Rocker Skids

I have a 94 Cherokee sport, and will be building some rocker skids soon and was wondering how everybody is attaching it to the Cherokee? Any advice or Pictures would be a great help thanks.

go to AJ's web site (http://www.ajsoffroadarmor.com/) and check out the pics.

popular attachment method is at the 'frame' plus along the pinch seam.

another link.. different mounting style.

others have cut out the factory rock rails and replaced them:

Those detour usa rockers are so nice... I just wish I had the cash to spend on something like that.

I have attached mine to the pinch seam and and put 4 legs to the frame rail (each leg has 2 bolts in it).
The pinch seam part is a a length of square tubing on the inside side of pinch seam and it's laying somewhat flush against the underside. The reason I did it that way was that after looking inside the rocker panel of my rolled jeap I noticed that there is some reinforcement there which works great with the rock rails.
On the frame rail side I drilled them through and I dropped sleeves into it so that I'm bolted all the way through and I dont't have to worry about crunching the frame or something like that.
Lastly I have put a "skid/reinforcement" on the frame rail. It's some 3" angle iron that's shaped to go along the framerail.
