JEEP ARMOR & PROTECTION

JK 4-Dr Body Armor (Steel) for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2016. Poison Spyder JK Body Armor is recommended equipment for any JK venturing into off road situations where body damage is eminent. JK Body Armor protects the thin factory sheet metal with rugged, precision-fit 3/16 inch plate steel or aluminum. Used by itself, JK Body Armor hugs the Jeep body contours to provide protection with no loss of ground clearance.

Used with the factory Rubicon rocker rails, the JK Body Armor helps prevent trail damage that can be caused by rocks pushing the factory rocker rails up into the body. And used with Poison Spyder JK Rocker Knockers, the JK Body Armor provides one more line of defense for your JK, in the Most complete, strongest, best looking package of rocker panel protection gear available for the JK.
Features:

• Fits snugly over your Jeep rocker panels to protect them from damage on the trail
• CNC laser cut, brake-formed 3/16 heavy duty steel
• Recommended for use with Poison Spyder JK Rocker Knockers (sold separately)
• Stainless steel mounting hardware and instructions provided

JK Body Armor is manufactured from either 3/16 inch high pressure steel plate or 3/16 inch 6061-T6 aluminum plate. Steel is preferred where the JK Body Armor will be installed by itself, without Rocker Knockers or other rocker panel protection. Aluminum is recommended where Rocker Knockers, the Stock Rubicon rocker rails or other rocker panel protection will also be used. The aluminum pieces are much lighter weight (27 lbs. lighter for the 4-door versions), yet still provide excellent load distribution characteristics when used as a secondary barrier in conjunction with external rocker rails.

Both steel and aluminum versions may be painted or powdercoated prior to installation, but only the aluminum ones may be installed raw without any protective coating. They may also be polished or clear-coated at the installers discretion. Both steel and aluminum parts are CNC-laser cut and precision brake-formed for a precise fit to the unique contours of the JK body. Bolt holes are countersunk, and stainless steel flat head cap screws are supplied for a clean, flush-surface installation. Drilling of the body is required for installation.
JK Body Armor is shipped in bare, unfinished metal. You will need to paint or powdercoat prior to final installation.
Note: Installation of this product includes drilling and installing 1/4-20 nut-serts. We provide a rudimentary tool in the kit for installing the nut-serts, however it can be tedious and frustrating to use. If you are going to be installing several products that require the use of nut-serts, you may find it worth the expense to purchase a Professional Nut-Sert Installation Tool. Also, the drill size required for this, 25/64 inch.

Poison Spyder offers a precisely-cut rubber liner to install between the Body Armor and the factory sheet metal. Although the Body Armor can be mounted without the liner, this additional component adds protection from debris collecting between the Body Armor while protecting your Jeep factory sheet metal and paint. The rubber liner is cut to match the lines of the Body Armor perfectly – no cutting or trimming is required. Liners are sold separately and do Not automatically come with the Body Armor kits.

JK 4-Dr Brawler Rockers (Steel) for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2016. Jeep JKs, especially the long wheelbase 4-door Unlimited, are extremely vulnerable to rocker armor damage on the trail. Poison Spyder Brawler Rockers provide the ultimate rocker armor protection while actually enhancing your Jeep off-road capability Not to mention they look bad-ass!
Features:

• Two-piece design combines body-hugging Body Armor with formed rub-rail
• Made entirely of CNC laser cut, precision brake-formed 3/16 high strength steel plate
• Rub rail ledge may function as an entry step
• Body tub mounting provides better ground clearance than frame-mounted sliders
• Stainless steel hardware and install instructions included

Brawler Rockers are two-piece mini-boatside style rocker armor. Each component is fabricated entirely of CNC-laser cut, precision brake-formed 3/16 inch plate steel. The upper piece fits the lower section of your Jeep exterior sheet metal like a glove, conforming to the subtle curvature of the JK and providing protection similar to Poison Spyder JK Body Armor. The lower piece incorporates an extremely strong rub rail that protrudes about 3.25 inch outboard of the Jeep body tub.

The top surface of the rub rail may also serve as an entry step. Below, the brake-formed 3/16 inch plate steel angles down and inward to form a high clearance boatside for sliding off of rocks and obstacles. Inside, an array of beefy 3/16 inch thick internal gussets provide ultimate strength to the Brawler Rocker. Oval lightning holes along the length of the boatside section provide great Poison Spyder looks while allowing access to hose out mud and debris after a day on the trail. The ends of the Brawler Rockers are capped in the same 3/16 inch plate steel, in angled facets that allow up to a 40 inch tire and visually integrate with the lines of Poison Spyder front and rear JK Crusher Flares.

