    CJ5 Body Stretch

    I've 4-linked my 81 CJ5 and stretched the wheelbase to 98". I don't like the gap between the rear wheelwell opening and the tire. I'd like to stretch the door opening and move the sidepanels rearward. Has anyone done this?

    Use a CJ7 side panel and cut the wheel opening rearward to match the tire diameter (comp cutting is ulgy IMO)
    IF IT STILL STARTS DO IT AGAIN!

    I have seen the CJ7 sides used on a CJ5 tub. How about a CJ6 tub? It's already a stretched CJ5.
