My poor old cj-7 only has about 2 1/2 bolts holding the body on the frame.
Probably the strongest point of attachment is the ratchet strap that goes from frame to frame over the flat in front of the windshield.
I did this to keep the cab from lifting everytime I depressed the clutch....

Hey now..J-B weld has saved my bacon a couple times..I spun a bearing in the housing on a 69 commando I had..Cleaned it out with carb cleaner and built a "ledge" to hold the axle bearing in. (rube goldberg to be sure but it got me home) and 3 weeks ago the high pressure oil feed line to the turbo on the Kenworth broke pulling a grade in the San Rafel swell (I-70 in Utah) and with a little creative use of J-B and a aluminum foil "form" it held for 600 miles (the pyrometer at the turbo runs 950 degrees on a hard pull like that and the oil pressure is 50-60 psi at 2150 RPM). Now for the official disclaimer..Yes it was dangerous and kinda stupid since if it had let go at those temps and pressures spraying on the turbo I probably would have had a oil fire..But hey I'm a professional right..? Dammit quit laughing..

I feel your pain! I need all new bushings and body mount bolts. Hell, I need a new tub! I do dig the ratchet strap idea! =D>
Sorry about questioning your work. But I have bought some jeeps like MudRat has talked about. I have seen some real

penguin,
i am just kidding with ya, .... it sounds like we need to start a thread about some "trail fixes" using jb weld, duct tape, bondo, steel wool, and zip ties.... from what i have seen around here, most of the jeeps (cj's are held together with these fine inventions.
Yep, done a few in mine time also. Those really scary trial fixes or something to get me home because something broke. But what is really scary is when they become permanent fixes on the jeep.Originally Posted by cobra5laddict
When I was in highschool people I knew used to say I could fix anything broke with duct tape and bailing wire. I have done a few strange fixes.
