Does anyone know if the Eagle replica body tub will fit my rusty CJ7?

Can't see why not, if designed for a CJ7 then it should fit, as far as I know there were no body changes after they made the CJ7 until the YJ came along
-
And of course a YJ tub will fit a CJ if ya doing a rebuild :icon_twisted:
-
the eagle tub was made to fit one of two chassis designs, originally a vw beatle and then a later ford based chassis but again it was more a simple flat ladder frame, so yes it could be made to fit but you may find it is actually wider than the standard cj tub I would get some measurements before going to wild.

It would be so much work, I doubt it would be worthwhaile and would turn your CJ into a bastardised worthless heap of junk. A decent YJ tub is probably your best bet if your CJ tub is really not repairable.

100% :imwitstupid:

do not do it
it looks like a 7 tub but its nothing more than a passing resemblance its nothing like as close as you might think

:iagree:
None of your weather gear will fit
-
Sorry it looks like I put you wrong :headhack:
-
Already forgotten about. Welding the CJ will start in earnest in next couple of weeks.

its the best option
