Rock sliders/boat siding
Anything new here, looking to research this area. I will need to rework this area when I redo the rocker/torsion boxes, floorboard area, pillars, etc. Anybody got any new pic's?

I made some rock sliders for my jeep a while back and they are the same length for Ol' Yeller. I will post some pics tomorrow. Mario

Re: Rock sliders/boat siding
I don't have any pics underside for you:
All I did was get some 2"x3" square tubing and a swazall + highspeed cutting wheel. My rockers were rusted in the normal way = toast I simply started cutting the outer off, then the inner and now I could see inside the rockerbox/torsion whatever you wana call it. I used a floor jack and pushed the 2x3 up in there and cut away as needed to get the fit were I wanted it. Then I bent the lip of the rockerbox down so I could weld the 2x3 all along the rocker box to hold it inplace, added a bit more welding to the ends were the bodypanel supports are and they have worked great! CK5.com or Pirate4x4 .com you will see alot more extrem body fab/hacking. I drew a line in the dirt and decided I like my K5 too much to turn it into anything but a K5, so I have gone as far as I'm going with the hacking
