I've always thought about just making frame rails and placing the body on top.
That would solve every unibody strength issue I bet it wouldn't be too bad to do and you would have a real spot to mount a bumper and roll cage.
And just about everything fab related for the jeeps can be done with a sawsall and a mig.
The other tools just make things easier.
So do it what are you waiting for?RCrocs #123 Brown CJ-5
