What do you need as far as the tub goes? I have a buddy that has a CJ-5 with a brand new fiberglass tub and front end that's been sitting in his yard for years, I bet you could get it pretty cheap.

getting some of the bodywork done. problem comes when trying to put a shorter body on a longer frame and wheelbase. even with moving the tub forward 4" I still needed to add 7" to the front fenders to clear the shock hoops and hav enoungh room for a radiator.

pokey · May 5, 2008

Also had to add 7" to the hood so I cut the front off of an old hood to add on. then discovered that the hood tapers quite a bit so a section had to be taken out of the middle. this created a hood that looks like one off of a willys pu or wagon by creating a point in the center. looks kinda cool so I havent decided wether to leave it or square it off to make it look like a flatty:eeek:

jeeze you could have linked the page at least so I didnt have to go hunting:booo: . The gaskets are to keep the water from getting in and rusting the tube out.

That tub was going to be even more work than this one as well as I never would have been able to put a top on it if I wanted to. Plus this one has a tailgate which is something I wanted on this jeep. The column is a tilt tele one from a early buick I think. I dont really care for the wheel but dont know if I can change it with the telescoping feature.
