MD Juan CBK012 Steel Body Kit for 81-86 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler
These faithful reproduction body tubs feature the correct 18 gauge steel at the flooring areas, firewall, brackets, cowl assembly, and wheel housings. Body sides and rear corner panels use slightly thicker 16 gauge steel. The body tubs are assembled with spot welds like the originals and feature a seven-step metal preparation process which includes a cleansing bath to remove rust, dirt and grease; a phosphate and acid rinse to ensure corrosion resistance and promote primer adhesion. Finally, an advanced primer formula is then applied with a smooth and even finish. All tubs have the necessary body mounting channels and are ready for prep and paint. Dash, firewall and transmission tunnels
feature blank areas to accommodate all applications. Units include the entire body from the firewall back. Tailgates sold separately. Body tubs also feature a blank dash panel and a steel glove box with door.
There will be drilling and some modifications for most installations. Many holes are pre-punched and some include internal fasteners where applicable. Units arrive pre-primed but will need to be prepped prior to painting. These brand new steel bodies are imported directly from the MD Juan in Philippines; the only manufacturer in the world that is currently reproducing these vintage bodies.
Body tubs ship by truck freight in sturdy wooden crates.

MD Juan Steel Body Kit Reviews
Oh my where do I begin...ok the positive...it is new and thicker material in some spots. Hard to argue. It looks like a jeep scrambler body. It was cheap. Those are the good points. Bad points...no holes in the firewall, except the ones that were mislocated like the wiper motor, fan motor, heater core, shifter box, dash panel holes. Every curve on the body needed major work and bondo to make acceptable. Second to last two frame mount holes didn't line up. body about 1/2"narrower than stock at the cowl. HOnestly, I wish I would have spent the money finding a used clean stock specimen and worked from there as I would have a better end result for less money. Absolutely the worst purchase I made for my restore.
