    With that kind of logic we should all be starting with a tube chassis or be wheeling stock vehicles?

    start with a CJ-7, wrangler, or TJ - something longer with a better(and wider) frame and body rather than cut up and modify a perfectly fine CJ tub and frame...
    You can always put the CJ grill and hood on a YJ tub as I did.

    Even if i started with a tj/yj I would end up stretching the wheelbase and cutting up the body so..... and why would i want a wider frame?

    I was thinking flat belly when you change to a real t-case but looks like you have a doubler and moved your axle back far enough to have a decent d-shaft. Might work out ok
