Kick-Out Rock Sliders

As an essential kit for an off-road vehicle, rock sliders play a critical protective role in off-roading activities. However, traditional rock sliders can’t provide a stepping platform for exiting the vehicle or accessing the roof, like running boards do. So, it's common to feel indecisive about which one to install on your vehicle. Here, we are going to introduce the kick-out rock sliders—a hybrid solution that effectively addresses this dilemma.

1. What Are Kick-Out Rock Sliders?

Kick-out rock sliders are a specialized type of rock slider that features a rear-protruding design. This key characteristic allows them to extend further back, providing enhanced protection for crucial areas of your truck, such as the rear fenders, doors, and rocker panels.

Their core advantages are:

• Targeted Protection: The rear kick-out section is strategically designed to deflect your vehicle away from obstacles during an unexpected scrape or impact, effectively "kicking" the body and rear tires clear of rocks and other trail hazards.
• Superior Clearance: This design helps guide the vehicle past obstacles, safeguarding the truck's bodywork where it is most vulnerable.

2. Kick-Out vs. Without Kick-Out

The primary difference lies in the scope of protection.

Standard, straight rock sliders protect the length of the rocker panels but leave the rear quarter panels exposed.

Kick-out rock sliders offer continuous protection that extends from the front wheel well to the rear wheel well, creating a comprehensive defensive barrier for the entire side of the vehicle. This makes them indispensable for tackling technical trails where angled approaches are necessary.

3. Why Choose Hooke Road Rock Sliders?

Hooke Road's Kick-Out Rock Sliders are engineered to be the ultimate dual-purpose solution, merging uncompromising protection with everyday practicality.

• A Step-Up in Utility: The kick-out section itself acts as a sturdy step, making it significantly easier to reach items on your roof.
• Effortless Entry and Exit: They provide a much more convenient way to get in and out of your truck. This is especially true for 0-degree sliders, where the kick-out design offers a larger and more accessible stepping surface compared to non-kick-out models.
• A Complete Foot Platform: By integrating stepping surfaces at both the front and rear, Hooke Road sliders provide a full-length, reliable foot platform. This eliminates the need to choose between protection and convenience, as you get both in a single, robust product.
