1978 Jeep J10 Golden Eagle review from North America
"Best truck ever made thank you AMC"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine knocked.
The carburator leaked.
It was just worn out beat up old farm truck.
General comments?
Tough truck hauls anything and also go through anything. I bough the truck for $500 dollars from a farmer who abused it, but, H ave to say wow the 4x4 (Qudra-trac) works perfect, starts every time. Its been through a lot and I still wouldn't trade it for any thing. The truck is just a beast, but, gets bad gas mileage.
