will a 89 tub fit on a 86 cj7 frame? and can the hood fenders and grills from the 86 cj7 bolt up to the 89 tub. or are they totally different?

I did this same type of Tub swap with an 84 CJ-7 and a 93 Wrangler tub. They tub mounts up almost exact. And the nose bolts right up to the tub

There are some minor differences,that can be delt with.the fuel filler is on the opposite side.maybe have to drill or fabricate, here and there,but doable!

I have done this swap too, 89 tub on a 79 frame, we had to move two body mounts on the frame, completely cut them off and move about two inches back.
as for the gas tank, this particular rig got a fuel cell in the rear floor pan so did not have to worry about it, but from my understanding you can use the YJ gas tank, just need to mess with the pump and sending unit!
