I also need the last 18" or so too on both sides and a new rear cross

The shop mentioned putting a square tube sleeve over the frame ends and

Sounds like fun. If you were more westerly (Alberta), wife & I would come
and join you.
But I do plan to "hit the bush" (in another matter of speaking). :-).

Re: Got CJ7 fixed, anyone want to bush run in Ontario Ca. for a coupledays?
LOL!
Nope....
I lost my gas tank last year when the cross member rotted and it and the
skid plate fell off on the trail 5 hours from home...
I finally got my tank out of the back seat and back under and it is held
in place by cargo straps with no skid plate.
It drops off out of the way in seconds....
