AMC-MJ Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 So after owning the shortbed 2wd MJ long enough to fall in love with it then plan out an AMC V8 power train swap . . . I snatched up an 82' Jeep J/10 Honcho, Its getting a J/20 conversion :-) ! So ill have an AMC- V8 Comanche and a 3/4ton Honcho . . . Yep you read it right, Shortbed stepside 3/4ton Jeep ! ! ! What a pair Mike
AMC-MJ Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 Nope, but the engine is on the stand in my shop ;-) ! So yes I am making progress . . . The V8 swap was sorta how I ended up with this Honcho :-) ! Mike
AMC-MJ Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 Boss lady is looking for a Wagoneer, So that's 3 Jeeps in total ! ? We still within normal Jeepism ? Mike
87Warrior Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I don't think there is any minimum or maximum number of Jeeps a person needs to own in order to have the Jeepin Problem.
Dave Stark Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I think cost should be factored in somewhere as well... :roll:
mkbruin Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 only a 3/4 ton? Go big or go home. (no, its not mine. Someday though... for reference, those are 44's on 2.5 ton rockwells.)
AMC-MJ Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 1953 Studebaker M275 <- - Well aware of what 2.5ton Rockwells are ;-) ! I'll end up at the same payload & Towed load has the M715, My truck will look like the AM-General AM715/720s, look way better then the M715s I dislike the windshield and wheel wells ! PO is keeping the OEM honcho rear fenders ;-( ! Mike
MancheKid86 Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 the only problem i see is the lack of photo taking :thumbsup:
Dirteatr717 Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 besides that I don't think being obsessed or attracted to jeeps is a problem 8)
ejndssn Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 well the i know of a song that goes something like this "she thinks my jeep is sexy" by country singer kenny chesney I'd vote for the comanche version :cheers:
AMC-MJ Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 I will post up some of the Honcho once its unburried ! Mike
AMC-MJ Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Its been a long day/night worked a side job for some cash then we get dumped on with some snow so into work work I go . . . Shoveling walks n stoops then salting it all down . . . The tosses some cash for fuel on top of my snow removal wage so I use good ol'AMC MJ ;-) ! Well tonight my door open hard a couple times hitting the fender then it shut really hard, door sticks out like 1/2" from were the fender sits I'm guessing the Hinge pulled out of the Cab like my 62' did years ago ;-( ! I'm going to repair it, Yep you read that right I am going to fix it ! Now if that isn't a Jeeping problem I don't know what is ! ! ! Mike
