True Frame-Mounted | Bolt-On Strength | Tri-Guard Powder Coat

Built Long. Built Strong. Real Rock Protection for Your Gladiator.

The Turn Offroad Rock Sliders for the Jeep JT Gladiator are engineered to protect more than just your doors—they're designed to shield your extended wheelbase and bed from serious trail damage. These are not steps disguised as sliders—they’re the real deal.

Using a proprietary mounting method that bolts directly to the frame (not the body mounts), our system combines factory fasteners with Grade 10.9 self-threading bolts that cut directly into the ¼″ steel frame rails of the JT. This delivers unmatched rigidity and structural integrity—on par with welded sliders, but with bolt-on convenience.

Key Features

True Frame-Mounted System
Bolts directly to the JT’s frame for uncompromising strength. Unlike typical body-mount sliders, this system resists flex under load and supports full vehicle weight on hard hits.
Proprietary Dual-Fastener Design
Combines factory mounting points with Grade 10.9 self-threading bolts. Anchors directly into ¼″ thick frame steel for welded-level strength—no welding required.
Engineered for the Gladiator’s Length
Extra-long design protects from the front doors to just before the rear wheel well—shielding the most vulnerable areas of your JT from rocks, stumps, and ledge drops.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Made from 3–5 mm laser-cut steel plate and tube and internally reinforced for durability over the JT’s extended wheelbase.
Functional Step Surface
Doubles as a rock-solid step for rack or bed access. No flex—just clean utility and confidence underfoot.
Tri-Guard Powder Coat Finish
Our industry-leading 3-stage finish resists rust, corrosion, UV damage, and abrasion. Matte black texture looks good and grips well.
Bolt-On Installation
No cutting. No welding. Just smart engineering that delivers serious performance and installs cleanly using factory frame points.

Solid Potential, but Hardware and QC Issues Need Addressing

Overall, these frame-mounted Jeep JT Gladiator Step rock sliders are a solid product at a fair price point, and they look fantastic once installed. However, there are a few key areas where the customer experience falls short.

Documentation: The kit lacks basic written instructions, and by basic, we mean none. At a minimum, there should be guidance on which frame leg is intended for the driver vs. the passenger side, as well as a diagram specifying bolt placement.

Hardware Incompatibility (JT Gladiator): We ran into a significant issue with the driver-side rear bolt. The Gladiator features a female-threaded hole from the factory that requires an M12-1.50 fine-thread bolt. The kit provided an M12-1.25 (30mm) bolt, which is the wrong thread pitch. After verifying this with a thread pitch gauge, we had to order the correct hardware from Amazon overnight, as local stores only carried the 1.25 and 1.75 variants.

Finish Quality: The powder coating is unfortunately quite fragile. We noticed chips and deep grooves straight out of the box. While rock sliders are meant to take a beating, this coating is exceptionally soft and scratches easily during a standard installation.

With better hardware accuracy and a more resilient finish, these would be top-tier sliders.

Make no mistake with our rating, we are very happy with this product. We intend to put these through several test phases and will report findings on our social pages, but, as of right now, you cannot beat the price point for a decent set of full-length frame-mounted step sliders for the JT platform.

Solid sliders, Great company

First of all these things are beefy, very solid and very heavy, they’re going to be bullet proof. When it arrived the box was damaged from shipping, but the sliders were super well packaged and didn’t even have a scratch. They are seem like they’re going to be great sliders that give good protection from side impacts, have high clearance so they won’t snag. The powder-coat was also great, it’s really thick and durable, I beat the hell out of them and dropped them a bunch trying to get them installed, and it held up really well. Unlike a lot of other frame mounted sliders around this price, these still give enough of a step to be completely usable, and the teeth on it mean it’s slip proof. If you’re a short guy like me, it’s been great getting in and out, and more importantly being able to access things on the roof.
As of writing this review, they don’t come with instructions and the video on the website is for an early version, that didn’t include the exact same hardware. That being said, I was able to figure out where most things go, with some help from customer service who were very responsive and helpful.
If like me, you have aftermarket skid plates on yours and are worried about it interfering, or having to remove them to install it, It was easy enough to unbolt one side at a time, and sandwich the brackets for these sliders in between. I will warn you, don’t attempt to install these by yourself without access to a lift, it was way too difficult to manhandle this alone in the parking lot, and I don’t recommend it because it’s an injury waiting to happen. a friend is for sure necessary. I also encountered some issues with my frame when trying to install the bolts. My Jeep had some sections of the frame that were super hard, and some that weren’t, in my case, the lower bolt holes were very difficult to drill, and one of them stripped the self tapping bolt, ate the threads right off. I found it helped to take an M10x1.50 tap and get the cut started, and then hit it with the self tapping bolts, but don’t go all the way through with the tap, or the bolt holes may be a bit loose. I called the customer service line about the self tapping bolts that didnt survive, and Todd was extremely gracious and helpful about providing new hardware, I seriously can’t recommend this company enough, they have been quick to reply to emails, always answered the phone and we’re all around good, friendly people. It was clear they care about the customer and their product.
