Its got to feel good to see the tub sitting on the frame even if its a temp fit.

Thank's I under stand the tv cable. I'm going to do this 700r4+203+ford205 Think I'll like it better then the sm465

Thank's for your help. Is there any thing else I need to know I have ran a stick for the past 10 years?

I have a 700R4 to put in my jeep.My question is can I do this all stock or do I need a diferent converter, art carr style shifter. Or will I be ok w/just a big trans cooler and colum shifter?

Nice job really like it keep the pic's coming.

Yes and I beleave it has helped. Stiffen the body+add stregth to the frame=all your hard work last's.

I didn't tie the boat sides to the frame I tied to the outer body just under the door and then braced and welded those to the 1.5 inch square tube That way the body rides on the factory rubber cushion (Doe's that make sence) if you want I can post pic's if that helps let me know

wil you use any type of body lift? i had 1.5 in. and used .120 wall square tube down the full length of the sides to help stiffen the tub then sat it on stock rubber mounts. then hid it w/the 1/4 inch thick boat sides also tied into the body so every thing is one piece.

I have not yet tie'd my cage in. I did run 3 extra xmembers. I'm leaf sprung on all 4 corner's and I've done several hard core trail's I can get a tire up 4 ft. with out pulling another off the ground and so far I haven't even shown sighns of twist or fatige on the body or any sighns in the...

I went with OEM rubber and so far no problems w/the body work or the body mounts.Hope that helps.

Yeah don't I know it. I think you made the right decision though. Can't wait to see the pic's! Have a good time boating.

got new pic's yet!

Garage built cj 4-door

I cut mine didn't box the inner structure to the outer and I have no flex there. You'll be surprised.If it's that easy I'd get it down to 118" if you still have rear leg room.

:rofl: I would stay to plan mine turns sharp enough it's not the hindrance I thought it would be. Besides I had enough time in body work just with what I did.

So far so good If I were to do it again I would spend more time on the door openings I would shorten the front 6" At the time I was trying to use stock doors [lessen the work load] But so far its the best trail rig Ive ever had

Wow gonna look good I am surprised at the length with the 5 tub after seeing the pic's Don't know were my math went wrong but I was thinking with a 7 and 5 tub you could squeeze it down to about 118" wheel base But your still shorter than I am LOOKS REALLY GOOD

Just a heads up Ive had a few friends w/ buggy leaf and it turned out to be the cause of them to go over on an obstacle. It becomes sprung weight and works like a sling shot w/your axle weight I only want to make you aware of this it cost them a lot of body damage And I do like your build...

Looks good so much easyer to work on the frame with the body off. Maybe we should start a thread (Lets see your FOUR DOORS/PART BARGES) Keep up the good work.

I use hydraulic oil and a cooler and I have no more steering issues
