    My driver side rocker panel on my 95 is rusted out. There's a bunch of holes running along the whole panel, a couple that are a few inches long. I've been looking for an aftermarket slip on that I can get welded on but can't find one. Trying my best to get fix this without have to fork up the $ to have the old one cut out. Do aftermarket slip ons exist for my taco? Anyone know where I can find one? Thanks. Matt

    All replacement panels should be welded in. They are part of the structure of the cab. Get it fixed correctly, or it will bite you in the ass later. Look for rot elsewhere, while you're at it, especially at the cab mounts.

    Yeah, the slip on's are welded on over top the old stuff...and the rear cab mount on that side is something i plan on taking care of in the same shot. I probably won't have the truck for too much longer. I've put a ton of money in this baby in the last year or so just keepin it alive. Now it's time for an inspection and this is in my way!
