Any shops to pull this out?

[DelMarCruiser]

Hi, have a "new" 82 fj40 that I recently picked up from Big bear. Relatively rust free but does need help pulling out the rear crossmember and body work on the rear tub where the PO installed diamond plate. Any shops you rec for either job? I am up in Carlsbad, thx!!

Try contacting Noah (1973Guppie). Not sure if he does bodywork though...

if the rear got hit that hard you are probably looking at having to take it to a shop that does frame straightening. Unfortunately I can't help you out on anything. Headed back to school in Feb and will be busy in the next couple months getting 2 of my cruisers ready for sale!

Another option is to get a new replacement cross member.

Can you replace the rear cross member without removing the tub?
