Rocker Skids

[AggieTJ2007]

I think It is Cody's YJ that it looks like the Rocker Skids are made out of angle Iron. I was just wondering If he made those or not? If he did I am interested in Making as set for my Jeep and selling my nerf bars that suck on the side

[Cody_91YJ]

yep thats right. Cheap, easy, hold up well. Didn't really feel like spending a couple hundred dollars on a set

I also have some of angle iron, and if nick had some 2 years ago his jeep would still look half decent.

[AggieTJ2007]

What size angle iron did you use

[sasquatch]

I'm going to Bryan Iron and Metal on Friday to pick up some stock for my rockers. You can come with me if you want.

I used 3x5x3/16. A little smaller would be fine, but for other reasons I had to have a 5". Don't use less than 3/16".

hey robert let me know how they are on metal prices thanks

[Chadnutz]

Cheap as hell.

[Shaggy]

they are cheap... you are gonna spend more on hardware than on the angle iron

[TxCruzr]

They make it easy to trash the rest of the body :gigem:

3x3 1/4inch angle....drill a few holes and bolt it up.

[bburris]

here's my TJ...4x4x1/4

Be really careful about where you put your bolts...there aren't a whole lot of perfect places to bolt into a TJ tub so measure twice :D

closer pic - I used a grinder to form the edges at the fenders so I wouldn't catch a tire on a corner

Your shiz is looking good.

[J Cooper]

heres what i got... also very cheap to make, except these dont touch your body and can also function as a step, i already had some little body guards so i went with these...
both are cheap and work great.

p.s. what did you do with you tj flares brett?... i need some

[redcagepatrol]

Lynda's got angle too. Be sure not to skimp on the bolts - either use some SS button head allens or go countersunk. The bolts make a huge difference in the way it looks. Also, be sure to put a backing plate on the inside.

Oh - Troy and Bobby Hickson have the too...

[AggieTJ2007]

I was also think of making some spacers so that the angle Iron would bolt through the floor of the jeep to keep from bending on itself, it it is possible

[Jackasic]

you let branton weld on your rig Coop, what were you thinking? :flipoff2:

Make sure you do this. I have the backing plate on mine and after a few good wacks it even bent in some right above the rocker. Luckily the factory step brackets are right behind there so it won't bend in much more if any.
If you can, find a way to tie a few spots into the frame if you plan on bashing them.

I think the rear ones are over at Paul's house... I've been too lazy to pull the fronts off.

[AggieTJ2007]

Coop, If I wanted a step, I could just weld on some squared tubing, and use some other square tubing as a spacer and make it like the Yaffy bars that somebody sells, can't rember whon

Yea, suprised they haven't fallen off yet. I'm gonna have to work on my floor and finish exhaust eventually soon I hope. Would be a good time to make me fix that ****.

For some unknown reason i let you cut on my bronco with a cutting torch, it was like watching a kid with a sparkler, but dumber. :D

[uglyota]
