All questions will be displayed after moderation. All answers will be displayed after moderation.

Are the cowl supports included with the tub? Newbie here. . . Thanks

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Yes, that is correct.

Do your body kits/tubs have data plates or VIN #s?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
No, but we have data plates that can be stamped there locally.

Can this tub be used on a 1977 cj5 with 258ci six cylinder?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
It would not fit on that year really.

Whats different from a 2a and 3a tube

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
They are interchangeable. There is a small dimensional difference at the front of the inner wheel wells.

Is free shipping possible for Saudi Arabia?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
We can not ship body tubs and kits overseas. We can ship it free to a freight forwarder here in the lower 48 States. Thanks

Also does this tube have the factory gauge holes cut out?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Yes, the gauges will be pre cut for you.

Does this body tube include the tool box as pictured? Also does it have cutouts for taillights and pedals?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Yes, the tool bin is all there and welded with lid. The CJ-3A tail lights mounted flush to the back tail light panels originally so there are no cut outs. You need to drill your toe board holes. Thanks!

Can I get a cj3a tub built in 2015/2016 that has all the mdjuan improvements?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
These are the new tubs. That is correct.

What gauge metal is used for these tubes? Is it the same as original or thinner?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Built using the same 18 gauge steel on the floors and 16 gauge steel on the side panels found on the original bodies.

How long is there free shipping on the body tub for a CJ3A?

Willys Tech:
It will be thru the end of the year for sure.

How much modification do these tubs require prior to bolting on? Any cutting and welding, or just drilling holes?

Willys Tech:
Really just drilling holes. You just need to drill your body mounting holes and toe board holes and you are off and running. Nothing a drill motor and dremel tool cant fix. Fit and finish. Over the transmission hole sometimes takes alittle filling. They do a great job reproducing these tubs and they are MOPAR licensed.

When these tubs are shipped are they unloaded at delivery location, or is the customer responsible for unloading. Do you know the approx. weight of the tub for a CJ-3A

Willys Tech:
The truck driver will unload to your business or residence no problem. The crate weighs approx 400 pounds.

I'm confused as to what tub I need. My current tubs data plate on the passenger side firewall says 2A. The other data plate shows a serial number of 12461 indicating it's an early 3A. The windshield is one piece (3A). I want to reuse my windshield frame, hood, and grill. Any suggestions? Thanks

Willys Tech:
It really wouldnt matter too much. They are pretty interchangeable. Please call me toll free. I can ask you a few questions and we can ID it for you.

Can you tell me what kind of primer is used on the new tubs?

Willys Tech:
Manufactured using a seven-step metal preparation process, including: A 5 bath dip to totally eliminate rust, dirt and grease; a phosphate and acid rinse step to ensure corrosion resistance and proper adhesion of the primer; new primer formula and application method that is designed for smooth and even finish.

The only serious corrosion in my CJ3A is where the wood inserts are. This makes sense because wood traps and holds moisture against the metal. Are the steel tubs available without the wood or can the wood be easily removed?

Willys Tech:
We do have just braces available. I suppose you could remove the wood but I wouldnt recommend it. I would just seal the bottom of the new tub and you wont have any problems.
