Again think before you post.
I came to this thread because 'I' myself need a rocker panel work. That doesn't mean 'I'm' going to be doing the work. I lack a welder, a shop, and the technical skill.

Instead of telling me to "STFU", he could have stated; "It depends on how bad the damage is", or "Can it be repaired via body kits?".

Again, I don't see what the big deal is. I come to these forums to learn, and be inspired. As do the majority of the CF members. Not to be told to keep my mouth shut.

Wasn't me who told you that big guy.

What your post should of said:
" are you planning on doing the welding your self? If so the 2x6 would be a smarter idea."
Not what ever you said about people not being able to weld.

Plus check it.
There has got to be 50+ threads on how to do it...

This dude was asking where to find rockers at. Not how to do them.

I'm not being a **** just stating what I'm seeing. Been around a while.

I know it wasn't you who said it. I was simply making a statement in my defense.

Again; I wasn't going to make any suggestions to the OP, because I didn't want to falsify information. Specifically about something I know next to nothing about.

I understand. I'm not hating on anyone here.

It was a convenience having this thread pop up the same moment I came on to get rocker help.

Some random dude you have never met? Not smart. You need to know the guys work or make sure they have a fab shop.

Yes I was out of line, was in a mood, and I appolagize.

Good luck on your rockers they are a poor design from the factory and are inevitably going to go if you live in the northern hemisphere, or any place that see snow where the roads are treated.

Honestly though, if your going to do any kind of wheeling, this is the better way to go. They double as sliders and you can use the whole side of your jeep as a jacking point for a high lift. My rockers were rusted out like yours and I welded in 2x4 with some short extension sliders. Also, the metal for the sliders was cheaper than the two rocker panels are going to be.
