So I'm going home Christmas weekend to work on rocker replacement. I took my olympic 4x4 sliders off when I welded on my HDO stiffeners and now need rocker protection....or replacement :viking:
I want to use this and the frame stiffeners as a base to "skin" in the future. I like 3/16" plate and the UMHW ideas from this thread (http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=962311&highlight=boatside).
I know theres a bunch of different choices on what size tube to use. I've seen 2x6, 3x4, 2x4, 3x3, etc. used. I've been thinking of 2x6 for a while so that I have plenty of space to use a highlift jack on. The above mentioned skin could go from the stiffener to a groove ground into the 2x6 at 4 inches out leaving 2 inches exposed on the outside for the jack. Make sense?
Any thoughts?
