Look at @mnkyboy's truck. That is one of the baddest trucks on the forum and is just a 4cyl. Plus, a 4x4 swap is easy (ish)

Jesse J Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 do you need a new trans for a 4wd swap?
Jesse J Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 Just now, 89 MJ said: What is he wanting? a j truck maybe. all though you did just fuel my fire to convince him to get it.
89 MJ Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Yuppers, a trans, T-case, driveshafts, and front axle, plus the shifter stuff. A J Truck will not compete with an MJ offroad, nor will it ride as nice or get good fuel economy--I know this from experience. For a high schooler, there isn't much reason to get a fullsize truck, especially considering that a properly equipped MJ (Metric Ton truck) had the same towing capacity as a J10.
Jesse J Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 good point. it does make it hard to try to find a 4wd ax5 trans so a little tricky maybe but we will see. I will talk to him
89 MJ Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 On the flip side, wouldn't it be kinda weird for you and your buddy to basically have the same truck? I do have a few friends that own Comanches, and don't think it is weird that we own Comanches, but we were Comanche guys before we were friends. None of my Comanche friends go to my school either--in fact, I think there is only 1 or 2 XJs at my school.
Pete M Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 the metric ton and the tow package are 2 different packages. and yes, to legally tow 5k you need to have the tow package. just being an MT won't cut it.
Jesse J Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 Yeah I guess but the world needs more comanche owners.
Jesse J Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 how hard are 4wd ax5s to come across
89 MJ Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 36 minutes ago, Jesse J said: how hard are 4wd ax5s to come across Not very hard at all. They came in 4cyl MJs, XJs, and YJs (remember the T-case is clocked differently on a YJ)
Jesse J Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 ok cool. well research to be done and deciding if he is even going to get the truck to be done
89 MJ Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I'm sure a well experienced person or two could convert a Comanche to 4wd in a weekend, everything is pretty much bolt in.
Jesse J Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 he want's to flatbed it for work and take it weekend wheeling

fiatslug87 Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Just for completeness, listed for $1500.
Jesse J Posted February 18, 2021 Author Posted February 18, 2021 he isnt really stoked about it. mostly because I am the comanche dude but also just not what he wants you know. and I think it's important to get what you want
Jesse J Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 kicking myself I didt put a picture in this thread because https://cars.ksl.com/listing/7106888 this ad has the same vid but if I remember correctly looks wayyyy different now
