Ok yall, the explorer is comming to indy soon! I have to get it ready for a club run in july and will be putting sliders on (SAS won't be finished 
). Anyway I want to remove the old rockers and replace them with 2x4 steel box. I have seen it done on jeeps, and on early broncos. Here's what I need from yall. Pictures of explorers sans rockers, an idear of what i'm getting myself into, or just thoughts. These will hopefully replace my cancerous stock rockers and probably will also be tied into the from like a traditional rocker. It may just replace the rockers and not tie into the body at all but would still be tucked nicely out of the way. I haven't seen it done on an explorer but surely it can be done.
hope someone can help
Here's a good write-up i found on an early bronco. They brought up a good point about NOT welding the slider/rockers to the body a couple posts down. http://www.broncoholics.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1416
