David's JP project (spike42718)

Any updates? Any luck finding a tub?

No luck yet. Everytime I go to look at a tub its either scrap metal or someone says its a YJ when its a TJ or a CJ5. I find them in other states but none close enough. Where Im working so many hours I can only drive so far. I dont have any problem paying for a tub but Im trying to do some "bartering" with my full doors and hard top if anybody has a good lead. Im sure somebody out there is feeling the cold temps

Sweet!! Ill have to join tomorrow so I can PM for pics. With Christmas coming Im not sure when Id have time to make the trip though. On a good note, the guy Ive been talking to that parts them out emailed me and said he had one in awesome shape but I havent heard back. Im starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel....hope its not a freight train!!

Good luck, I saw that one was a bit closer than down here in GA.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've looked at over 20 tubs with no luck. I was able to get this beauty. Its about 10000000000 miles away but I should have it in my garage within a week or so. Wish me luck that these storms dont destroy it or it gets hit by a comet in transit. I was about to just give up on the whole thing
Im so happy I get to work on my jeep again. I was so unhappy just filling up the broken body with parts.

Congratz! Looks pretty good. I haven't seen anything on the news about comets lately but I'll keep an eye out.

Glad you haven't given up yet!
