I also got to see how the tub fits with the longer frame.

I didn't get any work done last week, went up to Mass and Vermont to go wheeling with my Jeep club. Yesterday I made some progress on my MB. I finished the body mounts and rear supports for the centered d-ring mount.

I also added a rear floor support for the centered rear body mount and it will be tied into the cage. All but two of the body mounts will be tied into the cage. There isn't a lot of room to run "frame tie-ins" so I decided to have the body mounts play double duty. Each has a 1/2" bolt, six total.

I still need to stretch the nose once I mock the engine, radiator, and fan.

I started the front frame arches for suspension travel. I will trim these the next time I have the body off the frame. I can continue my fabrication with them the way they are.
