Good luck getting any help when bashing the people who can help! Did a swap like this and could give so insight but. Now you can go and search. :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Oh wait you cant search. (NO RED STAR) Not willing to pay the $20 bucks to support the forum that you are trying to get answers from.

if you indeed have a cj-5 then the wrangler tub is going to be ~10" too long.
you can use google to search the board if you don't want to anti up just yet.

Get a YJ frame. Transfer your drivetrain over. Bolt on the tub.

You will be happier in the end. Stronger frame, body will bolt on, and no chopping.

put tub on ebay and turn some cash n get another cj5 tub, alot less work. Ive got 600 out of tubs on ebay. Ive also seen some nice cj5 tubs on there as well. Good luck.

I know anything about Jeeps. It will take some modification. You need a sawzall and a welder or a sawzall and duct tape and the tape measure geberhard supplied above.

I was just informed zip ties can be substituted for duct tape at your own risk.
