Mine has 180,000 miles on it....10 years old. Rockers are going fast and they can keep going! $2K a side???? Screw that! Money better spent throwing at a new truck! I will drive this one until it dies rocker panels or not! Its been a great truck! Never ever put a dime into the truck for mechanical issues......all tires brakes and a set of shocks but I know the hits are coming! I will give it some love when it needs it mechanically if I can get another 50-100K miles out of it but the body is not getting a nickel!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

When you go for a Ma. Inspection sticker, if they are doing their job they will give you a rejection sticker.

Easy to say for a body guy that can fix it himself. I know how to use bondo and if I have to slap some on there to get a passing grade I will.
