Why Rock Sliders?

Do I Really Need Rock Sliders on My Van?

Even if you’re not tackling extreme off-road trails, the answer is often yes.

We designed the APEX Series Rock Sliders not just for hardcore overlanders, but for everyday vanlifers and road trippers who understand how vulnerable a long wheelbase van with a tight turning radius can be. You don’t need to be rock crawling to damage your Sprinter’s side panels.

From hidden fire pits and low stumps at campsites to bollards at gas stations or parking lot curbs, real-world hazards can cause serious and expensive damage to your rocker panels. Rock Sliders serve as a first line of defense—keeping your trip on track even if you do make contact with an obstacle.

It’s not about pushing limits. It’s about protecting your investment so you can focus on the adventure—not the repairs.

Key Features:

APEX Rock Slider / Side Step Features

• Shorter Driver side for accessibility!
  • Passenger Side: 103" length provides full protection along the entire length of the vehicle.
  • Driver Side: 82" length offers robust protection, covering the most critical areas of your van while leaving space for a Heater or existing side ladder setup.
