Re: cj-7 frame and the yj
ahh a fellow marine. i was in motor t down on lejeune. wish i never got out. now to the question. why not go to the local pick and pull and just get a wrangler frame. the wrangler frame is stronger, newer, should have less chance of cracks from rusting out. i think the c j frames have different spaceing on the body mounts that are welded to the frame. besides that you would have to reuse the springs and axles that cone with the cj frame because wrangler springs are wider, or so i'm told. just an opinion sell the cj frame and get a set of port a torches and head to the junk yard and see what type of deal you can get if you remove the body from it. i found a cy with a 3.5" lift that they wanted $200 for one time. you might get lucky. just my opinion. semper fi
