    Thats why "Replitub from Willys Overland (I think) makes a living on correcting those tubs

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    Remember that stupid repli tub ad in the magazines that pictured a gent holding a crescent wrench in front of the repli tub and saying how easy it was to install ?

    Metal shaper on YouTube did a video on the replitubs.....they aren't that great either. But considering the original tolerance on the jeep assembly line was +/- an inch...

    Yeah, assembling the tub just out there on the floor with no jigs or anything, I wonder how straight/accurate they are? I mean... I guess the tub of an old jeeps is probably NEVER straight anyway, but still. haha

    They care about the MB bodies, they don't care about civilian, especially CJ 2A/3A bodies.
    When they can't get the floor length correct within a inch so the shifter doesn't line up, that's crap.

    When they don't make each of the CJ5 tubs with the correct floor support, again, that's crap.
