So my driverside outer rocker panel is pretty rotted out...

Ive Been looking for a replacement rocker panel but all the ones i look at are for a 84-01 cherokee, except sport models 97-01 (like this one http://c2cfabrication.com/store/prod...roducts_id=309 ) i own a 97 sport. Anyone know where to find this? If not, is there really that big of a difference on the rocker panel from a 97 sport to a 96 non-sport?
Wasn't really looking to do steel tubing because ill have to knock out the passenger side panel which looks almost perfect.

id rather replace one side. But if it is going to cost more to get a panel for one side, maybe 2x4x(3/16? or 1/4?) or 2x6x(3/16? or 1/4?)steel tubing would be a good idea. If anyone knows of a good guide for steel tubing feel free to post it
Only have until end of July so cutting it a little close on time and $. I am also looking for information on a good place to get some welding done in NH or maybe southern Maine.
Any help would be great...I am a repair newb, but i live with a mechanic with access to tools, except for welding tools :/
