Building my own rockers

[Giffer]

I have been looking for a few things for the last little while, suchs as halfdoors and rocker guards. and well so far i have been SOL on both. so im going to build my own rocker guards, and worry about the doors come summer. But i have no idea where to mount, or even where to start!! im sure someone here has built their own and was hoping for some advice. i have a 91 YJ.

frame or body mount? If you want to do frame mount, I am no help. But if you want body mounted rockers, I can help you with some suggestions.

Go with body mount. Much easier, just as effective. Listen to Chris (DUKE) he knows of what he speaks...

well i think i will do the body mounts, but is there anywhere that i cannot mount. angles and everything like that i can manage on my own. if you can help, any suggestions, or advice i would love to know. thanks

If you want I'll send you some pics of the rockers I just made. I just installed them today along with some tube fenders I made for the rear. Rockers are easy to make and you don't need a lot of trick tools. But some good welds are essential.

This I got to see. Kurt, you going to post the pictures here? My handmade rockers is from materials laying around the yard. One 4' x 3x8x1/4 angle with a couple of 4" x 4x4x3/8 angles welded to it bolted to the frame. I am sure the guys with the real rockers would laugh at it. But it works for now, and didn't cost me anything.

well i plan on rock guarding (bed liner) the entire jeep. so if it isnt pretty no one will know, and if it is pretty, no one will know, hahaha. its a win win situation. and has anyone else done this?? not that i have seen it done but i think it would look killer

See if you can get some tips from ShrockWorks

[Giffer]

ShrockWorks? is that a member here?? i checked the User Lists and there was no one by that name. did they rock guard his/hers??

[Giffer]

yeah sure, i would love to see the pictures
