Protect the sides of your Mitsubishi Pajero while adding a strong, practical step with BushSkinz Steel Side Steps / Rock Sliders. Specifically designed for Mitsubishi Pajero LWB models NP, NS, NT, NW and NX, with compatibility also available for the NM GLX model, these heavy-duty side steps are engineered for Australian touring and off-road conditions.
Unlike conventional side steps that rely on a single outer tube, BushSkinz Side Steps incorporate a second steel tube positioned directly beneath the vehicle sill. The outer tube is welded to the inner tube using 45-degree mitre joints, creating a strong, fully enclosed structure without open holes that can allow mud and water to accumulate inside the tubing.
Designed to provide both practical vehicle access and additional protection when travelling off-road, the BushSkinz Side Steps / Rock Sliders combine heavy-duty steel construction, reinforced mounting points and aluminium checker plate into one vehicle-specific package.
Why Choose BushSkinz?
Side steps are often one of the first parts of a four-wheel drive to encounter rocks, banks and other obstacles when travelling off-road. BushSkinz Side Steps are designed to provide a strong and practical solution for Pajero owners who want more than a conventional cosmetic side step.
Heavy Duty Construction
- 42mm outside diameter steel tube.
- 3.2mm wall thickness steel tubing.
- Three 6mm thick steel cross braces.
- 6mm steel mounting plates.
- Strong welded construction.
Designed for Practical Use
- Provides a convenient step into the vehicle.
- Additional protection along the vehicle sill area.
- Aluminium checker plate provides a practical stepping surface.
- Checker plate is bolted to the cross braces.
- Closed cell foam discreetly used between the checkplate and steel pipe to stop ratting on rough roads.
- Designed to reuse factory mounting points.
Engineered to Perform
Every BushSkinz Side Step / Rock Slider is designed with a clear purpose – to provide a strong, practical and vehicle-specific solution for Mitsubishi Pajero owners who spend time touring and driving off-road.
Rather than simply using a single piece of tube as the outer edge of the step, BushSkinz incorporates an additional tube directly beneath the vehicle sill. The outer and inner tubes are joined using 45-degree mitre joints, creating a stronger structural arrangement while eliminating open tube ends that can allow mud and water to enter.
Purpose-Built Construction
- 42mm OD steel tube with a substantial 3.2mm wall thickness.
- Three 6mm steel cross braces add structural support.
- 6mm steel mounting plates provide a strong connection to the vehicle.
- Inner and outer tubes are joined using 45-degree mitre joints.
- Designed around the Pajero's existing factory mounting points.
Built Around the Vehicle Sill
The inner steel tube is positioned directly beneath the vehicle sill, with the outer tube welded to it using 45-degree mitre joints. This construction differs from conventional side steps that use a single outer tube and provides a more substantial structure along the side of the vehicle.
The enclosed tube arrangement also eliminates the open holes found in some conventional tube designs, helping prevent mud and water from entering and accumulating inside the tubing.
Heavy Duty 6mm Cross Braces
Three 6mm thick steel cross braces are incorporated into the side step construction. These braces provide additional structural support while also providing the mounting surface for the aluminium checker plate.
Importantly, the checker plate is bolted to the cross braces rather than riveted. This avoids relying on rivets that can potentially loosen or work their way out over time.
6mm Steel Mounting Plates
The BushSkinz mounting brackets are manufactured from 6mm steel plate and are designed to provide a strong connection between the side steps and the vehicle.
The mounting system is designed around the Pajero's factory mounting points, making installation straightforward without requiring special tools or complicated modifications.
Designed for Easy Installation
BushSkinz Side Steps / Rock Sliders are designed to reuse the vehicle's factory mounting points, providing a straightforward bolt-on installation.
There is no requirement for specialised tools or complicated fabrication to mount the side steps. The vehicle-specific mounting system allows the steps to be securely attached using the existing mounting locations.
Installation Hardware Included
Replacement high tensile bolts and washers are included with the side steps. This is an important upgrade over standard mounting hardware, which can have softer bolt heads that are more prone to damage during installation and removal.
Aluminium Checker Plate Step Surface
The side steps incorporate a durable aluminium checker plate stepping surface for a practical combination of functionality and appearance.
The checker plate is secured directly to the three 6mm steel cross braces using bolts rather than rivets, helping provide a secure and serviceable mounting method.
Finished for Your Pajero
BushSkinz Side Steps are supplied with a black finish and aluminium checker plate, providing a clean and purposeful appearance that complements the Pajero's bodywork.
Colour coding is also available for an additional charge if you want the side steps matched to your vehicle. Alternatively, the side steps can be colour coded by your preferred local smash repairer.
Designed for Touring & Off-Road Adventures
Whether you're using your Pajero for touring, camping, exploring remote tracks or recreational four-wheel driving, BushSkinz Side Steps / Rock Sliders provide a combination of practical vehicle access and additional protection along the vehicle's sides.
The heavy-duty tube construction, reinforced mounting system and vehicle-specific design make these side steps a practical addition to a Pajero that regularly leaves the bitumen.

Happy Camper
By: Stephen on 4 January 2023Easy fit to NP Pajero, installed and first time with the sliders it took some hits out saved some panel damage, paid for itself already. Only though would be to add an instruction sheet in with the packaging, but not a big issue as there are instructions online and it is simple enough.
