are beautiful, just can't use them on my GEN3 steps and had to send back. However, the steps themselves are AWESOME!

Great for offroading, not for mall crawlers
I was considering remove my running boards but these preserve them as well as looking super cool. I recommend these to anyone less mobile as they age but still wanting to go off roading

RSE step skid plates
These sliders are a fantastic addition of armor for the power steps. Very precise cut, to match the power step and the fit is close enough to practically snap into place

tailgate shelf/table
Have not had an opportunity to use it yet but seems like it will be useful. I like the way it folds up but it will add shelf space while tailgating or whatever. Does have some rattles which I intend to correct with some rubber washers.

Peace of Mind
This item is very durable and reasonably priced. It is easy to install and has plenty of strap length for any size tire. The beauty of this addition to your off-highway vehicle is the peace of mind that comes with having extra fuel and or water. The mounts are also theft-proof, which is nice if you leave your rig unattended at any time. No tools are required for installation. I highly recommend this item and would purchase it again.

Rock Sliders
Yes they are pricey but we use them every day and that makes a big difference. Get real about the installation and wiring Two guys relaxing with a 12 pack. Removal of old step sliders installation of new step sliders , wiring of step lights and additional armor skin. The only funny thing we noticed was upon completion and review we found that the factory assembler pre stamped rock slider upside down on the passenger side- we laughed a lot and figured if I roll it on the trail folks could read it. We had another beer and left it for character. Good times

Review shared from Rock-Slide Engineering Step-Slider Skid Plates 3.0 (18-25 Jeep Wrangler JL 4-Door)
A really good product
rock slide side steps fit flawless installed by my self worked 2 half days one for each side plug and play wiring was super simple no drilling all holes lined up, good job rock slide. Besides saving rocker panels,and being a very useful step they sit about even with front and rear fenders thus will save my jeep from rock chips and or road debris damage making these a good bang for your buck in my opinion

Nice look
We opted to use auto mounting tape to install these. I didn’t want to drill into the body and give corrosion a place to start. (I live 1/2 mile from the ocean). To fill the holes, we used motorcycle screw caps, the color of my Jeep, and it looks great.

These lights are amazing with the Rock Slide Engineering Steps, especially at night. They are bright so you can see the steps.

EZ Rackm
Very nicely made high quality. Easy to install and looks great. The only negative is I wish they would have add a Velcro strap to help secure the losses part of the web strap from coming undone while driving. Not a big deal I solve that issue by used a zip tie to help the strap end from coming undone.

Essie’s Step Slides
Excellent. Definitely NO regrets. Installation was well planned The installation of the electrical harness was easy and functional. Rock Slide technical support very promptly provided an addendum for the 2024 model revision of the off switch location near the OSB port