The upper piece attaches to the body tube using supplied stainless steel flat-head cap screws and nut-serts. The lower piece attaches to the upper piece also with stainless steel flat-head cap screws and easy-to-install clip-nuts. All fastener holes are countersunk for a flat surface using the flat-head hardware. Underneath, the lower piece attaches at the Jeep body mounts. Attaching the Brawler Rockers in this way, along several different planes, provides triangulated strength to the entire assembly. The body-mount tie-ins ensure that they are securely integrated to the strongest structural component of the Jeepthe framewhile also allowing the Brawler Rocker to hug the body tub as closely as possible. Please Note that Brawler Rockers are Not compatible with body lifts.

Brawler Rockers are designed to handle a serious beating! They Not only provide unmatched rocker protection, but they also provide a super strong pivot point which can help you to maneuver through tight obstacles. The boatside design will allow the Jeep to slide off of rocks and back onto the center of the trail. The protruding rub rail keeps vertical obstructions such as trees and rock walls a safe distance from the Jeep doors and other vulnerable body parts. And when you need to change a tire or perform an extraction, the Brawler Rocker provides a strong, convenient lifting point for your Hi-Lift jack.

Brawler Rockers ship as bare steel, allowing you to paint or powdercoat in the color of your choice. Note that if you have previously installed Poison Spyder JK Body Armor, you will be able to re-use the existing nut-serts, saving a significant amount of installation time (Body Armor will have to be removed).

JK 4-Dr Ricochet Rockers Frame Mounted for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2016. Poison Spyder JK Ricochet Rockers provide rocker protection for your Jeep vulnerable body sheet metal, while also providing a convenient step for easily entering and exiting the Jeep. These Ricochet Rockers are mounted to the Jeep frame to provide the best protection possible without relying on the Jeep comparatively weaker body tub for support.
Features:

• Frame-mounted for ultimate strength and Dimpled step plate for easy entry
• Protects your Jeep rocker panels from damage on the trail
• 1.75 OD X .120 wall DOM main tube with 1.5 X .120 wall DOM slider tube
• CNC laser cut, triangulated outriggers

DOM Tube and Die-Dimpled Step Plates
The tubular rocker rail is rugged 1.75 inch X .120 wall DOM structural tubing. The slider rail is fabricated from CNC-bent 1.5 inch X .120 wall DOM tubing. Ricochet Rockers have a distinguishing 5 inch wide dimpled plate that acts as a step and a stout reinforcement for the slider. This makes the Ricochet Rocker protection a very effective armor addition and an effective pivot for getting your maneuvering your Jeep through tight spots on the trail. With the dimple protrusions pointing upward, they give the extra benefit of increased foot traction when entering or exiting the vehicle, even with boots covered with snow or mud. These step plates, as well as the corner gussets added at either end of the Ricochet Rocker, are CNC laser cut from 1/8 inch steel plate.
Frame-Mounted Outriggers
Frame-Mounted Ricochet Rockers attach to your Jeep frame rails through rugged, precision engineered outriggers on each side. The outriggers are fabricated of CNC laser cut 3/16 inch thick plate steel, and are designed in a triangular shape to act as their own gusset and provide superior strength. The outrigger wraps around the bottom and side of the frame rail for support on two planes. The outriggers are also located so they may be directly bolted to the sides of the Jeep body mounts for even more strength. Compare this design to competitors frame-mounted sliders that use a simple piece of non-triangulated, non-gusseted tubing welded to a plate that attaches to the side of the Jeep frame rail.
Bolt-On or Weld-On installation
Instructions and hardware are provided for a fairly easy bolt-on installation of the Frame-Mounted Ricochet Rockers. The procedure uses some existing mounting holes on your Jeep frame, but does require some additional drilling and tapping. Alternatively, installers may choose to weld the Ricochet Rockers in place.
Suspension and Body Lift Compatibility
Frame-Mounted JK Ricochet Rockers are Not compatible with typical long arm suspension kits, without some Do-It-Yourself modifications. The rearward support outrigger will likely interfere with the location of Most long-arm kits link brackets. For those wishing to install this product in conjunction with a long-arm kit, it may be possible to do so by ordering the Ricochet Rockers with the rearward outrigger Not welded on, and then locating and welding them in place during installation. To special-order the kit with the rearward outriggers un-welded, call our sales department at 951-849-5911. Also Note that, as a frame-mounted product, any body lift installed on the Jeep will result in a gap of the same height, between the Ricochet Rocker and the Jeep body tub.
Don’t Forget the JK Body Armor!
Poison Spyder JK Ricochet Knockers can be utilized as a stand alone component or can be used in conjunction with Poison Spyder JK Body Armor. JK Body Armor is a secondary line of defense against off road damage to your Jeep, protecting the Jeep by reaching above the slider level up to the door line. Ricochet Rockers do Not mount to or use the Body Armor for additional structure. But they work and look great together as a complete rocker armor package.
