 After shredding my stock rockers on the trail, I replaced them with
2x6x3/16" box tube steel.

http://xjeep.dyndns­.org/rockers/

Didn't cost much for the steel, pretty easy to build and install with a
grinder and a mig welder. Mine also double as cushion tanks for onboard
compressed air system.

Highly recommend something like this if you do any off roading. If not,
sheet metal is cheaper and perhaps a bit easier.

 Look around you can find replacement panels for as little as $60 per side.
They do require trimming and complete removal of the old ones, you will also
have to remove the fender flares runningboards if you have them. I just
used some light gauge sheet metal I already had (left overs from doing my
floors) to form more of a cover, I removed about 90% of the old rocker (85%
was rusted out).

 I have seen them just plain cut out. It looked a bit strange but they
are just a box hanging below the door anyway, the inside box is it's own
animal.

I like the 6"x2" tube idea, that would stiffen it up a lot too I would
think.

 I just got a set of rocker panels for my 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo from this
site. Might have what your looking for.

 If my XJ survives its next smog test (next year) I'll do the box tubing
thing, I really just needed to cover up the huge hole from rear dog leg to
middle of drivers door. It was real obvious and seeing how I run a few 400
series highways I've seen the cops/MTO pulling quickie safety blitz's and
since the inside of the rocker has lightening holes into the cab (back of
the carpet) I knew if I got pulled into one of those I would get 72 hours to
fix warnings. Also at the time my exhaust was almost non existent from
the cat back.

 That's who I looked at for replacements, I know of a small parts store that
deals with them and can pick up dent and dings for 30-65% off. A gent at
work replaced every body panel on his ford truck with dent and dings from
them for a total of about $350.

 Well, I have a wire feed flux core 'mig' welder and also have no rockers
maybe we should have a rocker panel party some nice summer weekend?

 Awesome pics Bill...
I will let Momma decide on sheet metal or 2x6... Yes she has input....
Looked at Cross Canada and it looks like the place to buy, I just cant
figure out why there is a cutout section on the rocker picture for the 4
door...

Thanks all!!

The cutout is for the 'B' piller

Picture is for the drivers side and is upside down.

 Cut out is for the door pillar post, if you look at yours you'll see the
rocker goes around it.

 My son just changed my pump out for me and back flushed my heater core.

While I had the rad out, I welded up a metal strap down the side of my
radiator where I snapped it in half and removed a couple end cores that
were stretched beyond fixing so now have really nice heat again and
hopefully a rad that will hold.

I gotta take her up the 400 highway where it is safe for a high speed
run to see if the new pump will keep her cool above 75 mph or 120 kph.
I will take her out of the slow lane and maybe keep along in the middle
lane at 80 or 140 or so for a while to see. :-)­ The fast lane is too
insane for a CJ....

If we can set up a date, I can let the rest of the local RAMJ+W folks
know. A bunch will likely show up for moral support if nothing else or
a general fixit party.
