Looks like a great place to get away from it all and of course with someone special! Looks like something got you pretty good in the rocker panel though! Tom

Are you sure the mounts will work? The KJ has an odd shape. You should have gone with one of the big three. 1. Rock Lizard 2. Boulder Bars 3. Carolina But I guess the cost of cross the border orders and shipping would kill your budget.

I'm welding them on What Tokyojoe was referring to is the mounts needed for the KJ are longer in the front than the rear mount legs,The 4Runner is a body-on-frame SUV and the mount legs will be the same length,so some modifing will have to be done before they will fit.Could of spent the same amount of $$$ that you are going to pay to have those rails modified and paid for the shipping for some made-to-fit rails for the KJ from someone like RL's.

Yeah, why create the extra work for yourself when there are better (bomb proof) alternatives that bolt right up?

That won't even cover shipping from USA of one of the "Big 3." Not to mention the gun-to-the-head "brokerage fees UPS hits us canadians with when they show up at our door! (Brown refers to where they screw canadians) Don't get me wrong, I love Boulder bars, Carolina's etc. Just nothing in Canada so we gotta improvise!

Makes sense. I cant believe it was only $200 to fix that. Did you just get a new rocker panel or what? I just bought some steel and made my own rocker rails.. It was around $100 at the time but steel has went up.. I would say around $150 tops now depending on the price of steel in your area.

I did that number to my KJ's passenger side rocker about a month after I got it. Not as bad as yours...but it took the paint off and it's now starting to rust. Yeaaaaa...I need to get that fixed. Whats the # to that body shop again???

I should mention.... notgonna get body shop to paint. Just pull the dent and prime. I'm gonna hit both rockers with bedliner.

Bring a winch or a buddy. Some serious pond/puddles. I tried to go around one, thats how I bashed up the rocker... I went up the East side of Harrison a few months back... Getting close to time to do the west, and then on to Skookumchuk!
