Jeep Wrangler
Let’s be real—when you’re thrashing your Jeep on gnarly trails, your rockers take a beating. Artec Industries just dropped their new Boatside Rocker Armor for the Jeep Gladiator (JT) and Wrangler (JLU), and it’s the kind of overbuilt, no-BS protection you need when the rocks start getting rowdy.
There’s nothing like an impending event inspection to motivate an install. Lorne Pearson was looking forward to the PNW4WDA Trail Jamboree in Naches, Washington where he was planning to run the challenging Rimrock Trail. This often-off-camber route required front & rear lockers, CB and winch along with some wheel base and tire specifications – all of which Pearson had. What his YJ lacked, however, was the mandatory full roll cage.
From its necessary beginnings in World War II to today, Jeep has developed into an American Icon. Jeep has become a symbol of independence and liberty for the whole world to see. It’s been abused, pampered and even celebrated, but to those who love them it’s still just a Jeep… for better or for worst.
