Features & Product Details

When a Jeep club or 4x4 organization works with the BLM or Forest Service to open a new trail, the first run is usually the toughest. That’s the idea behind the Trailbreaker Series—built for the kind of day where you don’t know what you’re going to hit, you just know it’ll be rough.

If I could only take one set of rock sliders to a true trail-breaking event on my JT, this is what I’d pick: a frame-mounted design that can take repeated hits, slide cleanly, and protect the areas most sliders leave exposed—including a real boatside transition when you choose the skin packages.

These Jeep Gladiator JT sliders are designed for serious rock use—not “step-only” duty—so you can pivot off obstacles, drag the belly without worry, and keep the lower body protected trail after trail.

What’s New vs the Rimrocker Series (Previous Generation)

The Trailbreaker Series replaces the prior Rimrocker Series sliders with improvements that matter on hard trails:

Major weight savings vs welded steel faceplate designs

More ground clearance (bottom tube raised ~1.5"+ compared to Rimrocker generation)

True boatside protection options that fill the gap between the slider and frame rail for a smoother underbody line

No bottom-tube aluminum slug required: strength is built into the tube design with thicker DOM where impacts occur

Bolt-on capable frame mounting (with drilling) while still supporting weld-on installation for extreme users

Construction & Materials

Core Slider Structure (Steel)

Trailbreaker sliders use a true dual-tube, frame-mounted structure built for repeated impacts:

2" Diameter DOM structural steel tubing

Top tube: .188" wall DOM for strong side protection with smart weight control

Bottom tube: .250" wall DOM where the slider takes the hits—maximum strength in the impact zone

Frame Mounting System (Steel Brackets)

Laser-cut, CNC-formed steel brackets using a strength/weight optimized blend of:

3/16" steel where formed strength and reduced bulk make sense

1/4" steel where maximum rigidity and load distribution into the frame are required

Slider Configuration Options: Choose your slider configuration based on how you wheel today—and how you may want to upgrade later.

Option 2: 7075 Boatside (7075 Skins) HERE; Option 3: Glide Boatside (7075+UHMW) HERE

Option 1: Bare Bones (No Skins): A premium frame-mounted slider system with no aluminum skins, no UHMW, and no pre-installed threaded rivet nuts.

Built to take impacts as a true frame-mounted rock slider

Allows you to add skins later if you want the boatside + outer armor surfaces

Best for customers who want the core structure now and plan to upgrade down the road

Note: If you select Bare Bones, skins can be added later with NV's conversion kits.

Clearance & Boatside Benefits

The boatside design is functional trail geometry:

Covers the gap between slider and frame rail, reducing snag points

Creates a smoother “ramp” that helps the Jeep transition up and over obstacles instead of hanging up on edges

Adds protection to areas many sliders leave exposed, including common body mount / frame bracket regions

HOW FAR DOES THE SLIDER HANG DOWN FROM THE BODY?

1" below the JT pinch seam (as measured from the lowest point of the tube)

3 1/8" above the JT frame rail

Installation Options

These are frame-mounted sliders intended to take vehicle weight on rocks.

Bolt-on capable with drilling (uses factory holes plus recommended added holes)

Weld-on recommended for extreme use for maximum rigidity and long-term durability

Pinch seam relief required to tuck the slider high and tight

Controlled notch/trim method designed to maintain body sealing (no cutting that would create leaks)

Suspension / Long Arm Fitment Notes

Many long arm suspension systems use rear lower control arm frame mounts that can interfere with a full-coverage boatside panel.

To reduce install hassle and avoid customer trimming, the boatside panels are pre-cut to clear most long arm kits in the most common interference area.

If you’re running a long arm kit: this pre-cut design is intended to bolt up cleanly on most popular systems.

If you’re running mid arms (or staying stock) and want a fully closed boatside line: a bolt-on Close-Out Kit is in development to fill that relief area (coming soon).

Note: aftermarket variations exist. Minor hand fitting may still be required depending on your exact suspension and frame mount geometry.

Additional Notes

Vehicles vary—minor hand fitting may be required due to factory tolerances and aftermarket combinations.

Lead times are estimates and may shift due to material/labor availability and order volume.

Designed and fabricated in the USA: laser-cut, CNC-formed, and hand-welded with pride by Next Venture Motorsports in Grand Junction, CO.

Weights & Shipping: Installed weight is TBD lbs per side in 'bare bones' configuration, and steps up to TBD and TBD lbs respectively with boatsides and the glide boatsides respectively.
