Rocker panels are one of the first places a Wrangler gets chewed up on the trail, and a plain rock slider does not always cover the sheet metal between the fender flares. This rocker guard is a vehicle-specific panel that follows the shape of the JLU body and covers the rocker from the front fender flare to the rear one. RCI cuts each piece with a CNC laser and forms it on a brake, which is how it gets the tight, high-clearance fit it is designed for.
The guards are made from 1/8 inch 5052 aluminum. You can order them in raw aluminum, or with a multi-stage textured black powder coat that RCI says is meant to resist rust, corrosion and trail abrasion and to sit well alongside popular aftermarket bumpers and accessories. Aluminum is lighter than a steel panel of the same size, though it is not the choice if you plan to use it as a pry point.
Fitment
Listed for the 2018 and newer Jeep Wrangler JLU 4-door, all trim levels. It does not fit the 2-door JL.
What's included
The guards come with all of the hardware needed for installation. RCI also publishes an installation guide for the 18+ JLU rocker guards.
Availability
These are made to order, so they ship on a lead time instead of from stock. RCI keeps a current lead-time page on its website, and we can check where things stand when you order.
