I know there's a space between the body and frame

A cover? My 01TJ didn't have a cover.
Not sure about my 05Rubie though. I'm talking about the area where the frame is an arc above the axle. Maybe she built a nest in there. fray wrote: >>I know there's a space between the body and frame >>behind the rear wheels. Did you look there? > > > What is the way to access this area?

Probably not behind the tank, but above it. Again, there is considerable
space between the back of the wheel wells and the rear body panel. It is pretty easy to see where to wash.

No. Get down on your hands and knees and look up. The space is wide open
from the bottom ... "fray" > wrote in message oups.com... > > I know there's a space between the body and frame > > behind the rear wheels.

I remember seeing a site somewhere that this guy cut some bar above his gas
tank and raised the tank a few inches for clearance... maybe enough room above it for the nest? Troy |
