Overview
The Poison Spyder Rocker Knockers (part number 20-08-030P1) protect the rocker panels of the Jeep Wrangler JL and JT, which are the most exposed areas of the body on the trail. The tubular rocker rail is a structural tube that takes the impact, and the slider rail lets the Jeep slide over rocks and obstacles. The kit is fitted with a formed plate guard and tubular standoff.
The Rocker Knockers fit the 2018 to 2022 Wrangler JL in both body styles and many trims. They are finished in gloss black SpyderShell Armor Coat, and the finish is covered by a 5-year limited warranty from Poison Spyder.

Rocker protection and slider use
Rocker panels take the most punishment on a trail rig because they sit low and run along the length of the body. A tubular rocker rail carries impacts from rocks and stumps, while a slider rail lets the vehicle glide over an obstacle instead of catching on it. Together they protect the sills and the lower edges of the doors and reduce the chance that a rock forces the body upward.
Setup choices matter once the guards are on. The removable slider skid can be replaced as it wears, so check its surface after each rough trip. Rocker protection changes how the Jeep sits over obstacles, so think through the approach and departure angles before a new route. Owners often pair rocker guards with body armor, and the two should be checked together for clearance at the doors and fenders.
- Inspect the slider skid for wear after rocky runs
- Check bolt tightness at the base plate
- Clear mud from the rail before storage
- Recheck clearance at the doors after adding body armor
