Side Tube Steps (Rock Sliders) Raptor 4x4 for Nissan Patrol Y61, 5-Door

The factory rocker panel on a long-wheelbase Patrol is thin sheet metal that dents - or tears - on first contact with a rock or a rut edge. Raptor 4x4 tube steps put a solid steel guard there instead, bolted straight to the frame rather than relying on the strength of the body panel.

Key benefits

• Mounted to the vehicle's frame rather than the body rocker panel, so impact force is absorbed by the chassis, not thin sheet metal.
• Makes entry and exit easier on a tall, long-wheelbase Patrol - especially useful when loaded up or on the trail.
• Effectively shields the rocker panel and lower door area from mechanical damage when driving through ruts and rocky terrain.

Technical data

This is a fit for long-wheelbase (5-door) Y61 owners who drive tight trails, ruts or rocky climbs and want to protect the rocker panels and lower doors from scrapes and dents, while also getting easier cabin access.

Installation / notes

The steps mount directly to the vehicle's frame, giving a stronger fixing point than mounting to the body alone.

Why it's worth it

• Frame-mounted rather than bolted to thin rocker-panel sheet metal.
• Two functions at once: impact protection and easier cabin access.

If your 5-door Y61 regularly sees terrain where the factory rocker panel would be the first thing to hit a rock or a rut, these tube steps give real protection instead of a cosmetic trim strip.
