These two shots compare the width of the
Lateral Protection Rocker Panel
Protection Sliders (LP1) with square outer rail and
the
Lateral Clearance Rocker Panel
Protection Sliders WITHOUT an outer
rail. The white Grand Cherokee ZJ on the first
page (ZJ Dreams) met a large rock face that he actually
scraped his rear door handle. With the LP1
Rocker Panel Protection,
they would have actually pushed him away from the rock face,
saving body damage as well as sidewall damage to your tire.
Measured outward from the pinch seam weld underneath the
rocker panels, these stick 7" further outboard, to
give protection to the tires and body panels. About
4" sticks out from the body, which is just enough for a
step to access your roof rack, or just to wash the roof, if
you are the type to actually wash your Jeep. Don't
laugh...some people are very superstitious about leaving the
dirt where it was. Don't want to mess up your mojo,
after all!
You can also
tell from the photo on the left how you can use the LP1
model to "pivot" around obstacles. Simply
steer right in to an obstacle (rock, tree, etc.) and it will
bring the rear end right around for you. It's a great
maneuver!
