GEN 1 Slip on rocker panel confusion

[rschap1]

Good luck when you get to it.
I did a partial slip on set on the wife's Expedition when we got it.
Never really finished, but keeps from slicing your ankles up getting in/out.
Was more work than I expected really.
Getting the running boards on/off was part of that.
Can't believe the quotes I got from places that would even consider it.
More said no thanks than those that wanted BIG $$$$
Haven't drove the Raptor in winter, salt, or chloride since getting it; since I do NOT want it to suffer the rusting out like that.
Hope it turns out well.

Keep it inside too. It'll rot out if you leave it outside 100% of the time in MI.

I picked up my truck from canada and was able to negotiate down because the rockers were pretty bad. If you plan on keeping the truck a long time id highly suggest getting it done because it never looks as bad as it is. The shop i went to cut out outers and reinforcement and even coated the inside so it wont ever be a problem again. 4k out the door. They did a very good job for the money. Cant even see the welds.

Panels were all from raybuck. 500$ for everything
