Rock Hard 4x4 Patriot Series Tube Slider Rocker Guards Angled Up for Jeep Gladiator JT 2020+
$899.95
Rock Hard 4x4 is very proud to offer the heaviest duty and easiest to install bolt-on tubular rock sliders for the Jeep Gladiator JT.

The RH4x4 Jeep Gladiator Tubular Rock Sliders are the ultimate rocker guard upgrade for wheelers of all skill levels. All the benefits of the low profile factory Rubicon rails plus a welded on tubular step that not only makes entry and exit from your Jeep easier, it also helps keep your body panels off the rocks!

Innovation and originality make these a world class body armor upgrade. 100% Made in the USA and an undisputed reputation as a game changer - meet the RH4x4 Tubular Rocker Guard set.

Features:
  • Doubles as 3.5" Step
  • 100% Bolt on Install
  • Black Powder Coat Finish
  • 100% Made in USA
  • Lifetime Warranty
Functional Design
These bolt on just like your Rubicon sliders but give you much more capability both on and off the trail. Each mounting bar is 2" x 3" .120 thick steel making them indestructible rock crushers. We then set them in a jig and weld on 1 3/4" .120 tubing giving you a step you don't know how you lived without. The tube also helps keep your Jeep off the rocks by giving you a steel "cushion" that takes all the abuse the trail can throw at them.

Each slider's end cap is welded shut to prevent debris, water, and dirt from getting inside.

Ease of Installation
The secret behind our system's ease of install is precise fitment. We mount not just to your body's pinch seam like "import" versions of tubular rails, we also mount to your body bolts with tabs over 3 times the factory width plus through the floor of your JT in existing holes. This means more mounting points for a stronger, rattle free, and exact fitting rock rail. Included in every hardware pack are shims that also allow for our heavy duty hardware to perfectly align your sliders underneath your Jeep for a look that can't be beat by "one size misfits all" imports.

FAQ:

Is any welding required?
No. Our Rocker Guards are a bolt-on install.

Body lift compatible?
No.

Commonly asked dimensions:
Door outwards to top of rail: 3" (step out distance)
Distance from bottom of door cutout to top of rail: 4" (step down distance)
Distance from rectangular rail to top of tube: 3.5" (distance tube sticks up from top of rail)



Why don't we simply mount "around" my OEM Rubicon rails?
To mount around your Rubicon rails we'd have to eliminate our welded in studs along the sides of our rails. This would greatly lessen their mounting strength and ability to distribute load along the rail. We choose to replace your Rubicon rail completely so we can mount in more places along your Jeep's body.

Is any trimming required to the OEM fenders prior to Tubular Rocker Guard installation?
No. You do not have to trim your OEM fenders at all for clearance. Some other competing sliders require trimming up to 5/8" of an inch off your plastic fenders.

What finish is available?
RH4x4 Rocker Guards ship powder coated black with a semi-smooth, semi-gloss finish. Raw, paintable finish available upon request.

Where is this Rocker Guard set made?
This product, like all RH4x4 parts, was designed, developed, tested, manufactured, and if applicable, powder coated, and shipped in the USA. And we don't mean the 75% legal standard to be able to say Made in USA. We are 100% Made in the United States of America!

What is Rockhard 4x4?

The concept for Nebraska-based Rockhard 4x4 was started in the 1980s by Lewish Barth and his son, James. The two of them had been building off-road cages and bumpers for more than 20 years. By the 1990s, the duo was building so many cages for friends that transporting them became quite difficult. Welding the cage in was not something that everyone could do, and that’s when the bolt-in design was born. It was at that time that Rockhard 4x4 became home of the “do it yourself” cage installation. The brand has since evolved from DIY cage installation to a full-service manufacturing plant.

Why Choose Rockhard 4x4?

Rockhard 4x4 employs state-of-the-art CNC machining centers and combines that with laser cut precision and extraordinary craftsmanship. With this approach, Rockhard is able to take the bolt-in design of bumpers, cages, sliders, and skid plates to the next level. The company’s patented locking collar design sets itself apart in the aftermarket industry with its superior quality and proven strength. The locking collar connection is irrefutably strong and arguably stronger than other weld-in cages. While many competitors have tried to duplicate its design, none have come even close to the quality and workmanship offered by Rockhard 4x4. 

Rockhard 4x4 is known for producing exterior products that make off-roading in Jeeps a lot safer, smoother, and more comfortable. Its products are easy to install, provide paramount protection, exude aggressive styling, and won’t break the bank.

Quality Made in the USA

Rockhard 4x4 proudly manufactures all of its parts and systems in its 30,000 square-foot production facility in Nebraska. There is a certain level of quality and control you can only maintain when building products in the U.S. with a family running the show, and Rockhard proves just that. The experts at Rockhard 4x4 are off-road enthusiasts and wheelers themselves, so they know just how to manufacture armor that will instill confidence in the customer and provide strength-proven protection on America’s most demanding trails.
