Well they are finally nearing completion. Primed them last night, putting on paint tonight. They are formed 3/16" plate with 1.5" .120 wall DOM tubes. The tubes are mounted at an upward angle of about 20 degrees, and the tubes are fully tig welded.

Watch for a full write-up on them on my site sunday or early next week.

Here's a couple pics.



Sexy tig welds!







2nd coat of primer:





Sandwich plates.



The final paint colour will be what I like to call "Nth Degree Grey".

Wow.. been a while since I looked at this thread.



I just hit it in two places... with the press brake at work.

Dude, these are great, i will definitely take your idea and work them out... if you don't mind.
Do you have pictures from the downside to look the holes and where did you place the bolts?
Thanks man great job!
Please feel free to use the pictures and the drawings to your advantage. All the pictures I have of the rockers can be found here: myjeeptj.com

Thanks a lot. :cool:

did you use the same thickness for the sandwich plates
Nope, the sandwich plates are .130 stainless steel. A little thinner (slightly thicker than 1/8th"), but stainless is really tough stuff.. enough to bend the bottom of my tub downward before flexing when I was tightening the hardware. :2thumbsup:

Yep there is a front bumper thread in my sig..

Working on two different rear bumpers now. One 'normal' one, made from rectangle box tube, with jerry can holders, swing out tire carrier, etc.. and one that matches the forming on the front bumper (for my jeep).

Well it simply doesn't keep up.. it draws power from the battery, and will completely drain it even with the jeep running, because the alternator won't charge it fast enough.

I'm sorry man, I don't have measurements for that, because it will change from jeep to jeep slightly, and depending on how accurate the bends are.

Just put the rocker into place on the side of the jeep, clamp it in place, and take a measurement.. that's all I did to get it, in the first place. :thumbsup:
