BODY CONSTRUCTION
General
Jeep vehicles are of all-steel construction, with
insulated body mounting points that provide a
secure attachment to the chassis frame.
All major body panels are of heavy-gauge steel,
reinforced, flanged and welded. The bodies are
completely detachable from the chassis unit
and are insulated from the frame by body
spacers placed between the body and frame
and held in position with body bolts.
Spacers are located between the body and
chassis mounting points to insulate against vi-
brations and road noises.
Periodic inspection is necessary to determine
the condition of the body spacers and hold-
down bolts. Worn, loose or fatigued spacers
permit the body to settle, causing body lean or
possible interference between the floorpan and
various chassis components.
