Weld in rockers

iaml3lue · Jan 10, 2012

well saturday morning i went down to warthog welding and we cut out my rockers
we started with this

AtoZ Fabrication weld in rocker kit
then dan broke out the plasma torch and cut out the rockers

Passenger

driver along with with some sand and rocks from various trail rides

i crawled under there and cleaned up all the rust and painted it up
we mocked everything up

and realized that because of how much rocker we had to remove due to rust the only way put suports thru to the frame was to cut threw the floor which i didn't wanna do yet so we cut spacers to stop the rocker from being able to twist up

after welding the box steel we put together the side protection/ step are

all painted up

iaml3lue · Jan 10, 2012

if i wanted to do outriggers to the frame wich was the origanal plan till we realized we had to cut more of the rocker and would have to cut the floor

How much did you end up paying the welders? I wanna do the same thing soon

iaml3lue · Jan 10, 2012

400 it was 18 hours of work

is there any bracing or is it just welded to the body?

iaml3lue · Jan 10, 2012

How much was the kit

aintright · Jan 10, 2012

18 hours!!! yikes. that's a long ass time for some rocker replacement. i have about 8 into mine with braces cut through the floor and that was just me in my garage with an angle grinder and my welder.

they do look good though, i like the dimple die steps on them.

Nice, must reinforce the hell out of the unibody too!

Pretty sharp looking kit. might be worth it depending on how much it was. Then again, I like my 2x6 and how much it sticks out.

bails85 · Jan 10, 2012

Do you have a link for the kit. I can't find it on atoz's web site.

I'm confused. What do you mean by stop the twisting?

Are the pieces of tube being used as spacers between the door sill and rockers?

That kit looks to very similar to gen-right's kit.

I like them. They do look like those that Genright carries.

You planning to wheel it or is it just for show? Cause its not gonna take many hits without bracing
