LostNcrRanger Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Does anyone know if i can get new rockers for my pathy? Mine are pretty shot and i doubt much that finding them in a junkyard is going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 There have been various threads on that repair. Everything from custom to welding in panels from a donor truck. A quick search should bring them up... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostNcrRanger Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 This i know,but i'm looking to see if anyone has source panels as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytrosfinder Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 This i know,but i'm looking to see if anyone has source panels as well. I do not believe anyone has any info on this in terms of a source. I know cause I got the same problem. Bust bet is to either get some sheet metal and DIY. Or cut a panel from another car. Do you have a 2 door or a 4 door? I might be able to get rocker panels from you from my local yard. Cause here In the south there is very little salt so hardly any rust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unccpathfinder Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 i've got some with rock rash that are solid but shipping would probably suck a little (prob like $40 or so) ...starting to debate the chopping of the 95 and whether I want to start that here in the next couple of weekends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I remember seeing a post somewhere here from a bloke who replaced his with RHS steel. Heaps stronger, as they become an integrated slider. Cant remember where I saw it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything's better then driving around with a hole in my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 this is the driver side and it is the worse side: the other side is just small little dents...i can try to get a pic of that today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostNcrRanger Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hmm. On the driver's side i might be able to salvage some of the rockers to cover that up. Where i'm rotting is behind the front fender and ahead of the rear fender. It also goes up into the door and a slight ways up the rear fender. When i have access to a better camera (I've recently broken my phone and the replacement phone's camera is garbage) i'll get pics for you guys.

Hah, mine is the exact same, with recent trail pwnage Goodluck, i may have to do this if i don't get some sliders soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I found actual replacement parts online once, but the cost was stupid expensive, like $300 per side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 what I did was sand off the rust and fill the holes with expanding foam then sand over that, primer it, sand it again, paint, buff, and done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis0076 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 what I did was sand off the rust and fill the holes with expanding foam then sand over that, primer it, sand it again, paint, buff, and done "and done" for a few weeks... the foam will trap moisture and accellerate your problem. But thats just my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about $180? http://www.courtesyparts.com/pathfinder-pa..._5716_5717.html This is on my "To Do" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unccpathfinder Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 my rockers are no longer in good shape...they're kinda flat now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallybob Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I had a local metal shop bend up new outer rockers for my '92 from 14 gauge steel. They're a bit heavy but they won't rust out again in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeV Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 One of the Ronin guys cut out the rockers and replaced with sliders I believe (theking) on ronin but don't remember as I have been out a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is kind of my plan for my 88. Cut out the outer side and weld in rectangular tube along the length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemedoughboy.com Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 this is the driver side and it is the worse side: the other side is just small little dents...i can try to get a pic of that today whats wrong with it? it looks like you actually used your pathfinder as a 4x4 instead of a mall crawler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 as a replacement panel not a lot of people want to replace it with rock rash... but this could be considered mall crawling...and is why the pass side rockers are flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
