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.
- INDY Protective Coating: Features a nonslip, highly durable INDY Protective Coating to protect your vehicle from rocks, stumps, and other debris. This coating helps prevent stone chips and rust, preserving your van's exterior and extending its lifespan.
- Maximized Ground Clearance: Designed to sit just under the rocker panels, the Apex Rock Sliders cover the pinch seam, providing added clearance and protection. If you’re looking for an even lower step, check out our Drop Down Rock Sliders.
- Custom-Bent Design: The sliders are bent to perfectly follow the natural curves of your Sprinter's rocker panels, ensuring a seamless fit and full coverage.
- Lifting Support: Reinforced for strength, these sliders can support your van's weight when lifted, preventing damage to the pinch seam and preserving your vehicle's structural integrity.
- Pair with IBEX Side Ladder: For easy access, the APEX Rock Sliders are designed to complement our IBEX Side Ladder, giving you an efficient step up into your van.

- Space for Heater or Side Ladder: The 82" driver-side slider provides ample space for a Heater or your existing side ladder while still offering critical protection to your van's rocker panels.
Designed specifically for the 144 Sprinter, the APEX Series Rock Sliders deliver the ultimate in protection, ground clearance, and convenience. Whether you're off-roading or navigating city streets, these sliders will safeguard your investment and make accessing your van easier than ever.
