I never been in a boat there I heard the narrows are awesome. Maybe something to think about when mocking up BOAT SLIDERS :-p

in this pic you can see where we cut the rocker out and replaced it with square stock. see the B pillar welded to the new rocker.

here's the only shot i could find at the moment of it with the doors on. in total we raised the rockers 6" from where the stock ones were at then plated with supports. they are actually more of a mini boatside but they work great.

Not bad. When I was talking about doing boat sides (if/when/maybe never) I was talking about raising it about 4" above the floor, like this....

yea i kinda figured you were talking about full boatsides, but since you still DD yours i was just thinking you'd like that option when i build mine i've got it measured 6" above factory rocker.

if you look at the tube on the olive XJ buggy of brians he raised his up 6" above the floor and gave his boatsides roughly 37* of angle. that's about how i'm doing mine

crap the pic won't paste here for some reason. click here LOL
