jpnjim Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Is that 88' a 2WD or 4WD ? Mikey If you're asking me Mike, it's 2wd (and staying that way, so I don't drive it in the snow :yes: )
AMC-MJ Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 Nope leave it 2WD, I love the look ya get when you tell people you have a 2wd jeep. Mike
Pete M Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 back in it's former life, people used to assume my 88 was a 4wd all the time. :yes: one guy actually said "are you sure?" after I corrected him. :rotf:
AMC-MJ Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 I kind of like having a 2WD jeep its kinda cool being different ;) ! Mike
jpnjim Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Yep, 2wd, and tucked away. Posted some pics here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27845
AMC-MJ Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Lol must be nice, My 2WD Manche is rolling through her second winter and do it with no rear brakes :) ! This was going to be my MJs last winter further cemented by the upper door hinge pulling out of the cab post . . .last winter indeed ! ! ! Plus V8 2WD no weight n snow = Bad idea ! Mike

Plus V8 2WD no weight n snow = Bad idea ! Mike One of the worst storms we ever had around here was the 'April Fools Day Storm', broke just about every snow record for inches of snow per hour, inches in 24 hours, etc etc. Crazy storm that dumped close to 30" overnight. I made it to work the next day in my 2wd MJ. :D Had 4" lift, on 31's. I filled the back up with cinderblocks & snow, the back bumper dragging the ground probably raised the ft up to 5" lol. but I made the 20 mile round trip to work no problem. :thumbsup:
AMC-MJ Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 I'm very impressed with the abilities of a 2WD jeep it has out most the 4WDs in met on the road this year :) ! I can't wait to see how this Honcho will perform . . . Something about Jeeps, even the 2WDs seem very capable in slippery/Mucky/Snowy messes ! How did Jeep get their Rigs to out perform the rest ? ? ? Is it a purposely engineered ability ? ? ? Mike

AMC-MJ Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 AMC-20 is home :wrench: : Ya buddy :cheers: Mike
jpnjim Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Did you get the axleshafts with it too? (don't look like they are there in the pics) If they are already out, and you get a chance, could you post up the axle shaft lengths please? I'm curious if their lengths are the same as the 60" wide (wide body) Model 20 used in AMC cars. When I get a chance I will post up the lengths of the 60" wide automotive M20s shafts for comparison. Glad to see you got it.
AMC-MJ Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 Ya it came with shafts/hub/backing plate/brake assembly every thing but the drums. Mike
comanche12 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Glad that you like it and no picture of shaft ? Even my mj too? :( just kidding and sorry for no drum but still need to get new one anyway :thumbsup: also did you open diff cover and count the gear for ratio yet?
AMC-MJ Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Long trip from my house to yours I haven't done anything with it yet just snapped some photos and put it away. It looks a bit narrow might not be the right one :( But its still an AMC-20 at a decent price so I'm still happy even if it don't fit the MJ Mike
AMC-MJ Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Nope the wife/boss lady was, She snapped the photos gotta like a girl who enjoys/supports the hobby :D Mike

AMC-MJ Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 I guessed it was an MJ AMC-20, but I think the MJ-20 had solid axles and these appear to have a big nut on the ends. Making it a 2 piece axled unit . . . Either way I love AMC-20s so I'm happy with the purchase :cheers: Mike
