FAQ
Q: Where are your bodies manufactured?
A: Although manufactured in the Philippines, our Repli-Tub Jeep replacement bodies are modified and re-engineered in our facility in Scranton, PA. The quality of work being done by Jeep enthusiasts right in the U.S.A. can't be beaten by any foreign manufacturer promising perfect fitment and hole placement. We have 30 years of experience mastering the process.
Q: Is your body “Guaranteed” to fit?
A: Our Repli-Tub is the ONLY vintage Jeep body you can buy anywhere that IS guaranteed to fit your chassis right out of the box.
Q: Can I return your body if it doesn’t fit my chassis?
A; While it has never happened in our 28 year history, our Repli-Tub Jeep replacement body CAN be returned for a full refund if it does not fit directly to your original chassis.
Q: Can I come visit your operation before I purchase a new body?
A: Yes, we love visitors to our facility, and will be happy to show you around at any time. If you live close enough, you can also pick up your Repli-Tub Jeep body if you so choose.
Q: Is your body the same thickness metal as the original?
A: Yes, our replacement Jeep bodies are 16 gauge and 18 gauge in the places where each is appropriate.
Q: Should I repair my original body or replace it with your Repli-Tub?
A: If your original body can really be repaired with just a few patch panels, that is the best option. Unfortunately, if your body is rusting in some places that you can see, it is also rusting in places you can’t see yet. In that case, it’s probably time to bite the bullet and replace it with a brand new Repli-Tub.
Q: What if you don’t have the part I need currently in stock?
A: Even if it’s not on our shelf today, if the part you’re looking for is available anywhere, we’ll do anything we can to find it for you.
Q: How can you stock “new OEM parts” for 50-year-old vehicles?
A: For years we’ve been buying up parts overruns and old stock and packing it into our warehouse. As a result, we’ve accumulated a treasure trove of parts which includes OEM, used, rebuilds, and reproductions. So, no matter how old your vehicle or what part you need, chances are we’ve got it… or we can get it fast!
Q: Are you the same Willys-Overland company that started manufacturing vehicles in the early 1900s?
A: No, the legacy of Willys manufacturing ended when Kaiser-Jeep phased out the name and the line in the mid 1960s. The Willys-Overland Motors name was reborn in the mid-70′s, with a new company dedicated to purchasing and reselling hard-to-find Willys and Jeep parts.
Q: How do I receive my Repli-Tub?
A: We welcome customers from all over the country as they arrive to pick up their Jeep replacement bodies. Shipping is also available worldwide.
Q: Do I have to pick up my new body in Toledo?
A: No, we can crate and ship you new Repli-Tub to any city in the world.
Q: Do you ship outside the United States?
A: Yes, we’ll ship to wherever you are (assuming there’s a mail or freight carrier who delivers in your area).
