Alright I finally got my engine and my tranny pulled from the jeep and the tub is coming off tomorrow I hope. I'm working this jeep whenever I can. My question with the body rust work is can the mounts to the frame from the tub be bought and welded on instead of fabbing the tub to frame mounts. I got a guy with tons of metal fab exp and he is teaching me to weld, bc I had very little exp with it. He said he thinks he can make them but it be quicker if we could buy them and just weld them in. I've checked morris and jcwhitney but can't find anything for what I need. Just little back knowledge Ive only got like 5 places holding the tub to the frame. The mounts that I'm wanting to buy are the body to frame mounts under the firewall. I 'm going to replace the front and rear floor pans and also both rocker panels and some patch work on the round back panels.
