The most vulnerable areas on the body of the Jeep JK are the rocker panels. Poison Spyder Rocker Knockers™ protect your JK's rocker panel area while enabling you to slide over rocks and obstacles. Rocker Knockers™ enhance your Jeep's trail performance while adding rugged off-road looks to your JK.



Poison Spyder JK Rocker Knockers™ are engineered for brute strength and impact resistance by attaching to the Jeep's body in 14 strategic bolt locations. The mounting plate is CNC laser cut from 3/16" plate steel and precision brake-formed for a perfect fit. The tubular rocker rail is rugged 1.75" X .120 wall DOM structural tubing. The slider rail is fabricated from CNC-bent 1.5" X .120 wall DOM tubing. The space between the Slider and the main tube of the Rocker Knocker™ is filled with a CNC laser-cut Slider Skid. The Skid features Poison Spyder's exclusive oval dimples for structural strength as well as great Poison Spyder looks. The Skid attaches with countersunk stainless steel flat head cap screws for a flush surface. The Slider and Skid mount at an angle to the main tube of the Rocker Knocker™ to provide boatside-like protection from the rocks while keeping the Jeep's doors and body a safe distance from higher level trail hazards.



Another quality element of the Poison Spyder Rocker Knocker™ is the ability to remove the outer slider skid. The outer skid is built from 1/8" steel and is secured to a 3/16" base plate welded into the slider hoop assembly. The Slider does not rely on the skid for structure. The advantage of having the ability to remove the skid, is to allow you to replace it if it becomes damaged to a level that it has lost its aesthetic appearance or functionality. Also you will be able to customize the Sliders to match your Jeep, and to easily be able to remove it for re-finish.



Poison Spyder JK Rocker Knockers™ are compatible with all known suspensions and body lifts, including long arm kits. Because the Rocker Knockers™ mount directly to the Jeep's body tub, they will lift with the body when a body lift is installed (competitors' frame-mounted rocker guards may leave a gap on body-lifted vehicles). As an added attribute the Rocker Knocker™ mounting plate is designed with drain reliefs to discourage debris from collecting in the lower body cavity.

Poison Spyder JK Rocker Knockers™ can be utilized as a stand alone component or can be used in conjunction with Poison Spyder's JK Body Armor (see next post).

 

Poison Spyder JK Body Armor is a recommended install in conjunction with our Rocker Knockers. Body Armor may also be installed by itself, or along with other manufacturer's rock sliders, including the OE Rubicon Rails.



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 sheetmetal with rugged, precision-fit 3/16" plate steel or aluminum. Used by itself, JK Body Armor hugs the Jeep's 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's 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.



JK Body Armor is manufactured from either 3/16" high pressure steel plate or 3/16" 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 installer's 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 available bare (unfinished) or with a durable black powder coat finish. When selecting the powder coat option, please allow an extra 5-10 business days for delivery. Poison Spyder offers a precisely-cut rubber liner to install between the Body Armor and the factory sheetmetal. 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's factory sheetmetal 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.

When are the JK Defenders ready?

 

At this point in time there are no plans for JK DeFenders.

 

Any update on rear corner protection for us 2 door step children??

 

They're just waiting for some room in the schedule. Right now we're back-logged on everything so even though the design work is done, it might be after the first of the year before those get into production.

 

Can your side armour be rino lined then have the decorative center piece put on?

 

The center piece is removable. So you can paint or coat it differently than the main structure of the slider, if you want. Just be careful not to have the spray-on lining built up too thickly underneath where the removable plate sits, or it might not fit in correctly.
