Trail-Rated Protection. 12-Inch Automatic Power Step. No-Drill Installation.
The Ultimate Dual-Purpose Rock SliderThe Rock Slide Engineering 3rd Generation Step Slider is the most advanced side protection system ever built for the Jeep Wrangler JK. It solves the ultimate Jeep dilemma: choosing between high-clearance rock sliders for the trail or convenient side steps for daily entry.
Engineered and Made in the USA, this fully functional, trail-rated rock slider features an integrated power step that deploys 12 inches when you open your door. This 3rd Gen design features an additional 2 inches of step width on the back end for safer access to the rear seats.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Lifted Jeeps are difficult for kids and shorter passengers to enter, yet traditional "nerf bars" get crushed on rocks and reduce ground clearance.
The RSE Solution: A 10-gauge steel rock slider that protects your rocker panels, featuring a Smart Motor step that tucks flush inside the slider body while wheeling.
Key Features: 3rd Generation Technology
We eliminated gas struts to increase motor longevity. The step deploys and retracts consistently, even in harsh winter environments.
The step drops a full 12 inches from the slider body, providing a comfortable entry point even for Jeeps with 4+ inch lifts.
Designed to utilize factory mounting points for a 100% bolt-on installation. No drilling into your Jeep's frame or body.
Constructed from 10-gauge and 3/16" steel with stainless and aluminum internals to prevent rust and handle moderate trails.
Includes a stand-alone wire harness. No splicing into your factory wiring is required, keeping your manufacturer warranty intact.
A built-in sleep mode minimizes battery drainage, ensuring your Jeep starts even after sitting for extended periods.
Magnetic door sensors trigger the step instantly. Close the door, and it sits flush with the slider body automatically.
An automated powder coat system acid-etches the steel before applying a textured black topcoat for maximum adhesion.
Built for the Toughest TerrainThe Rock Slide Engineering Step Sliders are more than just power steps—they are rugged armor. Made with 3/16" steel and precision-welded in the USA, they protect your rocker panels from boulders and trail debris. For those hitting the most aggressive "black diamond" trails, optional skid plates can be added for ultimate peace of mind.

"The Gen 3 Step Sliders are a game changer. My wife and kids can actually get into the Jeep without a ladder, and I don't have to worry about bashing my rocker panels on the rocks at Moab. The new motor is much quieter and faster than the previous version. Worth every penny for a dual-purpose rig."
- Mike S., JK Wrangler Owner Important Performance NoteTrail Rating: The Step Slider is rated for moderate off-road conditions. If you frequently run aggressive rock-crawling trails, we highly recommend adding the Optional Skid Plates (AX-SP-300) to provide maximum stability and motor protection.

No. The 3rd Gen Step Sliders include a Sleep Mode designed specifically to minimize power consumption. Even if the Jeep sits for days, the battery drain is negligible.
The Smart Motor technology and the removal of the gas strut significantly improve reliability in harsh weather. We recommend a quick rinse of the internals after heavy mudding to keep the mechanism operating smoothly.
Yes, but you will need the optional Door Delete Kit (SL-DD-100). This allows you to operate the steps via a manual switch when the magnetic door sensors are not in use.
No. These are designed as a no-drill installation. They utilize your Jeep's factory mounting locations for a clean, secure fit that won't damage your vehicle's body.
The step is designed to handle the weight of any adult passenger safely. However, the outer slider body is built to handle the weight of the entire vehicle during moderate off-road impacts.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
