    Super Sliders

    Here are the first photos of The Steel Armadillo Super Sliders, I am considering making an optional dress plate that would fit between the slider and the door sill as well.













    A step plate can be added to the slider, it would be attached to the two center supports if desired.

    Nice!

    Should take some more pictures showing what they look like underneath, at the front and rear interfaces with the fender flares, and with the doors open.

    I will be working up the cost on this item this week.

    I have to pull them off my Jeep and have the manufacturer work up a jig and give me the production costs, I think I will be making three sets in the first run.

    Does your model offer any better clearance than the rocky road super sliders? I was thinking about them but they actually are made to mount below the black plastic sills. It looks like your replace the sills and should offer more clearance.

    Your observation is correct, I wish I had measured before I took my Rocky Road Sliders off but I did not, I think you pick up about 2" of clearance with the Steel Armadillo Slider over the Rocky Road.

    This is the Rocky Road:



    And this is the Steel Armadillo:



    You can see from the photos that the Rocky Road mounts from way under to the frame and sits under the body (I really bent up my rocky road supports) where as the Steel Armadillo Slider attaches to the side and under carriage of the body instead of the long reach to the frame.

    Remember that the purpose of Rock Sliders is to protect the body of the Jeep from trail damage. By mounting to the Jeep the way we do the slider will not cause damage to the Jeep as I experienced with the Rocky Road sliders which bent upward and crumpled my black plastic side trim.

    You have to remove the side trim to install the Steel Armadillo Slider, but I am working to see if you can trim the plastic piece to reinstall if you wanted too.
