The Ultimate Hybrid: Trail-Rated Protection Meets Automated Convenience. No-Drill Installation.
Next-Level Protection & AccessibilityThe Rock Slide Engineering 3rd Generation Step Slider is the most sophisticated side protection system ever built for the Jeep Wrangler JL 2-Door. This isn't just a step; it’s a fully functional, trail-rated rock slider integrated with a precision power step designed for every demographic.
Covering all models from 2018-Present, the Gen 3 design features an additional 2 inches on the back end of the step for safer access to the rear. Our engineers have pioneered Smart Motor Technology, eliminating gas struts to ensure your steps deploy and retract consistently, even in the harshest sub-zero temperatures or mud-caked trails.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Lifted Jeeps are notoriously difficult for families to enter, yet standard side steps get crushed on the first rock they hit.
The RSE Solution: A 3/16" steel slider that protects your rocker panels, featuring a step that drops 12 inches when the door opens and tucks away flush for maximum ground clearance when you're off-road.
Key Features: Gen 3 Step Sliders
We eliminated gas struts to increase longevity. The new smart motor provides consistent deployment in freezing or harsh weather conditions.
The step drops a full 12 inches from the body of the slider, making it the most accessible power step on the market for lifted Jeeps.
Utilizes factory mounting points and a stand-alone wire harness. No splicing required, allowing you to retain your manufacturer warranty.
Built with 10-gauge steel and 3/16" steel brackets, finished with a state-of-the-art textured black powder coat system.
Built-in sleep mode minimizes battery drainage, ensuring your Jeep is ready to start even after being parked for extended periods.
The internal mechanisms are constructed from stainless steel and aluminum to prevent corrosion in salt-heavy environments.
Trail-Rated RuggednessManufactured in the USA, the Rock Slide Engineering Step Slider is rated for moderate off-road conditions. For those who tackle aggressive "black diamond" trails, the slider is compatible with optional skid plates for maximum stability and reinforcement.

"The best upgrade I've put on my JL. My wife and kids can finally get in without a struggle, and I don't have to worry about bashing my rockers when we hit the trails in Moab. The Gen 3 motors are fast and much quieter than the previous versions I've seen. Truly a no-compromise product."
- Mike S., Jeep Enthusiast Important Performance NoteTrail Guidance: While these are true rock sliders, they are rated for moderate trails. If you plan on sliding over boulders or high-centering frequently, we highly recommend adding the AX-SP-300-JL2 Skid Plates for ultimate peace of mind.

Specifically engineered for the 2-door Jeep Wrangler JL wheelbase. Fits the following years:
2018-2023 Wrangler JL 2-Door 2024-2025 Wrangler JL 2-Door 2026 Wrangler JL 2-DoorPackage Includes: Driver & Passenger sliders, stand-alone wiring harness, magnetic door sensors, and all mounting hardware.
No. The Gen 3 Step Slider features an integrated Sleep Mode. This minimizes parasitic draw on the battery, ensuring your Jeep is ready to fire up even after extended downtime.
Absolutely not. This system is designed as a 100% No-Drill installation. It utilizes the existing factory mounting points on your Jeep Wrangler JL 2-Door.
If you remove your doors, the magnetic sensors will not trigger the steps. We recommend purchasing the optional Door Delete Kit (#SL-DD-100), which allows you to manually control the steps when the doors are off.
Yes. By removing the gas struts and incorporating Smart Motor Technology, Rock Slide has virtually eliminated the freezing issues common with other power steps. The internals are also stainless steel and aluminum to prevent rust from road salt.
Yes, they are trail-rated. However, for aggressive rock crawling where you expect heavy impacts, we strongly suggest adding the optional AX-SP-300-JL2 skid plates to protect the step mechanism and the slider body.

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
