My Jeep with the lift and BMW seats in. Jack_Frost_61CJ5's 1961 Jeep CJ5 Jack_Frost_61CJ5's 1961 Jeep CJ5 Yeah, just a picture of me "being a boy" as my wife would say. Had to weld using a 50+ yr old arc welder, as you can see here. Jack_Frost_61CJ5's 1961 Jeep CJ5Jack_Frost_61CJ5's 1961 Jeep CJ5
I used 1" square tubing, about 1/16" thick to make the brackets. Hindsight being 20/20, I would have used 1/2" x 1" tubing to give a little lower profile, but I used what was sittin' in the scrap pile.

I have a GM 4.3L V6 to put in, mated to a Muncie 465 ton truck tranny, and adapt it to the transfer case, giving me a crawl ratio of about 87.

In the future, I hope to put in half-ton truck axles for a little wider stance and stability, but as it is stock, it's neat.
