What is a Ford Ranger rock slider?
A Ford Ranger rock slider is a 4wd accessory designed to protect your Ranger from any rocks, logs and other obstacles which you may come across when going off-road. All Ford Ranger rock sliders are designed and made to take on a good knock and in some cases allow you to slide over rocks without causing any damage to your Ranger.
It's important that when you're buying a Ford Ranger rock slider that you get a high-quality set of rock sliders. If you're getting a set of cheapy low-quality rock sliders, you may actually end up causing more damage to your Ranger than you had initially hoped.
Why Do You Need A Ford Ranger Rock Slider?
There's those who love to smash it off-road on the weekend with their rig and there are those who just want to cruise around the sand and down the trail looking for that beautiful spot. However, there's a wide range of driving styles and abilities out there, and of course different levels of acceptance of damage to your vehicle. Let's just say that you don't want your rig to just look cool but also perform as though it was meant to be for off-roading.
There are a few reasons on why you would want to get a 4x4 rock slider on your rig before going off-roading with it.
- Body protection - The first reason why you would want to get a 4x4 rock slider is to of course protect it from any damage. Especially when encountering with rocks and logs that can come really close to denting or ripping a massive hole in the body of your rig.
- Kickout - some 4x4 rock sliders come with a kicker. What this means is that your rock slider has a little bump at the back of the slider that pushes your rig over and away from an obstacle. Protecting your body and keeping your rear tire out of the obstacle.
- Pivot Point - For those who want to take your off-roading experience to the next level. You can use your rock slider to do some fancy driving and pivoting around obstacles using the slider. This is one technique you can use for tight turns.
- Recovery/Stabilizer Point - High-quality rock sliders that have adequate attachments points for flipping you back on your tyres if you are to roll over when off-roading.
- Step - There are times where you may have to stop in deep mud or puddles and get out of your 4x4. If your rock slider is wide enough it can let you wiggle your way out or provide a jumping off point allowing you to get on solid ground.

Rock Slider Finishes - Ford Ranger Road Rock Sliders
Several different coatings are available for rock sliders, but if you wheel your truck hard, coatings won’t matter. There is no coating that will stand up to repeated abuse on rocks.
There are three finishes you can get from manufacturers. They are:
Bare metal - This is cheaper than a finished slider. Since you’re going to prep, prime, and coat the sliders you can do whatever you want to them, including painting them pink and stencilling on the outline of a Colt M1911.
Painted - Usually black, sometimes other basic colours.
Powdercoated - This is the next level of swank. While it is a beautiful, hard coating, it will chip if kissed by enough rocks. Most normal people don’t have the equipment to do powder coating and most fab shops farm this out anyway. It’s only worth the extra expense if you won’t be seriously scraping your sliders. Powder coating is better for 4x4 campers and mudders. Powdercoated sliders cost significantly more than bare metal.
