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

89 MJ Posted February 16, 2021 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted February 16, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 16, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came in 4cyl MJs, XJs, and YJs (remember the T-case is clocked differently on a YJ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse J Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted February 16, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
