Rock Sliders (Sill Protectors)
Rock sliders are strong steel or aluminium bars mounted along the sills to protect the body when driving over rocks.
What is Rock Sliders (Sill Protectors)?
They are bolted to the chassis, not the body panels. Some can also be used as a step. They protect areas that are expensive to repair. Some designs include a side step and jacking points.
How it works
The vehicle can rest or slide on the bars instead of crushing the sills.
Why it matters for your car
Cheap tubes mounted only to body panels give little protection. They add weight and may reduce ground clearance slightly.
