Replacement Steel Jeep Body Tubs for Willys & CJ Models
Restoring a classic Willys or Jeep CJ requires more than patch panels and repairs. When rust, damage, or prior modifications make the original body unusable, a complete replacement body tub becomes the only reliable solution. Many original CJ and Willys bodies are now over 50 years old; even well‑maintained examples can hide stress cracks or corrosion under trim and insulation. Repairing them fully can take hundreds of hours and still leave weak spots. A new steel tub eliminates those risks while offering improved fit and thicker metal compared with OEM bodies. Willys Overland Repli‑Tubs provide restoration shops and Jeep owners with accurately reproduced steel body tubs designed to match original Willys and CJ bodies while delivering modern manufacturing consistency and durability. Because our engineers built fixtures and jigs from original manufacturer specifications, each tub is a true bolt‑on replacement designed to mount to your Jeep chassis in about an hour. Pre‑cut firewall holes, pre‑drilled pedal and steering column openings, and accurate accessory mounts mean you can bolt on the new body without welding or extensive fabrication. Our tubs are built for restorations where fit, authenticity, and long‑term performance matter.
What Is a Repli-Tub?
A Repli-Tub is the most user-friendly, high-quality steel replacement Jeep body tub on the market. Engineered as a true bolt-on body, it's guaranteed to mount to your Jeep's original, unmodified chassis in under an hour. No welding, cutting, or extensive fabrication needed—the tub aligns perfectly with all factory mounting points, so you can simply bolt it on and go. We created this innovative product to eliminate the usual headaches of body replacement and get your project moving quickly.
We're proud to offer Repli-Tubs for nearly all vintage Jeep models, including military Jeeps (1941–1971) like the WWII MB/GPW and M38/M38A1, as well as civilian CJ and early Wrangler models (1945–1995) from the CJ-2A up through the YJ Wrangler. Each Repli-Tub is built to factory specifications (or better), using heavy-gauge steel panels equal to or thicker than the original tub.
Some models' tubs begin as high-quality, Philippine-made replica bodies that we precisely re-engineer for a flawless fit, while others (such as our CJ7 and YJ tubs) are assembled from scratch right here in our Scranton, PA facility. In every case, we ensure each Repli-Tub meets our exacting quality standards for fit and finish.

Why Restorers Choose Repli‑Tubs
Restoration professionals and serious enthusiasts choose replacement tubs when:
Severe rust or damage
Many CJ and Willys bodies are decades old and often conceal hidden corrosion or stress cracks. When rust is beyond economical repair or previous repairs have compromised structural integrity, a replacement tub eliminates these issues.
Reduced repair time
Fully restoring a badly corroded body can take hundreds of hours and still leave weak spots. A new tub provides a clean foundation and reduces metal repair labour.
Deteriorated floors and mounts
Floors, mounts, and supports often deteriorate, making them unsafe or impossible to save. Starting with a new tub ensures consistent structural strength.
Restoration quality demands
High‑quality restorations require clean, uniform metal and accurate geometry; a new tub avoids the compromises of patched panels.
Lack of specialty tools
Cutting and welding old panels requires equipment and skills many DIY restorers lack. Our bolt‑on tubs eliminate the need for complex metalwork.
Construction & Manufacturing Advantages
Our tubs are manufactured with attention to detail:
Correct body geometry and panel shaping: Each body starts from a steel platform and is built around custom fixtures with cam‑locks and mounting points that fit into factory tooling holes. This ensures consistent panel fit and authentic body lines.
Accurate reproduction of original specs: Willys Overland used original bodies and frames to develop jigs and correct incoming steel shells to original equipment (OE) specifications. Tubs are made from 18‑gauge steel like the originals.
Reinforced mounting locations: Additional welds and reinforced mounting plates provide strength and rigidity beyond OE bodies.
Durable steel thickness: Most authentic reproduction tubs use 16‑ to 18‑gauge cold‑rolled steel. Thicker metal resists denting and warping during paint curing.
Precision weld execution: Skilled craftsmen use 220‑volt water‑cooled spot welders to produce factory‑appearing welds and consistent tolerances.
Consistent manufacturing tolerances: Fixtures are periodically test‑fit in original bodies to verify dimensions, ensuring each tub bolts on without rework.
