    I am about to put the tub back on the frame and want to know what I need to install on the Jeep frame before doing this so I don’t have to work on my back in the future to install items like the parking brake cable. From your experiences what should I make sure I do before putting the tub back on. Appreciate all ideas you have.

    That would be helpful to know. It’s a 63 CJ5 with a F134 engine. Basically a stock Jeep with a 2.5 inch BDS lift on it.

    Do everything you need to do to drive it around while its a chassis. I got mine all done then find brake line, Manifold, transfercase pan, leaks all of which would have been so much easier to fix on a running chassis rather then a finished jeep.

    If you were thinking about converting to a dual master cylinder for brakes, now would be the time.
    Much easier to install the mounting bracket for the master cylinder and brake lines with tub off.
    Just my opinion.

    I kept the single master cylinder but did up grade to 11 inch self adjusting brakes on the front.
