The answer is simple and one you will decide all by yourself.

Just ask yourself this question:

Do I like to lay on my back, on the floor , under the jeep, lifting heavy drive train parts into position in the dark?

If the answer is yes then install the tub first on the chassis!

I just got home from the hospital today and it is looking like i will be laid up for the next 6 months. So I guess the jeep has to wait some more
I had to stop for some 4 months after an accident with the wind and a pile of brush. Long time ago...

I got at least one TM on proper procedure of handing fuel, sent by a friend.

Here is hoping your recovery proceeds rapidly.

As Wes stated, install everything you can before installing the body...
