OK so we have been given very generously from Daniel and Mr. Complete a TJ tub... I went and picked out a good straight tub today and it's black! ![:punk:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/3KZmHO3UZDby07SoKuid.gif) No fenders, grill, hood, or glass.. just the tub! Should be ready next week.. Here is where we need your help other than actually fabbing on it.. I need ideas for the build.. Instead of putting the grill under the hood.. I'm thinking of using the whole back end of the tub and mounting a regular grill back there.. use the front floorboard as storage.. I need some more ideas.. some illustrations would be awesome too.. Let's see what ya got!!

so is the thought to use the entire jeep body? tub and front clip? or no front clip?? I just can't see using the entire thing (to long) and can't see it looking clean with no front clip.

If storage is going to be in the middle you will have to watch for heat getting to it. or make a cooler on one end.

Could do a grill under the hood. And use the rest of the tub for storage.

There is only a tub. No fenders, grill, hood, bumper.

The thought is to only use from firewall back... from the firewall forward will be a trailer tongue.. Then using a normal portable grill in the rear tub area and use the front for storage.. Maybe get a canvas cover made for the top like an offroad trailer..
Of course this is just throwing ideas out.. Putting it on paper as an image would help alot!

Basically take legs off a gas grill and bolt it down in the back?

I would still prefer to find fenders, hood and grill and build it the right way but what ever everyone decides to do i'll be there to do it. Maybe i'll take the old one since I have the most money in parts for it and finish it for myself ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I missed that part the first time. What is wrong with a top for a cover? Wait, no windshield frame or roll bar, huh?

Don't take your toys back just yet.. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Thinking of ideas that is simpler, faster, cheaper and something different than the rest.. If we have to buy a hood, grill and windshield along with the other hardware it's gonna get pricey.
