FJ55 Rocker replacements

[ToyotaJeep]

I'm contemplating jumping back into the pig pool. I have taken a few years off and now I may be ready.

Where can a guy get replacement rockers for a 55? Approximate cost?

How about the same for front fenders?

I can weld, and I may make some. I was just wondering what replacements cost?

Thanks for your time, ROB

Talk to Lance at Ironpigs. He's a good guy and has been doing pigs for a very long time. Very knowledgable and has the nearest to stock look aftermarket rockers. Or if you wanna go with factory rockers there is a very very very slight chance one of your local dealers might have a set in their inventory still. Expect to pay out the a$$ for them. Last pair I found I think was around 600 bucks for just the outer rockers. The ones lance makes look like stock and are a hell of a lot stronger.

I haven't jumped in and fixed my rockers yet, but this is what i've been doing to my front fenders........

i used a mig to do this one

and this is tig, much neater.

i think the rockers will be easier to do than the front fenders, as the front fenders are only 1.0mm steel on a relatively flat area, so more chance of getting buckles in the panel due to welding heat. whereas the rockers can be made out of thicker metal, as has been mentioned and has no flat surface to develop buckles when welding in.
i can't wait to get in and make some new rockers for mine, would be a nice challenge and good to see it without huge holes there.

2x4 or 4x4 square tube steel is good if your 55 is a a rock beater, Lance's balance function and form...

lance's look way nice.Cause the cherokee rockers i used don't match the bodyline.But they cost me 42.00 each,and did weld on easy.

I decided to cut out my rocker and Mark at Metal Tech made me these sliders. I believe he is getting ready to make another set soon so if you are interested get ahold of him ASAP. I imagine once he has everything set up it would probably be easy to make several at the same time.
