    If I can swing it, I'm close enough to pick up one up myself. 4/5 hours away.
    If, and its a mighty big if right now, I can do it I'll go in on the package though to help cost.

    What time frame are y'all looking at?

    We can help with the same thing. We think we could stack them in the trailer and get some in the back of the truck as well. Except for Saturday's when Pete has to work, Pete has all week that he could travel and pick up or drop off as needed. Maybe between us and kamel we could swing this.

    It sounds cheap enough to make it easier to put one of these on the new V8 jeep instead of doing a body swap.

    Can we get a sign up list started with locations and time frame you are interested?

    Before we do a sign up list, who's going to get the tubs, what's the price etc.

    After we know that I'll start a sign up list.

    :rofl: Oops.

    I just get so excited. :oops: I'll back away from the keyboard now.

    I've copied down the number and will ask Pete to call tomorrow and get the skinny.

    Just FYI...IMHO...etc.

    After owning a 1-pc front clip for years I'm glad to be back to a standard front end.

    You lose alot of underhood mount points. My OBA setup was inside then, and sits on top of the fenderwell now.

    You'll need to fab up a rad mount.

    To swing the clip back on stock hood hinges you'll either need a lift, or hack off the lower bottom rear of the front fenders and attach those to the body.

    I believe 4WD has a kit to flip 'em forward, but then no bumper mounted lights or winches.

    It *was* nice for engine work, I had connectors in all the wiring so I could pull the entire front in about a minute. But overall I like the stock setup better. Fenders can be pulled easy enough.

    5 slot grill?

    What's up with the "cargo" area on the tub?

    If I have to give up that much room in what's already cramped I'll pass. Thanks for the pics Dennis.

    Tom bought this style on purpose. They have the regular style tubs as well. He is going to use the space in the rear of the tub for tool storage (it's double wall). You have a choice of the 'normal' or this style. I forgot about that... :oops:

    Oh!

    Well in that case. I don't fancy a 1 piece nose, but a regular tub if well constructed depending on the price...

    Hey, when all of you get done wrapping your A$$es in 'Glass, and all of these discarded steel tubs are litterin the landscape, don't forget those of us strugglin to keep steel tubs in service...

    If the tub isn't worth saving, maybe some panels could be cut from it to help others out. $.02

    Uhh, I don't think you want any of my rust or Bondo. R)

    I thought about patching it. I don't think it's worth it. :(

    Prolly get a second opinion on it first though.
