So I have finished beefing up my new frame, off an 86 CJ7 to replace my 81 CJ7 frame that is cracked. Redoing body mounts on new frame as they are a little rusty, while doing the measurments I was looking at the frame dimensions,
Cj7 Frame
So much for that drawing!
You are correct Greg, the dimensions are wrong. Crap I have given them out to a few folks.
My K measures 29.5" hole center to center instead of 31.3". M is 43.5", not 41.5" like the drawing and I didn't want to dig out N.
My rear frame measures 37.5" outside to outside.
This is on my replacement frame sitting in the back yard.

So for others, 50% of the CJ7 frame dimantions are wrong, so I wouldn't put too much faith in the YJ ones either.
