Types
Even though they serve relatively the same purpose, rock sliders come in four different types: • Classic rock sliders – intended to protect the vehicle's side but can help to get in and out of the vehicle. • Side steps with rock slider support – the general purpose is to help people get in and out of the vehicle, but additionally, the steps protect the vehicle from off-roading hazards, such as rocks. • Power running boards – an electrically powered board that gets in out and hides away whenever the doors are opened/closed. Primarily serves as a modern and lightweight side step but additionally protects the vehicle from underneath. • Rock sliders with rock skins – a combination of classy side steps and rocks skins. Rocks skins are stripes of steel usually drilled into the vehicle's body to protect it from dents, scratches, and other off-roading damage. ==References==
