Thread: rocker panels that actually fit

  1. #1

    Default rocker panels that actually fit

    Who has them? one came with the truck, that one doesnt fit, i bought another off of ebay and that one dont fit.! When i say it dont fit , i mean it doesnt match up with the lower bend in the front fender where they meet. Baffled !! So who sells good quality fit rockers ? Thanks in advance.

    I bought a pair of rockers for a 4 door Wagoneer when I did my rockers. They were probably from offshore someplace. The contour was fine though. I did have to make the bend around the back of the cab as you will with any replacements.

    Are you sure someone hasn't been fixing your fender bottom in the past?

    Hi Randy, I just replaced my front fenders, so it is possible that they have been altered somehow, but they seemed to fit up exactly where they should have . Where did you get yours ? are they still available ? thanks

    Itīs best that the rockers are left too long, so you can rebuild your cab corners by rolling the ends into a radius.

    I just did an e-bay search for Grand Wagoneer rocker panels, and picked one of the sellers there.

    I got mine from jeepanelsplus. I had to modify the ends to fit, but they were otherwise great.

    The owner died, so Iīm not sure if they are still in business. I think BJs Offroad carries FSJ rockers.

    I got one from BJ's for a J-truck and it fit fine. At least it did in my opinion.
