Please let us know. I'm hopefully buying an XJ tomorrow that has some rocker rust and I'd love to find an easier way to do this than pay for a custom one off. (I would love a custom one off but being a college student/ server I really have to watch my budget)

More info
This is what I posted awhile ago in my build thread:
Check these bad boys out. A good friend of mine bartered with me for electrical work and he fabbed these up for me. They are 2x6 tube that he capped and tapered to fit the wheel well.

He cut out the rockers and welded them in, then added the supports to the frame rails.

I am tickled pink with them. They stiffen it up a lot and are very solid.

I took it home and started notching my flares from http://www.napierprecisionproducts.com/
Got them to fit pretty easily.

I then seam sealed the braces where they contact the floor and sprayed it with undercoat on the bottom. I taped off the very edge of the 2x6 and painted the rest with 2 coats of black primer, then 2 coats of semi-gloss.

Got to love custom work. Monkeybars offroad. PM me for more information if you are interested. I don't know if he is willing to ship, but I bet I could talk him into it.
