I am replacing my existing rockers with some 3x4 square tubing due to rust issues and about 1/2 of the pinch seam is rotted out, and there is not much solid metal left on the existing rockers, what is the best way to handle this?
I was thinking of cutting all the pinch seam out and welding a plate from the 3x4 to where the pinch seam used to be. What could happen if I do this?
I guess another fix may be to weld some angle iron to the non rusted part of the seam and extend the angle past the rotted part.
I just am having nightmares about driving down the road and a 3x4 sammich drops off my Jeep and wipes out my tires, or takes a bounce and destroys someones vehicle.
Its a 99 Cherokee Sport BTW
