What to dooooooo.....

I've seen all the threads. Anyone got a different approach? Sheetmetal maybe? Keep most of the line establishing plastic?

1. I'm going to continue to run the stock late model flares.
2. Keeping the stock rear bumper too.
3. Keeping as much of the rear bumper cap as possible.

if you not into cuting and folding the rocker up. what about banging it back into shape and plating it some. not sure how much of the factory plastic you want to keep.

 

[GSequoia]

No use Ron. I don't think you have the metalworking knowledge to do anything about it.

 

[nosigma]

Fiberglass, plywood & 5200 adhesive?

Seriously, I just did the same thing to mine, just not quite as severe. I beat on in until it look "better" spray primed it and slopped some paint on. Its going to get torn up again so dont invest to much in trying to fix until its time sell. Then get out the cut off wheel and MIG welder. Until then, relax and enjoy the battle scars.

x2 very well said john!

Yeah, I don't really understand where you are trying to go with this. If you want to keep it stock with the stock bumper and stock end caps, just beat it back till it's close and let the stock end caps cover what isn't just right. Jeff

Just get some armor for that! Like from C-ROCK engineering for $110

i used 12 gauge steel from the local hardware store, cut and painted it to match the shape and drilled some holes. Slapped it on there. Its not as thick as the $100 C-rok stuff or Rock Lizard guards, but it's still good protection and nice and soli.d $12 for the steel, $5 for the self-tapping screws and paint. I sanded down the area since it was rusty then painted it with rustoleum. Then I cut the guards and painted those. Just bent it by hand and used a vice. Pretty easy really.

Im sure you know of all the options, here is what i went with.

Although anything you really bolt on is going to fold after consistent hits. That area in general just sucks..

 

[cherowagon]

who made that style?

 

[ruggedjeep]

RockLizard fabrication

I think that MJ that you bought would have had a better home with me:gonnablow


:sad1:
Id say cut it off. If your hitting it, may as well get rid of it.

 

[bj-666]

soo what did you end up doing to your rockers??????

 

[Fullsizexj]

just cut the back off and go buggy

That's more or less what I've been doing. Problem is, I'm quickly exhausting my supply of end caps. And, it gets harder and harder to beat the sheetmetal back into place enough to get the caps on.

No use Ron. I don't think you have the metalworking knowledge to do anything about it.

That's for sure.

I agree, that's why I havn't even bothered with plating in that area.

I'll give you 80% of it if you want to come and pick it up.

Starboard M appreciates your sentiment.

I have it worked out. I used round tube. I'll get some pics up shortly.

I'll post a pic of what I did to mine when I get home.

<HINT> I used a saw-z-all!
It looks like hell, but so does the rest of my truck.

can't look worse than mine currently do the cut & fold method, but i was too lazy to secure the fold now i'm just gonna cut them all the way off

gotta finish my rear bumper too, so I can stop beating up my rear crossmember
