This rocker armor is laser cut and CNC formed from 1/8" 5052-H32 Aluminum alloy, and is intended as a secondary layer of protection behind true frame mount rock sliders like our Rimrocker Sliders. Next Venture Motorsports JKU rocker armor can also be used to clean up the appearance of your JK if you've sustained body damage prior to upgrading your sliders!
Features
Light-weight 1/8" 5052 Aluminum Construction
CAD Designed from precise 3D scans and precision laser cut for a great fit!
Mounting kits included (configuration specific)
Bolt Patterns match Next Venture Rear High Line Fender Flares for compatibility and additional tie in points to the body for the flares
Made In Colorado, USA
Compatibility and Options
Next Venture's JKU Rocker Armor is compatible with nearly all aftermarket frame mounted rock sliders with the below three configuration options. You will need to choose one of the first two options if your JK is already equipped with the Rimrocker Series Rock Sliders.
0 Holes - "Stick On"/ Drill To Match (Universal Compatibility)
Comes pre-cut with NO mounting holes
Ideal if your body is completely straight and you don't want to put additional holes in it!
Can be installed with included 3M VHB Double Sided Mounting Adhesive for zero drilling installation
Can be drilled out to match existing rivet nuts already in your JK body tub - a commonly requested feature from customers that are removing previously installed body mounted rock sliders to swap out for frame mounted rock sliders
9 Bolt (For Bolt On Install With Next Venture Rimrocker Sliders)
Due to the boatside shape and full coverage nature of our Rimrocker Rock Sliders, it's nearly impossible to drill all of the holes you might find in most typical Jeep Rocker Armor installations
This mounting configuration is pre-cut only for the hole locations that are 100% accessible with existing Rimrocker Sliders already installed
9 Holes are precut, including those compatible with the rear high line fenders
Mounting Hardware and 3M VHB Double Side Mounting Adhesive is required and included with this configuration
20 Bolt (Full Bolt On Install - Not For Use With Rimrocker Sliders)
20 Holes are pre-cut along both flanges
Mounting is done entirely with included rivet nuts and 1/4-20 bolts
Note: This configuration is NOT compatible with the Rimrocker Series Rock Sliders - as their coverage will prevent installation of nearly half of the mounting locations. Please choose either the "stick on" or "9 bolt" configurations instead if you have the Rimrocker Sliders
Installation and Coating Notes
Rivet nut tool is required for installation unless using "stick on" configuration without fasteners
We do recommend sealing/coating any holes that are drilled for rivet nuts to prevent corrosion of exposed metal
Paint or Coating is required - these ship bare metal! We recommend a metal protectant such as Sharkhide (a marine grade clear coat) to be used if you would like a natural aluminum finish appearance with minimal maintenance.
Set ships as a pair of left and right.
