There has been some concern about the fiberglass body strength and safety.
For those interested, the builder of the tub, Mike Gozzard, laid his FULL fiberglass BJ42 on its side at 80 k/h (50 mph) into the ditch to miss a deer on the road. The truck hit a rock with the front fender.
The resulting damage was a fist sized hole in the fender and the fiberglass hard top side partially separated.
The fiberglass parts are extremely strong, quiet and better insulated than steel or aluminum.
If there was any risk of the tub being less safe than factory steel I would not use them in my builds.
Mike says "off road use only" so understand what you are buying.
The only issue is how a person mounts the body. If the individual that installs the tub doesn't know what he is doing then there is risk.
