how to properly box a frame

[orange-crush]

gotta box my cj5 frame here in the next couple weeks and was wondering if someone knew some ways to do it that would save me some time. also what thickness of metal should i use to box it in?

How bad is the rust? You may find it easiest to sandblast it first. If you are not already down to the frame, that means a lot of work, but will be worth it in the end.

if i were you i would start with some 2x4 rectangle tubing and build my own from scratch it would be easier and you could shape it any way you wanted to better accomodate your stretched wheelbase and huge ride height you have going on there

Starting with some 2x4 box is for sure going to be the best way to go about it.
