It is common to put a YJ tub on a CJ frame, lots of people do it cuz of rust. I think TJs are different enough that it wont be bolt on.

The YJ is very similar to a CJ7 (some of the body stampings ARE the same.  A TJ is different but with a little fabrication could be made to work.

Adam,
Check with Wayne at the meeting. He has a YJ7.

Are you building an open Jeep? It is easier to clean out after a deeper than expected hole or lake. You better get the full doors if you want the antlers.
