Rockers = cut them out and weld in 2x6 sliders.
Rear quarters = cut and fold.

I had the same problem and if you do any kind of four wheeling you'll love having the built in sliders on the side and the extra ground clearance in the back. You can check my build page to see how I did it.

I'm guessing that since our jeeps aren't "classics" there is little to no market for repro weld in body panels. If your wanting factory stuff then your probably going to have to hit up a jy with a sawzall.
