The price of quadra-trac fluid, and the external oil pump housings tend to crack over time.
The drivetrain will last forever if properly cared for, even with wheeling trips. It is capable of things that no full size pickup should be able to do!
My J-10 has the AMC 360, TH400 tranny, Quadra-trac, dana 44's, about 8" of lift (front spring over, rear blocks, and 4" lift springs) 35" tires, B&M ratchet shifter, push bar, front and rear tubed bumpers, edelbrock performaer package, K&N filter, list goes on...
Too much fun to drive, and definetly a unique vehichle. I have never seen a pickup get looks like this one does, and it's a long way from being done. I wish there were more of these on the road and less rusting away in people's back yards.
Tight turning radius, will tow anything, climb anything, and look good doing it.
The J-series are a rare peice of history, and whether you modify it or restore it, it will be beautiful and be appreciated where ever you go.
And if you are looking for economy a jeep, I suggest you go check out the XJ instead. Long live classic Jeeps!
We have a 76 j10, Jeep should reconsider these and make new ones. It's a tank I love going mudding and never worrying about getting stuck, so cool! We're usually pulling others out so everyone loves when we go. It's in the process of getting redone, the bed is rusted bad, having a hard time finding one, my husband is just going to make one himself. There never was or will be another truck as good as these ones.
Jeep girls love to do it in the mud! :P.
