Expedition One Trail Series Rocker Guards | Toyota FJ Cruiser (2007-2026)

The Expedition One Trail Series rocker guards for the FJ Cruiser are designed to deliver robust side-protection and practical functionality for off-road and overland use. Constructed from heavy gauge sheet steel and reinforced tubing, they replace the vulnerable rocker panels with a strong, boxed-structure armor designed to resist rock strikes, trail debris, and harsh terrain.

Beyond protection, these rocker guards double as steps — aluminum tread plates provide a stable platform to enter and exit the vehicle, even when it’s lifted or loaded with gear. The design is carefully positioned to maximize ground clearance, ensuring that the added protection doesn’t compromise the vehicle’s off-road capability.

Finish options include bare metal for a raw, utilitarian look or a textured black powder-coat for enhanced corrosion resistance and a cleaner finish. With an estimated production/lead time of 4–8 weeks (depending on finish), these guards are a solid upgrade for anyone wanting to elevate the durability and usability of their FJ Cruiser.
