Product Description
Jeep Wrangler TJ 1997-2006 On-the-Rocker Trim, 4 Pieces, 4.25" (TH45090)
TH45090 puts four pieces of polished stainless steel on the rocker of a 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ, the two-door SUV in the fitment. The width is 4.25", and the placement note reads "Installs below the door," so this kit covers the body below the door opening rather than the door skin.
The other Wrangler TJ rocker kit
The record links one other rocker option: TH45091, a two-piece Lower Kit at 3" that spans from the bottom of the door up. So the choice is between the rocker area under the door (this kit) and the bottom band of the doors themselves (TH45091). The catalog doesn't say whether the two are meant to be used together. If you want both, call 877-752-3811 and ask.
Why four pieces on a two-door
The data gives four pieces but doesn't explain the layout. Don't assume one; compare the parts with the product photos when they arrive and sort them before you peel anything.
Measure first
Run a tape measure along the rocker and see whether a 4.25" band fits the flat area you want to cover. If anything on your TJ's rocker has been changed, such as aftermarket armor, steps or guards, send photos to 877-752-3811 before ordering, since the record only describes the listed fitment.
Steel and tape
Built for the 1997-2006 Wrangler TJ, the four 4.25" strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless from a USA shop, set below the doors on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the Jeep.
Rocker prep
Rockers collect road film. Scrub the area with soapy water and a brush, rinse, and dry it fully, including the lower lip. Finish with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Any loose paint or surface rust should be dealt with first, because tape only holds as well as the paint under it.
Install steps
- Dry-fit each piece with painter's tape and step back to check the line.
- Peel a short section of liner at one end.
- Set that end, then pull the liner out as you press the steel down along its length.
- Press firmly over every inch once all pieces are on.
Placing the later pieces
Before you fit the remaining pieces, measure where the first ones sit relative to the door opening and the wheel openings, and use those numbers.
Linked Wrangler TJ trim
Also on this record: DH45090 door handle accent trim, HS45090 door handle trim with cut-out, HP45090 hinge cap package, and WT45090 windshield accent trim.
After it's on
Leave it a day before washing. For care, use mild soap, a soft mitt and a towel.
Timing
Mild weather or a garage helps the tape bond.
What to send if you call
Your model year, a photo of each side taken from a few feet back, and a close shot of the rocker under the door. That lets us check the 4.25" band against your Wrangler.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 4 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
