A “donor tub” for that model and year, will be hard to find, in good condition and for a decent price. Best of luck with your projects.
I’ve had Jeep Grand Cherokees since 1978, and my last one, a GC Laredo, went 395,000 miles before rust started on the 4 doors’ bottoms. Traded it in on this 2019 Supercharged HEMI, and love the thrill of wasting almost everything else on the road.
At 73, I still have “the need for speed”. Heh.
At least with the tub off most of the big things are a lot easier to do.
Medically I am cleared to do what I want.
Survive Christmas and if I don’t drop near dead again, hit it hard. Mostly pricey hardware.
