j10

[millhouse]

well Iv'e just got a j10
it's running a ford v8 with a c6 auto
dana 60 rear and 44 up front

custom rear tray and roll cage

is there any probs to look out for on these models?

[sir_camel]

congrats mate. what r your plans for it

[OzJeeper]

Welcome to the fold. Might have problems with parts for the old D60 but the front axle should be OK. Wack in a donor axle from a full size when they crap out.

Keep a close eye on all the welded seams and the faintest sign of rust - treat it!

Only other small item is any tyre size over 91/2 inches wide and your out of the guard covering.....

Oh - and a small point. Its a CJ10 not a J10.. **)

Millhouse good score. The most common rusting points are around the Cowl area and Bonnet guards and floor pans. :wink:

Now now, talk like that will have you tainted with the brush very quickly round here.

C is for class, you'll see. Don't waste youe $$$$ on anymore TJ mods, you'll be selling it once you've wheel'd in the beast a few times.

BTW, love it. Good buy.

Alrighty Dave, looks sweet, you got a steal for that price. If only you didn't want it, and we could have bought it. I hope next year I will be cheering on you and your old man at the comps. :D

[goodol55]

hey m'house and andy, is this the one you and ian have been so hush hush abt lately

[andy_n]

No, Ian and I would have liked to grab it if Dave, didn't want it. But hey he saw it first. :cry:

[goodol55]

Thanx Andy...was it a local car in the brissy area?

[millhouse]

It was in the front yard of a house near brendale in the northern subs

I just stopped to have a look one day on my way out to my folks place
the guy came out an said he was going to sell it and we just went from there

just lucky I guess!! :mrgreen:

[ian]

Dave you won,t be happy with that old thing :? :wink: :wink:

So why dont you sell it to me :D I will give it a good home with lots of love :lol:

Anyway.... Nice work Dave :D

Hi there!
I have found worst rust in the floor pan and some times in the roof. Also check the grill pannel for fatigue where the radiator mounts to it etc. Yer the ass end parts seem to be hard to get. Oh the freewheeling hubs can get chewed out but you can get warn hubs to fit.

Mine will be getting a make over soon with any luck. Includes NOS floor pan, new exhaust system, fit the soft top (factory 1) and attend to the various fatigue cracks.

It's a beast and just could not part with it when I got my TJ and considering it's the first 1 sold in the world it's still going strong!

Phil...
