Cherokee XJ sliders must fit the 1984–2001 unibody, body style, corrosion condition and suspension brackets. A rock slider or rocker guard mounts to the unibody and/or pinch seam; a simple nerf bar is a different product. Check drilling, welding and frame-stiffener requirements before ordering.

Buying tips
- Inspect unibody rails and pinch seams for rust first.
- Bolt-on, weld-on and nerf-bar products are not interchangeable.
- A slider is not a safety device.
