Boatside Steel & Aluminum Rocker Armor for Jeep Wrangler JLU 2018+

This boatside rocker armor gives the four-door Jeep Wrangler JLU maximum clearance where the body meets the rocks. Instead of a flat slider face, the armor angles up and inboard like a boat hull, so the long JLU body slides over ledges rather than hanging up on a slider edge. It is a two-piece layered build: 3/16" steel guards and support brackets carry the structural load, while 1/4" heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminum plating covers the body for protection without the weight penalty of full steel. Artec engineered it from factory CAD files and 3D Creaform laser scans, and it bolts on with no welding.

Features

• High-clearance boatside geometry angles the armor inboard so the body slides over obstacles
• 3/16" steel guards and support brackets handle the impact load
• 1/4" heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminum plating sheds weight without giving up coverage
• 5/16" zinc-plated steel countersink fasteners sit flush for a snag-free face
• Two-piece layered construction, CNC laser cut, formed, and countersunk
• Designed from factory CAD files and 3D laser scans for a precise bolt-on fit
• American made

Fitment is the four-door Wrangler JLU (2018 and up) only — the two-door JL body is shorter and is not covered, and Gladiator owners should look at the JT Boatside Steel & Aluminum Rocker Armor. The kit can work alongside many aftermarket guards, though modifications may be needed depending on brand. Prefer a lighter, flat-face panel?
