pictures of how bad your rockers would help... its hard to give you advice without seeing how bad the rust is... it might be a easy fix or a all out weld job... and welcome to the site... make a intro post if you wish...

I'm doing replacing my rockers on my 99 currently, it's honestly not that hard, just take your time. I'm teaching myself to weld as i go, figure it's not a bad skill to learn owning a jeep and all anyway. Here's a link to the rockers i bought, says they are for like 88 to 95 xj's however if you have access to a break you can re-bend them cause the newer body style xj's have rockers that taper towards the front. they are really good priced, and mine aren't factory perfect body lines but i plan to put rock rails on my rig anyway and i'm gonna herculiner my rockers which should hide some imperfections anyway. Good luck with your rockers.
