Installed Bid Daddy rockers on a 2006 this past week and ran into a few problems. After drilling all the holes I placed the rocker in place and pushed all the bolts in and started placing washers and nuts on the back side. When I came to the fifth bolt back only the top half of the bolt shows on the inside with no good possibility of putting a nut on it. I fixed the problem by putting some steel putty on the part of the bolt that was visible on the inside. The rockers are worth purchasing and at a great price.

I put these on a couple months back, and have been very happy with them. I have notice a few minor rust spots where the powder coating was chipped. I'm actually thinking about having them Rhino lined over the summer. We'll see.
Do you have any picts. of the Jeep? I'd like to see how it looks on another rig.

Rhino lining would not be a wise choice for rockers. Any kind of abrasion from rocks, etc., would peel the lining off easily. Go with some kind of rattle can over the powder coat. Do a light sanding of the powder coat, and it will act as a great primer coat. The hammered finish spray paints work very well, and actually have an epoxy type finish that dries harder than normal spray paints. It's easy to touch up and doesn't take much to get a professional looking finish. Rhino lining and herculiner, etc. are great for waterproofing and providing traction, but not so good for high abrasion/impact surfaces like rocker panels.

I'd like to see how it looks on another rig. x2 on not using Rhino lining or another comparable brand. Had them on my old TJ's Avalanche Rocker Knockers. Sure they look great the first couple of months BUT, once you hit a rock and they start to peel, forget about it! this is the only pic I really have of the rockers BUT, you can tell that they have a "texture" to them and for the most part look alright BUT, give it a few trips on the trails and some time in the sun and they will look like sh!t.  Toward the end of the life of the old TJ, I had a serious Herculining problem! Everything and anything I could, would get Herc'd. (ie: rockers, Younger Bros. rear bu per/tire carrier, headlite bezels, etc.) Not ever again! |

Yeah I use the quick spray paint method to touch up any scratches and skate board grip tape on the step so I don't slip and bang my calf
