will a 97 wrangler body adapt to a cj7 frame

[CoreyYoungCj577]

I know with minor mods like moving some body mounts and switching the tail gate opening will allow you to adapt a 87-95 body tub, but would a 97 wrangler frame be that simple or would it be harder to do? if anyone knows these answer let me know.

Thanks,Corey

if you were to look at the pictures of the frames you would get your answer.
it is all possible, just how much fabing and welding you want to do, the major diference in the frames is cj frames are flat, because of the suspension. However the tj frame is not, nor does each frame rail run parallel to each other as in a cj. I tihnk it would be easier to adapt a cj body to a tj frame than the other way around

Not without lots and lots of fab work.

Sorry Corey, you're going to have to stay within certain guide lines with a CJ frame. That means a CJ body, or a YJ, but nothing else unless you have lots of time, talent, and a good shop.
