Proud Rhino Rock Sliders – Heavy-Duty Frame-Mounted Protection for Land Rover Defender 130 L663 (2023–Present)

The Defender 130 is long, bold, and built to haul — but its extended body also makes it more vulnerable to trail damage. That’s where the Proud Rhino Rock Sliders come in. Designed specifically for the 130’s longer wheelbase, these full-length, frame-mounted sliders offer serious protection for your rocker panels, lower bodywork, and the exposed EAS (Electronic Air Suspension) compressor.

Made in the USA from 3/16" U.S.-sourced steel, each set is finished with a durable zinc-rich primer and satin/matte black powder coat. These aren’t side steps with attitude — they’re full-on rock armor, designed to take hits so your Defender doesn’t have to.

Features That Actually Matter:

• 3/16" U.S. Steel Construction – Built for the long, heavy profile of the 130.

• Frame-Mounted Strength – Bolts directly to the chassis for uncompromising protection.

• EAS Compressor Coverage – Shields the air suspension compressor from rocks and debris.

• Zinc Primer + Satin/Matt Black Powder Coat – Maximum corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

• Full-Length Protection for Defender 130 Body – Covers the extended rocker panels and lower doors.

• Usable Step Surface – Offers stable footing without compromising trail clearance, optional step insert available.

• Proudly Made in the USA

• Purpose-Built for the Defender 130 L663

Vehicle Compatibility:

• Land Rover Defender 130 L663 (2023–Present)

These sliders are fully bolt-on, utilizing the Defender 130’s factory frame mounts. No cutting or welding required. All necessary hardware and clear instructions are included. Can be installed in a home garage with basic hand tools and a helping hand.

Shipping Information:

To keep shipping costs low, we ship via standard ground freight, which may result in minor cosmetic scuffs or scrapes during handling.

If you prefer your parts to arrive in pristine condition, we offer a professional crating service for an additional $800, ensuring your sliders are fully protected during transit with custom-built packaging.
