Its been a while with being away on a holiday and coming back straight into Christmas, this was the first chance I have had to even look at the jeep, so I took the time today to clean up and then weld the rear floor to the riser so the tub is now one piece.

On a 2A, the tool box is simply supported with this bracket. On a 3A, they introduced a new lid and tool box design. With the new 3A design came a built in rain gutter around the tool box opening. This gutter would capture water and channel it out of this same bracket. The water would exit out of a hole in floor riser. This is one of the many upgrades one would find on the new and improved...AWESOME...CJ-3A.

[/ Thanks for the detailed info several of your posts have help explain many long standing "mysteries" like the tool box lids. To think I once thought a 47 and 48 where the same. I tend to agree late 482a and 3a's are the new and improved flatfenders, starting with the frame Thanks again Joe W Edited by wadoyado - 03 Jan. 2018 at 3:02pm |

I thought that color was an artifact of the light you were using. Excellent job, BTW!

2A vs. 3A Tool Box question:
Shadow, your handwork and approach to the rebuild are really impressive. I'm glad it prompted discussion about 2A vs. 3A Tool Boxes--I'm going to need a toolbox for my 2A resto and am wondering whether the MD Juan repops are the 2A type, or 3A with the water gutter and revised lid. Does anyone know?
