I need some new rockers or a way to cover them, not to expensive though.

brand new factory replacements are about 25 bux a side from c2c (classic to current) body panels.

or double that from raybuck and double that from jc whitney.

or you can just grab some tin and bend it up yourself for the cheapest.


if you're gonna wheel this jeep, look into ^robs rocker replacement idea.

Nobody makes a replacement that's even worth your time or money. I bought 2 different brands and they weren't even close! I just ended up making my own. After wasting $200

That's all aftermarket sheet metal it takes a little time and massaging to get it to fit right.But like said if its a daily driver just replace them if its a off road the 2x6 square tubing gives you a nice rock slider with no lose of ground clearance vs the bolt on ones.

2x6 tube, sturdy, I can jack the whole side of truck up. You will need time, cutting discs and a welder.