Accurate accessory mounting: Repli‑Tubs arrive with firewall holes, pedal openings, taillight wiring, and fuel filler holes pre‑cut, and brackets for grille support rods and tailgate seals installed. This eliminates guesswork during assembly.
Unlike original bodies that may have endured decades of corrosion or modification, new tubs provide uniform structure for restoration builds.
What Is Included with a Replacement Tub
A replacement body tub is a complete unit from the firewall to the rear tailgate. A Jeep body tub includes the floor pan, rocker panels, firewall, wheel wells, and cowl sections. In our kits, the cowl, front floor, firewall, rear floor, rear wheel tub,s and side panels are welded into one unit, just like the original. Optional components may include:
Windshield frame, hood, fenders, and tailgate: Our complete kits add these assemblies for customers needing a full shell.
Grille and body mounting kit: Includes necessary mounting pads and bolts for certain models.
Battery trays and weather seals: Additional accessories to facilitate installation.
Soft tops and seat frames: Available for select models.
Raptor Liner protective coating: We offer optional rust‑proofing and sound‑deadening coatings for long‑term protection.
Our team helps customers select the correct components for each restoration.
Installation Considerations
Replacement tubs are commonly installed during frame‑off restorations, complete rebuild projects, or custom Jeep builds. Before installing a new Repli‑Tub, you should:
Inspect the Jeep’s frame for cracks, damage, or rust and repair as needed.
Ensure running gear, suspension, and steering components are in good condition.
Inspect and transfer the wiring harness if not fully replacing it.
Verify alignment of body mounts and check for modifications to the drivetrain, steering, or suspension that could affect fitment.
Because our engineers built fixtures and jigs from original drawings, Repli‑Tubs are true bolt‑on replacements and can be mounted to your chassis in about an hour. Professional shops or experienced DIY restorers typically handle installations, though confident enthusiasts with appropriate tools may also perform installs.
Fitment & Compatibility
Repli‑Tubs are produced to replicate factory dimensions, but restorations often include:
Frame repairs or modifications
Drivetrain swaps or engine upgrades
Steering conversions or brake upgrades
Suspension lifts or custom suspension components
Aftermarket fuel tanks or electrical systems
Our team works with customers to ensure proper compatibility planning before installation.
Shipping & Delivery
Due to their size and the need for protection, replacement tubs ship via freight carriers in protective wooden crates. Industry shipping policies note that body tubs typically ship by truck freight and arrive in sturdy wooden crates. We assist customers with freight delivery coordination and offer lift‑gate options when required. Our in‑house crating protects the tub and any other parts purchased from transit damage.
Restoration Benefits of a Replacement Tub
Replacing the body tub provides immediate and long‑term advantages:
Immediate benefits: Eliminates structural rust and prior repair issues, creating a clean starting point for your build.
Short‑term benefits: Faster restoration progress, reduced metal repair labour, and better component alignment; you don’t need specialty tools for complex welding.
Long‑term benefits: Improved durability, higher restoration value, and a cleaner finished build. Steel bodies provide superior strength and structural integrity compared with fiberglass alternatives
When and Why to Use a Repli-Tub
A Repli-Tub is the ideal solution whenever a Jeep's original body is too rusted, damaged, or time-consuming to repair. Jeep enthusiasts of all kinds turn to Repli-Tubs for their builds:
DIY Restorers: For home mechanics, a Repli-Tub eliminates the need for advanced sheet-metal work. You don't have to be a welder or fabricator. This replacement tub is essentially a plug-and-play body that makes your project far more manageable.
Professional Shops: Restoration shops choose Repli-Tubs to drastically cut labor time. Instead of spending weeks patching rust holes and straightening old panels, they can install our precision-fit steel tub in an afternoon, saving time while ensuring a quality result.
Off-Roaders: If you've bashed or cracked your Jeep's tub on the trail, a steel Repli-Tub offers a tough replacement that gets you back out there quickly. Built for rugged use, it lets you enjoy your adventures without worrying about new cracks.
Collectors & Perfectionists: For those pursuing a factory-accurate restoration (or a solid foundation for a custom build), a Repli-Tub provides like-new structural integrity and alignment. It eliminates the hassle of chasing down patch panels or wrestling with misaligned parts. The result is a Jeep that looks and fits together like it just rolled off the assembly line.
