How to replace Cherokee XJ rocker panels step by step

In this episode I show you how to replace the rockers on a Cherokee XJ with OE style replacement panels.
The paint was custom mixed by Upplands Bilfärg AB (www.ubf.se)

Wow. Thank you! This is the second video I've watched about replacing rocker panels. The first guy was long winded. You are straight to the point and have a good looking XJ. Thank you so much!

@@Ramblin80 Thanks, happy you liked the video. Good luck with the rockers :)

Good job! If you want to do rock sliders later, you can always place them under your new rockers. I had to do this job on my Bumble Jeep. I cut mine differently and used panel adhesive with self tapping screws. At the time I did mine, I didn't have access to a good MIG welder. They are holding up well. I scuffed the new rockers with red scotch brite, wiped with thinner then painted them with POR 15 inside and out. Every spring I pressure wash and re-coat the underside to keep it fresh. This year, I got cavity spray and did the inside of the frame rails and inside of the rockers. With a 27 year old Jeep, rust is an ongoing battle. Hope yours hold up as well as mine are. God bless and stay well.

Good video, but I may have drilled out those spot welds on the a and b pillars and also along the bottom edge. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video!

Nice work, very functional! Love that really clean XJ!

[@JadeSterling]

Great video, we'll done! I have to replace inner and outer rocker panels on mine. I used a spot weld cutter to take out the welds on the pillars and removed all of the old rocker underneath.

[@reconjeepmods3774]

Thats the best way to do it 👍🏻

Great video. Where did you buy the rockers? I would like to follow what you did with the same rockers but with so many sellers I don't know what I would be buying.

Hej! Vart köpte du tröskeln? //Xjnoob..

[@reconjeepmods3774]

Tjena! Kommer inte riktigt ihåg men typ trodo eller AUTODOC. Rätt billiga, typ 4-500kr/st.

What welder did you use?

Hi, I used an ESAB Rebel

Om jeepen ska bli fin, täck för inredningen när du kapar och svetsar. Likaså fönster. Fråga mig hur jag vet.
