No thanks! This rocker was such a pain in the butt. Lost Wages helped me because there was no way I could squeeze the cab back together and tack the rocker at the same time. It was a bear. The drivers side went right in last night though....
I did the other side in a little different order and it seems to be much better than how I did the passenger side... Good luck!

Speaking of taking a break, I've been on a "break" since mid April. Man, I really need to get back to it. Plus, Im using my new wheels as night stands, and my girlfriend hates it. I guess 20 inch billet wheels dont go with the decor too well.

What order did you weld the pieces in on either side? My drivers side went smooth but the passenger side is being a biotch!!
