Project beginning
I'm getting ready to remove the rusty tub on my 85 cj7 and begin the
project. I'm not sure if I'm getting a fiberglass tub or used steel, but
eith way I'm removing the old one and having the frame painted. I need to
know what tools I should have on hand prior to the task. I have a set of
tools for most back yard operations and an air compressor - what else "must
have" tools should I get.

Re: Project beginning
when i took the body off of mine i had to use a torch on a couple of them.
they weren't rusted that bad but it helped a lot
other favorites:
breaker bar
impact wrench
long extensions-for the ones in front of the gas tank
patience?
possibly a cut-off wheel-since your tub is really rusted
don't forget to disconnect:
the brake lines right below the master cylinder at the firewall
the parking brake cable under the rear passenger seat
the parking brake at the pedal-the cable runs through the frame
the gas tank fill lines
the rear axle vent line-it goes up near the filler neck
the wire harness going to the rear lights-i think
just MAKE SURE nothing is connected when u lift it.
good luck!
