So an LJ Tub followed me home a few weeks back. Thanks to Larry and David for helping me retrieve it. Build details to come.

Would have been easier to get the frame also .

Cant wait to see it getting done!!

I wanted to eliminate the rear overhang, so I didnt have a use for the LJ Frame.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

picked up a length of TJ frame rail from cole this weekend. Slowly getting parts together for this.

Anyone have a back seat for a 04-06 TJ/LJ they want to get rid of?

If you can get the seats away from the wheel well, you could possibly use JK seats.

That's an interesting idea. The JK seat is a little wider and has head rests. Brooks' plan involves moving the wheel openings back to have TJ overhang, but I don't think modifying the interior wheel wells was in the plan. The bestop trail max seat may be a good option too. When my kids get out of car seats I'll be looking for something with head rests.

Brooks, do you have Matt on the lookout for a seat?

I have a number of seats available for around 200, trying to find a deal if there is one to be had.

JCR Offroad has a Black Friday deal going this week. Saved $300 on the pair of Aluminum stretch corners and the Rockers. Its about to get real.

gotta drive it to uwharrie in a few weeks...then the cutting starts

Your planning on modifying guzzy with a new tub and stretched frame?

If you like the JK seats, it’s not bad cutting the seats down and trimming the foam to make it look natural. You would just have to get creative with a sewing machine or pay someone to recover it.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

thats the plan Steve, I got my other frame sleeve this weekend. I need to wash it really good and I'm working on final measurements now.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Well that escalated quickly. Tomorrow I will pull the rear axle and gas tank and prepare for stretching.

 

[Weldin Rod]

Don’t mind helping out if you need a hand.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Thanks Scott I may call you up. Got the rear axle and the fuel tank out this morning.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Next step is getting these control arm brackets out.

At least he'll be well versed in the disassembly part.
