The TrailSlider is a dual-purpose rock slider and side step: a 2" diameter main tube with a 3/16" wall, fully welded and gusseted, mounted at the rocker panel on vehicle-specific brackets. This part is built for the 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator crew cab, with brackets that pick up factory mounting points under the body. This listing is N-Fab part number TSJ194, finished in textured black.

What's Included:

2x TrailSlider rock slider steps (driver and passenger side)
Vehicle-specific mounting hardware kit

Features

Slider and Step in One
The TrailSlider does two jobs with one part: it protects the rocker panels on the trail, and its outer tube is the step you use to climb in.

2" Main Tube, 3/16" Wall
The primary tube is 2" in diameter with a 3/16" wall, a heavier section than a typical step bar, chosen for impacts rather than looks.

Fully Welded and Gusseted
Every joint is fully welded, and gussets brace the structure so it resists bending and deforming under a hard hit.

Rocker-Panel Mounting
N-Fab classifies the TrailSlider as a rocker-panel mount: its brackets pick up factory mounting points under the body along the rocker. Most applications bolt on without drilling; where a vehicle needs a hole drilled, the Installation tab of that listing says so.

Textured Black Powder Coat
A textured black powder coat seals the steel against corrosion and gives the tube a grippier surface when it is used as a step. N-Fab warrants the finish for five years.

Sold as a Pair
Every order is two sliders, driver and passenger side, with the vehicle-specific hardware and instructions.

Fitment & Compatibility

Fit guidance: Fits the 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator crew cab. Match your cab before ordering: each bar is built for one body style.

Installation

Type: Bolt-on, no drilling · Tools: Hand tools (socket set, ratchet and a torque wrench) · Difficulty: DIY-friendly; a helper or jack stands make lifting each slider into place easier

If the vehicle has factory running boards, they come off first. Each slider is lifted into place against the body, its brackets lined up with the factory mounting points, and the hardware started loosely before everything is brought up to torque in the order N-Fab's sheet gives. The installation guide for this application uses the factory mounting points and does not call for drilling.

Warranty, Shipping & Returns

Warranty. N-Fab warrants the TrailSlider for life against defects in materials and workmanship, covering the tube, the gussets, the brackets and the welds, and warrants the powder-coat finish for five years. Both terms belong to the original purchaser, on the vehicle the product was first installed on, and they do not transfer if the vehicle is sold.

Free shipping. This part ships by ground parcel carrier to the lower 48 states.

Inspect on delivery. Open the carton the day it arrives and check every part and the hardware bag against the parts list before you start. A damaged or short kit reported in the first days is a quick replacement; one reported after installation is much harder to resolve.

Returns. Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. N-Fab charges a 20% restocking fee on any product returned without a defect, and an N-Fab representative has to confirm a defect in fit, form or function before a return is authorized, so please contact us before shipping a part back. If an item arrives damaged, defective or wrong, return shipping is on us. See our Returns & Refunds Policy, or email support@prestigetruck.com with any question.

About N-Fab

N-Fab designs and fabricates steps, running boards, rock rails and pre-runner bumpers for trucks, SUVs and vans, along with sports bars, racks and lighting mounts. Every N-Fab product carries a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship plus a five-year warranty on the powder-coat finish, both held by the original purchaser on the vehicle the part was first installed on.

The TrailSlider is the heaviest-tube slider in N-Fab's step range, built on a 2" main tube with a 3/16" wall. The RKR Rock Rails use a lighter 1.75" tube and can take detachable steps, which the RKR Step System includes. For a vehicle that stays on the road, N-Fab's Podium and Nerf Step hoop steps put the step first.

Most N-Fab parts start as steel tube that is bent, fully welded into a single assembly and finished in a multi-stage powder coat. Brackets and hardware are specific to each vehicle, so a part is engineered around one body's mounting points rather than adapted from a generic bracket.

Bolts to factory body mounts

N-Fab lists the TrailSlider as a rocker-panel mount: its brackets pick up factory mounting points under the body. If the vehicle has factory running boards, they come off and the sliders take their place.

A textured tube underfoot

The textured black powder coat seals the steel against corrosion and gives the tube a grippier surface when you use it as a step into the cab. N-Fab warrants the finish for five years.

Built to take the hit

The TrailSlider's 2" main tube has a 3/16" wall, and every joint is welded and gusseted, so it is sized for rocks and ledges rather than looks. A rock or ledge meets the slider before it reaches the rocker panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on specs, fit and support

Does it mount to the frame or the rocker panel?

N-Fab lists the TrailSlider as a rocker-panel mount. Its brackets pick up factory mounting points under the body along the rocker; which points depends on the vehicle, and the Installation tab of each listing describes them.

Do I have to remove my factory running boards?

Yes, if your vehicle has them. The TrailSlider takes their place, and N-Fab's instructions have you remove them first.

Do I have to drill into my vehicle to install it?

Most applications bolt to factory mounting points with the included hardware. Where a vehicle needs a hole drilled, the Installation tab of that listing says so.

Is the step wide enough to use every day?

The step is the 2" main tube itself, with a textured finish for grip. It is a slider first, so it is narrower than a flat running board; if a wide step matters more than rocker protection, a running board or hoop step will suit you better.

How much weight can the sliders take?

N-Fab does not publish a load rating for the TrailSlider, so we do not quote one. What it does publish is the construction: a 2" main tube with a 3/16" wall, fully welded and gusseted.

Will the finish hold up to road salt?

The steel is finished in textured black powder coat that N-Fab warrants for five years. Sliders get scraped on the trail, so touch up bare steel and rinse off salt through the winter to keep rust from starting.
