I'll give them a call. The big steel supplier that's nearby doesn't sell anything thinner than 16 gauge, in 4x8 sheets. I'll check with TS. Thanks for the suggestion.

Once I got the tub off the chassis, I built a "redneck rotisserie". It works great. I can roll it around the shop as needed and it makes it a breeze to access the underneath of the jeep. I modeled it after the one that I built for my '78 280Z.
Damn that needs to be patented Cajun!!!!Originally Posted by Cajun98
Cajun, gm and you could give a clinic on how to build effective heavy shop tools from wood. Fantastic rotisserie!
That is 'way cool - ingenious!
gmwillys, thanks for the offer. I'm going to check with TS today. TJones, I can't take credit for the rotisserie. I first found it on a Datsun zcar site. Works great on the datsun using the factory bumper mounts but still needs a few tweaks to improve it for the Willys. bmorgil, thanks for compliment. Necessity is the mother of being cheap, lol.
Cajun, I bought a 4'X12' piece of 18 gage from one of our local fabrication shops. If you don't have any luck at Tractor Supply, let me know how much you need. We can work out a trade.
I just learned about rotisseries - this one is ingenious Cajun. wtg & thanks for the pictures. Tremendous build you got going on...
WOW!
That "Datsun zcar" rotisserie is cool. I searched YouTube and found some great info on on how to build the rotisserie/pushover jig/tip over jig. This old dog just learned another trick. THANKS! What did you use for attachment points?
Started drilling out spot welds in the hat channels. There are a lot of welds there! Also had some rot in the rear floor supports. Just cut out the bad and welded in new metal.
