raised 2x6 rockers into the doors
well I searched and didn't really find a set of rockers tied in exactly the way I wanted. so I guess I'll just start hacking up my rockers and post pics as I go
I want to raise the 2x6 rockers into the doors so I can have some ultra fancy high clearance armor
I've already cut the driver side I'll post pics soon

I'm not at a place where I can post pics right now but here is a link to my build on Pirate from a few years ago. It's exactly what you are talking about. They are 2x6 and are tied to the frame in 4 places on each side by 2x2. There are a lot of pics in the build thread. I've since doved and tubed the front and put it on coilovers. I have a tread on that too.

got the 2x6 welded on. I hate sheet metal welding -_- but it's on there
this whole thing ended up being more straight forward than I thought. so this I guess this wont be a very writeuppy thread. but if you have any questions feel free
nice and level
at least the doors cover the welds
I'm happy enough. stay tuned for frame tie-ins

That's sick! That's almost exactly how I've been planning to do mine. Except I was going to weld a piece of flat iron to the door sill, and then weld the 2x6 to that with a piece of angle iron on the inside rocker. Did you weld anything up on the underside?

which pinch seem theres like 7 haha. yeah I cut through a couple. a mistake I wont make when I do the other side. if you're talking about the rear fender well, yes that will get cut out later
it's actually pretty sturdy just the way it is, since it's tied directly into the B pillar as well. but bash it on a couple rocks and I'm sure the sheet metal will buckle. just like it did on my last jeep

Looks like it sticks out further than mine by a hair. I didn't trim back the floor sheet metal as much so my doors don't cover up my welds
Looks nice though. You have a good little start with this Jeep.
