Thanks for this, I have my own Willys and have been pondering what to do with it for a while.

yeah, he talks a lot about adding grooves for deeper penetration, and angled cuts to ensure more surface area.

also pretty pleased he talks about keeping stock suspension locations so as not to mess up factory specs by raising it etc.

of all he's done (and I'm only part way through) this was somehow just very cool.

"I have cut the Grand Cherokee floor to the length I want and need to turn up a flange so it can be plug welded to the cab rear wall. I just traced the floor contour onto a piece of thick board I had from the kitchen sink cut out. Then cut it out with a jigsaw, clamped it over the end and hammered down the metal to form the flange needed."

Holy crap, what a cool project! A few things:

1) I really wish I had this guys fabrication skills
2) I really wish I had the time to use said skills
3) The "two cheap engine stands as a poor man's rotisserie" idea is absolutely brilliant!
