Boatside Steel & Aluminum Rocker Armor for Jeep Gladiator JT 2020+

The Gladiator's long wheelbase is its weak spot on ledges, and this boatside rocker armor is Artec Industries' answer: the highest-clearance rocker protection they make for the JT. Rather than a flat slider, the armor tucks up and inboard like a boat hull, letting the long body slide across obstacles that would hang up a conventional rail. The layered two-piece design pairs 3/16" steel guards and support brackets with 1/4" heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminum armor plating — structure where the hits land, light weight everywhere else. Everything is CNC laser cut, formed, and countersunk from factory CAD files and 3D laser scans for a precise bolt-on fit.

Features

• Boatside geometry delivers Artec's highest rocker clearance for the JT
• 3/16" steel guards and support brackets carry the structural load
• 1/4" heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminum plating keeps overall weight down
• 5/16" zinc-plated steel countersink fasteners for a smooth, flush face
• Two-piece layered construction with support brackets for clearance and strength
• Engineered from factory CAD files and 3D Creaform laser scans
• Bolt-on install, no welding; American made

Fits the Jeep Gladiator JT (2020 and up) and is sold as a pair covering both sides; it can work alongside many other brands' guards or sliders, though modifications may be needed. If you want lighter, flat-face protection at a lower price, look at the JT Aluminum Rocker Armor; four-door Wrangler owners get the same boatside treatment with the JLU Boatside Steel & Aluminum Rocker Armor.
