Anybody Mount A Flat Back Tub On A Rotisserie?

i'm getting ready to build a rotisserie from the plans listed here and i need to know if anybody has mounted a flat back tub -mine is a 72 cj5- on a rotisserie. main issue is how to attach the rear of the tub, since every pic ive seen was a tailgate tub mounted up via the tailgate hinge bolt holes. i dont have those obviously and the only thing i can think of would be to weld a couple of brackets to the rear of the tub to mount the rotisserie arm. the entire floor is getting replaced and all of the rear body mounts are completely gone so mounting to the rear body mounts isnt an option.

anybody else run into this problem?

 

I just did this with my 48 CJ-2A I am reconstructiing the tub for. I used a cradle under the tub attached with stand offs to Body mount locations

scroll down on this page of my Project thread on the CJ-2A page and you will see some photos to help you The cradle is made from 1.5 x 2.5 .125 tubing

A little project update on Chug A Lug

I had to do this since my tub was in two halves and it connects on the bottom of the raiser so had to be upside down and perfectly level to weld it together. I got it within less then a 1/16th.

 

I used an extra frame I had laying around and built my rotisserie off of that. That way I had all the body mounts in their correct location. It added some weight to the rotating mass of the whole thing and, there were times when the frame was sort of in the way but, I know that everything is where it is supposed to be.

 

Here's how I did mine. Mine is also a '72. I used the existing holes for the spare tire carrier

 

Another shot showing the front. It's kinda redneck but it works perfectly and was built for free using scrap metal.

 

i think this is going to be the way to go for me, i have nothing to attach to elsewhere without welding brackets onto the body. thanks for the pics!
