Minimal Intrusion, Maximum Coverage
Because the ICON Impact Body Armor hugs the Gladiator's body sheet metal rather than standing away from it, it adds protection to the rocker panel area without meaningfully reducing ground clearance. Rocks, trail debris, and gravel thrown by the tires strike the armor instead of the factory sheet metal, which is the area of the body most exposed to side-hill and low-speed obstacle contact. For Gladiators equipped with entry step-style rocker rails, the armor also shields the lower body from boot scuffs during ingress and egress.
Aluminum Construction with a Flush Finish
The 3/16-inch aluminum plate is CNC laser-cut for consistent geometry across every piece, then brake-formed to match the Gladiator's body profile. Aluminum at this thickness is lightweight relative to comparable steel armor and resists corrosion without additional treatment. Countersunk holes and flat-head stainless steel fasteners sit flush against the panel surface, eliminating snag points that can catch brush or debris on tight trails.
Compatible with OE and Aftermarket Rocker Systems
The ICON Impact Body Armor can be run on its own or alongside OE Rubicon-style rocker rails and select frame-mounted rock sliders, including ICON Impact PRO Series Frame Mount Sliders. This layered approach lets owners add frame-level protection later without removing the body armor. Installation requires drilling into the Gladiator's body sheet metal and installing rivet nuts; review the installation guide before starting, as this is a permanent modification to the body panels.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The ICON Impact Body Armor suits 2020-and-up Jeep Gladiator JT owners who wheel on rocky or brushy terrain and want rocker panel protection that works with or without existing OE Rubicon-style rails. It is a good fit for builds that prioritize ground clearance, since the body-hugging profile adds little bulk below the rocker.
This armor fits only the 2020-and-up Jeep Gladiator JT platform; it does not fit any Jeep Wrangler JL, JK, or other body. Installation permanently modifies the body sheet metal through drilling and is not reversible. Frame-level slider protection is not included and requires a separate frame-mounted product.
Common Questions
Does installation require permanent modification to the Gladiator's body?
Yes. Installing the ICON Impact Body Armor on a 2020-and-up Jeep Gladiator JT requires drilling into the body sheet metal and installing rivet nuts. This is a permanent modification; review the installation guide before starting.
What hardware is included with the ICON Impact Body Armor?
Stainless steel flat-head fasteners are included with the ICON Impact Body Armor. Review the installation guide to confirm all required hardware before starting the install.
Can this armor be used alongside existing rocker rails?
The ICON Impact Body Armor is compatible with OE Rubicon-style rocker rails and select frame-mounted rock sliders, including ICON Impact PRO Series Frame Mount Sliders. It can also be run without any rocker rail system as a standalone rocker panel shield.
Will this armor reduce ground clearance on the Gladiator?
The ICON Impact Body Armor is brake-formed to follow the Gladiator JT's body contours closely, so it adds very little bulk below the rocker panel. The body-hugging profile is designed to provide protection with almost no inhibition of ground clearance.
Is there a California Proposition 65 warning for this product?
Yes. This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm. This warning applies to California residents purchasing the ICON Impact Body Armor.
