Well it's not a AMC car but it is some of the last AMC 's. This thing is alot of fun to drive ,on and off road. Since the " clean" pics I put in a 350 Chevy,turbo 350 trans with shift kitt,stock transfer case. It has stock axles with a Posi-lock in front,witch is really cool. The jeep was in really bad shape when i got it but it was a ball to work on! Lets just say my UPS man was greatful for all the work I was throwing his way.It has a 8,000lbs winch, 3.5in lift, 3in body lift,I hand built the bumpers,painted it top to bottom,all new brakes,lines, hoses,new steering,lots of sheet metle work. It's basicly a new jeep. I hed it on Criegs list, but changed my mind cause my buddys from up north are coming to visit in feb. so I want to take them to Gulches off road vehicle park so we can beat the shit out of it first. Hope you guys dig it.

Great looking Jeep. I have a TJ myself and enjoy wheeling it even though it is still stock. I just finished helping a friend do a lot of work on his 94 YJ. We put a Ford 8.8 in the rear rebuilt everything in the powertrain except the engine and did an axle over conversion to the springs. He has a tru trac in the rear with an ARB in the front with 4.56 gears running 35's Boy there isn't much that the Jeep can't handle. What size tires and gearing are you running?

Im running 33/12.5/15s for tires, however besides Posi-lock,axle joints in front and seals in the back I didn't touch them so I never bothered to check what I have for gears. I had planed a bigger axle swap for it but Im probably going to sell it first.

Well sold my little Jeep today. I hate to see her go but I don't really drive it much anyway. She sure liked to smoke the tires. But then it was like driving a skid-steer down the road. Hard on the back guys. Looks like I'll have extra cash for the Mustang!$$$$$
