So I am in the process of boatsiding my yj. I have searched and not found alot of pic's. So I thought how about a thread on boatsiding as I am sure more people would do if if there were some instructional threads. I am going for the same look as the jeep "derangement" in crawl magazine, red one CO plates.

Not on a hardcore Jeep, but I think they came out pretty well.

After coating with rust bullet


After Line-X



I used RockSkullz method to get the angle right along the floorboards so they matched up with the new sheetmetal on the outside. Worked really nice.


trace the line to keep the angle the same along the floorboards, then cut along that line.


The new skin will line up nicely with the floor if you follow that line. I welded mine in like TeenyCAR's, with plans to skin the outside with 3/16" bent to follow the new lines.

If you plan on running it into rocks you might want to go with 1/4"
It' going well. I was going to skin it with1/4" aluminum and 1/2" uhmw.
Look at the Jeep Faq by INDYCJ I think theres a link. (top of the forum, it's a sticky)
There used to be someone who made boatside rockers, are they still in production?

That used to be Poison Sypder, I don't think they ever really hit off. Could call and ask I guess.

I have one of three sets ever made by Poison Spyder on my CJ. They were NOT bolt on and required massive cutting to get them on. I guess that's how it goes with pre-production parts. They don't always fit as intended. Last time I checked with Paul, they plan on doing a redesign and coming out with a 45 degree rocker that will look more like the Bruiser design and extend past the body mounts. Not sure how that's going to look, but hopefully they will install a little easier. BTW, PSC called them Rumble Rockers:laughing:

I cut mine the same as Krod, 1/4" checker plate for the boatside
