my jeep project

[CRF136N]

WOW :eek: I must say you have one hell of a project on your hands! I never realized just how bad these MJ's can be effected with rust until I got on this website; Guess I should concider myself as very lucky to be on the west coast with the addiction, because as long as their inland from the coast a bit, they are usually 100% rust free; just very neglected. I tip my hat and admire with the greatest respect your willingness and obvious desire to save this MJ; Best of luck.

wow man between all those trucks you might be able to put one together good luck and that solid front axle that is 2wd is crazy. whats the point of a 4 link with 2wd?.... anyways good luck man

[freakjeep93]

I'm acually going to make it 4wd once i get 2 hours down the road to buy my axel ..... just keep forgeting lol :oops: :shake:

The point is to keep the suspension the same between 2wd and 4wd, only having to make one chassis for either drive train. Cheaper production, and easier for us to swap.

[mnkyboy]

ive met a couple people who didnt realize thier XJ was 2wd because of the front axle,some people assume all jeeps are 4 wheel drive.

 

maybe thats why its called a dummy axle

[freakjeep93]

lol

my plan is that I'm going to divorce mount a np205 and use my 2wd 5 speed. I'm gunna get working on it as soon as I'm not doin that crasy work stuff or stuff with the firedpartment

:Canadaflag: :cheers:
