2009 rocker panel rust

[Dave Grant]

Hy all....just new here and looking for help!
My drivers rocker is rotting out from mid drivers door right back to the cab corner. I have a trusted body guy here but we cant find aftermarket panels to weld on.
Ottawa Ontario Canada here so the longer I wait the worse it gets
Anyone know a company that makes them?
Its 8 years old now basically. Would have thought some aftermarket company would have them out by now.....

There are no aftermarket parts yet. Gotta go owner. Just did that earlier this year. Check out my thread

Guess they can't keep them in stock....hahaha.

Glad to see they are making them now.

Just though I would post some info on panels. Mopar now sells inner rocker panels.

Quad cab parts:

Left inner rocker 68144995AB $262 Canadian
Right inner rocker 68144994AB

Partshub also carries them and they are based in Canada so shipping is relatively cheap

They just have the outer panels? I couldn't find the inners.

I’m pretty sure I seen them on there. They can also get what you are looking for specifically if u can’t find it on the site you just have to give them a call.

Question on this, though it might be a little off topic.

I have a 17 Ram 2500, and it did not come with any kind of wheel arch or rocker panel protection. I'm sure I could get some mudflaps for it, but I don't really want them. But I do want some protection against the paint surface. I already have a few stone chips on the bottom side of the rocker panel from them flying off the tires.

Any suggestions?

I should point out the only reason I don't want the mudflaps is because I'm not sure if the 35's I want to put on it will work together without rubbing on them.

Thanks

35s won’t rub on mud flaps.
You could do rocker guard. You could even do paintable rockerguard and you’ll barely tell it’s there but still get the protection

You could do rocker guard.

I really like this idea. I googled it, and came up with lots of options... are there any brands you'd recommend? I'd rather do that than mud flaps!

This is why I did full body Line-X.... Rust is my arch nemesis.

These are weld in replacements correct?

i think these are rusting more from the inside out than from rock damage on the outside

That's what the right side of my 2009 QC 1500 looks like...
