    Does any one know if it can be used to replace the one used in the CJ5?
    Some wonderful PO done torched the one in my '60 out and I would kinda like to replace it. Or to even know if it is a necessary part.:?:hurrican:

    Not required - I pulled mine when I put a rear tank inside the frame there. If you going to hook up a trailer, just make sure it's attached right if you remove the V member.

    I have a 2" box tube welded to the bottom of the bumper/crossmember which I may reinforce with square ubolts before I go towing any where except my yard. My pickup won't fit in my back yard through the gate but the Willys will. Can even back the trailer around to where I need it.
