What year Wrangler tub? You should look for a 87 to 95 replacement - there isn't much to do. I's basically bolt on, a little fabrication needed for a few of the body mounts but not too bad - just moved a few inches (rear mounts). The remainder will bolt right up.

Check Craigs list for some pretty good deals. We found one - actually a full body for only $225! Easy bolt on. That was 90 YJ on a 78 CJ.

And if you want a real good walk through... CJOffroad.com - Technical Writeups

yeah all you need is to adapt to the body mounts and everything mounts up, even the dash. the only thing i would worry about is the gas cap, since it's on the other side of the body. so either change your gas tank or the new body.
