    I don't think its worth fixing myself but the wife wants me to fix it. The first place said they need to cut the rocker out and replace it and want $2300 to fix it. That seems stupid high to me even if my insurance is paying I'm not letting them get ripped of either.

    Here is a distant shot barely noticeable, in fact I barely see it even when walking up to the jeep from that side


    Passenger Rocker

    With the way the 4xg sliders mount it may be OK since it sandwiches the pinch weld. So that action will probably straighten out that one damages section.
