2x6 sliders is def. the way to go. B-pillar and inside of rocker you can grab from a JY or fab yourself, all that **** is just 20 gauge sheet metal and hidden when you close the doors, which are also JY or CL items. If you DO go the JY route to replace rocker and B pillar beware rusty rockers. That whole thing is one empty cavity, any rust down below will certainly creep upwards.
Thanks salad good info!!

Don't go stock! That link that was posted earlier in this thread looks like a great option. I'd go with that

The hit didn't crack or bend the uniframe anywhere did it?

Here's an idea for you. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/jeep-...omp-cut-3.html
Scroll down until you see pics of the sectioned body. It's pretty ballsy to bob an xj lol.