Across all these scenarios, people choose Repli-Tub for its ease of installation and long-term durability. It's a practical investment that can save you countless hours of work while vastly improving your Jeep's structural integrity and appearance.
Steel vs. Fiberglass: Advantages of an All-Steel Tub
When it comes to replacement Jeep bodies, steel tubs offer significant advantages over fiberglass. Our Repli-Tubs are crafted from automotive-grade steel because steel provides:
Superior Strength & Durability: Steel has the structural integrity to endure harsh off-road use. Unlike fiberglass, which can crack or split under stress, a steel tub absorbs impacts and vibration without failing. We use 16-gauge and 18-gauge steel (matching or exceeding the original body thickness) to ensure your new tub is just as tough as the factory one, or tougher.
No Fitment Headaches: An all-steel body retains original-style mounts for straightforward assembly. Every Repli-Tub comes with all factory holes and brackets pre-cut or pre-installed, from firewall openings and pedal holes to seat mounts and tailgate hinges. Attaching fenders, hood, windshield, roll bars, and other accessories is straightforward because the necessary reinforcements and threads are already in place. By contrast, fiberglass tubs often require you to measure and drill every opening and improvise supports for pedals, seat belts, or roll cages, leading to extra work and alignment issues.
Simplified Wiring: With a steel tub, electrical grounding is as simple as it was from the factory. The metal body itself serves as the common ground. Fiberglass bodies are non-conductive, meaning you must run dedicated ground wires for all electrical components. A steel Repli-Tub lets you avoid that extra complexity entirely.
Authentic Look and Feel: Steel tubs maintain the classic Jeep look, feel, and even sound. The panels have the same contours and solid heft as an original body, keeping your vehicle true to its heritage. Painting is also more straightforward. Steel can be prepped and painted just like any OEM metal body part, whereas fiberglass requires special preparation. If authenticity and longevity are priorities, an all-steel Repli-Tub is the smart choice.
Choosing a steel Repli-Tub means you get a stronger, more user-friendly foundation for your Jeep. You'll encounter far fewer headaches during the rebuild and enjoy a more durable, authentic result.
Standard Black Raptor Liner Pricing
Color-matched Raptor Liner options are also available for an additional cost based on your selected paint code.
Adding Raptor Liner at the time of your Repli-Tub purchase ensures the steel is sealed and protected before installation, helping prevent rust from ever taking hold and giving your Jeep a rugged, trail-ready finish that’s built to last.

Repli-Tub vs. Restoring an Old Tub
Should you repair your original Jeep tub or replace it with a Repli-Tub? While a minimally rusted body might be saved with a couple of small patches, the reality is that most decades-old tubs hide extensive rust and damage. Fully restoring a badly corroded body is a labor-intensive endeavor requiring advanced cutting and welding, and even after all that effort, a patched-up tub may not be as strong or true-fitting as a new one.
Consider the time and expense of a traditional body rebuild. Stripping an old tub often reveals that floors, supports, wheel wells, and more are severely corroded. You could spend dozens of hours cutting out rust and welding in new metal, only to struggle with alignment issues when it's time to bolt everything back together. Many owners try this painstaking process, only to realize they've poured in significant amounts of time and money with frustrating results.
By contrast, installing a Repli-Tub essentially resets the clock on your Jeep's body. You get all-new steel in factory-correct form, so there's no question whether repaired sections will hold up. Every critical mounting point is solid metal and in the right spot. For those who have attempted to revive a crumbling tub, bolting on a Repli-Tub can be a huge relief. It spares you the frustration of endless rust chasing and puts your project back on the fast track to completion.
A Repli-Tub can even be more economical overall. The cost of multiple patch panels, rust treatments, and specialized tools (or paying a body shop) will likely exceed the price of our ready-to-mount tub. And the time you save, often weeks or months, is invaluable, because it means you'll be back behind the wheel that much sooner. Many builders who tried to fix the original eventually turned to us for a Repli-Tub. Once they see the superior fit and quality, they realize it's the faster, and ultimately more cost-effective, way to finish a Jeep restoration.
