i just bought a 98 jeep cherokee sport. love it but the rockers are rusted out. i dont know how to weld but want to fix this problem. i know someone who can weld so my question is where can i find new rockers? how hard is it to install new rockers? should i purchased new rockers or steel tubing? thanks for taking the time to help

 

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...

 

id go with the tubing idea that what ima going to do

 

thanks for tying to help. i have some pics and was going to send them to you but dont see where i can attach them. do u have an email i can send them to?

 

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.
