So when i bought my 1988 XJ the rear rocker panels were already rough so now i have ran accross inspection time and it wont pass with the rockers the way they are as well is i have no clue where to fine the harness or reverse light wires (reverse lights dont work trans melted the lines).

My rockers aren't very beat up, but I do have a lot of rust holes. I've been looking around at what to do and how to fix it and i'm just going to weld in some 2''x6'' 3/16'' tube and tie it into the unibody as much as I can. I like that it will fix my rust issues, and I wont lose any ground clearance like with rocker guards
