jpnjim Posted January 5, 2011 Share 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: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC-MJ Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Nope leave it 2WD, I love the look ya get when you tell people you have a 2wd jeep. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 7, 2011 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC-MJ Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpnjim Posted February 28, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC-MJ Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ya it came with shafts/hub/backing plate/brake assembly every thing but the drums. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMC-MJ Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
