Nissan frontier Rockrails / Rock Sliders / Rocker panel protection

UROC Competitor, Bart Jacobs, uses and abuses our Rockrails on his competition Cherokee as the only rocker protection capable of withstanding this type of world class abuse!

Rocky Road Rockrails are the creme' de la creme' of the rocker protection world. We use 1/4" inner hitch steel to make sure your bars do NOT bend! Anything else is just plain flimsy. Most other rocker sliders are made from thin 1/8" wall material and a good number of the Rockrails we sell are to those who have bought these thinner bars and have bent them up. Even slick looking dual tube designs that appear to offer better protection are still only made from 1/8" steel and will bend on a hard impact. As pretty as those dual tube jobbers may look, when push comes to shove, and rocks come to crunch, those dual tubers will bend.... and many times, they'll shove themselves up into the body causing vehicle damage when they do collapse. We know, we've replaced many of them for customers as well. At 1/4" thick, ours are the absolute strongest rocker protection you can buy in the universe

We've had questions about the mounting system. Some kits mount to the frame for this vehicle.... bad, bad idea. Unless you are planning to weld the rock sliders to your frame and are skilled enough not to overheat and create more problems, after a few whacks, the bolts on frame mounted rock sliders will begin to loosen and tear out. The problem is that the frame is so far out from the point of impact, that leverage is fighting against you. Actually put those kits to the test and they will work loose and fail over time. Don't be duped, be smart... you can't fight leverage when several thousand lbs comes crashing down on a rock or log.

Our solid mounting system triangulates the mounting for a more durable and stronger system. Your truck also have a great deal of flex between the body and frame. Frame mounted rockers have to mount pretty low so that when this flex occurs, the bars don't hit your body paint. Our unique mounitng system allows us to tuck the Slider bars up higher for not only better looks, but also greater clearance.

The Rockrails have a very sleek rounded look about them as we use genuine inner hitch steel in their construction. Some kits go cheap on finish and just chop a square end on their rock sliders. Not only does it look cheap, but you end up with a blunt battering ram instead of a nice smooth rock slider. We take the time to ramp the ends of our Rockrails so that they actually SLIDE over obstacles, not ram into them as with the competition's square end kits. We also use hitch steel in our construction which is not only very strong, it also has a nice radius corner instead of a hard boxy look. Inner hitch steel is the stuff you use to plug into 2" receiver hitches. Its sheer weight is astronomical as is its bending strength. Our shop press only goes to 40 tons and we can't even start to bend them. Do you think a scrawny little rock can hurt these things? Think again!

Why hitch steel?
Why not go with a lesser gauge steel to save production costs?
Because we wouldn't trust anything less to protect our vehicles and neither should you!

Besides, since these carry the Rocky Road **lifetime guarantee**, we don't want to have to replace them for you for free every couple years or so.

We made them indestructible so they'll last forever and they are guaranteed forever, NEVER to bend on you!

You'll find the Rockrails very attractive and will blend in nicely with your stock flares and moldings. They run fender to fender and many folks have commented on their very OEM (factory) look. They tuck tighter to the body than any other rocker on the market as well. In a nutshell, Rockrails are the strongest and thickest bars on the market, best mounting system, and are guaranteed NEVER to bend. Why wouldn't you get a set?

Some folks ask if they can handle a HiLift jack. HA! If a rock slider cannot handle a gentle upward push from a HiLift, how is it supposed to block an assault by a full body slam on a rock??? Our Rockrails can handle anything and everything you can throw at them and are guaranteed for life against denting or bending.

So if you want a flimsy mounting system that hangs too low and looks horrible with square ends... better shop at our competition. If you are looking for the best mounting system, sleekest look, smoothest trail profile, with maximum clearance, you have found the right place.

Now also available are the Rocky Road Super-sliders.

These rocker bars offer all the strength and warranty of our regular Rockrails, but with the added bonus of an additional upper tube. This upper tube can provide even more protection against sliding into rocks, trees, or other trail hazards.

Everyone who has seen these on our shop 4x4s has wanted a pair. They are unequaled in strength and looks.

They also make an excellent step for access to roof racks and such.

Each Super Slider kit mounts identical to the standard Rockrail for the vehicle. It also still features that great looking 45* front and rear edge. Not only good for looks, but alot more practical for trail use than our competition's squared off ends.

This is basically the same proven design as our world famous Rockrails, only with the extra slider tube up top. We don't have pictures of the Supersliders for the Pathfinder at this time, but the basic look is the same for all so check out the pics to the right for a good idea on this awesome design.

Nothing protects like the Rocky Road Supersliders.
