Answer 1

Why would you ruin a good jeep .. you can get replacement tubs ya know.

Answer 2

First things that come to mind:

Some of the mounts have to be relocated on the body.   Not hard.

Gas tank filler position is on the other side from a CJ.   Either relocate or you have to cut a new hole and fill in the old one.

There are quite a few holds that aren't properly located, no big deal though.

Some cutting/modifying is required for the defroster ducts.

A few other minor things, but these are the main obstacles.
