Essential Things to Do Before Putting Tub Back On

[Austin]

Exactly what I posted above. Keith bought a non-repaired non-Willys-Overland tub and had to do all the small fab work himself. For me - it was well worth the slight cost to have it done before I got it. I just wasn't into messing with all the holes and brackets that you need to do on non-Willys-Overland tub. They are not perfect but there a lot less hassles in my eyes.

haha I thought you meant I'd have to do that with a willys-overland tub because when you said "repli-tub" that's what Willys-Overland calls theirs.

I considered the yj swap but even then knew I'd be getting myself into more fabbing than I could handle.

That was probably my fault, as I initially insinuated there may be some additional work needed on even a repli-tub based on my confusion of Keith's issues. But as CJ correctly pointed out his repli-tub came from Juan and not Willy's. I think we're all on the same page now.

Not sure if you mean my build or were reading Keith's words as mine. Mine has a new frame but I'm repairing the original body.... again. But it's still underway.

I was reading Keith's words. Confusion cleared up.

Good luck on your build!
