Hello everyone! I am new here although I have browsed the site a little bit and found some answers to my various questions and problems over the past year that I've owned my 98 cherokee.
Anyway, I want to replace my rockers with box steel. I already have enogh 2 x 6 x 1/4" box steel to do the job but I don't have any welding experience. How difficult is it for a newbie? I might try and find a shop to do it if it isn't going to be too expensive. I was thinking of doing this mod: http://www.jeepkings.ca/forums/showthread.php?105565-Extrem-XJ-Rocker-replacement but I am worried about all the rust. I am not sure my jeep could support the rockers. I want to make it more durable not compromise it.
I also want to trim the fenders and cut and fold them. all my fender flairs are missing and there is a lot of rust where they used to be, see the second picture for the worst part.
