J10

[ness]

just bought an 85 J10. Can other J10 owners let me know what mods they have done? Pics would be good. Tyres are our priority but we want to get the right size first go ??? or do we lift????

[GMEMUD]

Here is my J10. 350 chev otherwise stock. Running 31/10.5/15s at present but will go to 33s later as I don't want to muck about doing a body lift to fit 35s.

[ness]

are they the original guards still with 31's and will they fit with 33's

[millhouse]

you can fit 33's on it stock, just need some rims with around 4" of backspace and put some rear flares off a tj on the front ro cover the tyres,

what sort of rims did you use? where are you based I would like to come and look

[TOYROX]

Looks like Pro Comp rim to me.
Good to see another Jeeper in the local area.

[ness]

are you in the bayside toyrox

[millhouse]

rims are just standard black steel rims, pick em up from most good tyre shops 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern so the same as crusiers etc 4" backspace,

[ness]

thanks for that info on tyres and rims and pictures

Does any one have any spare door locks or knows where I could get some?

YEP- Manly.

[TOYROX]

Hammonds will be the best bet to get some door locks localy.
Talk to Gary.

thanks toyrox, I emailed jeep recyclers and they were no help. I will try hammonds tomorrow. Do you have any photos of your cj8 so we know who to look out for

Wooders can help you out there too,

Dont forget many of your parts are CJ parts so if you dont find J10 parts look at the CJ to find them

Also watch out when buying from the US to them you have a CJ10 not a J10 to Australia it is known as a J10 the 2 are very different

Geez Toyrox, bulk buy on the pinstriping?

Ness did you buy this from Westend?

[ness]

yes - do you know it - what do you think?

[The Chief]

ness
If you want wider flares get onto Jacko, he does the original flare at different widths. The original flares look good so stick with these, just wider. Jacko has also done lots with J10 suspension, wheels, etc so would be worth a call.

We did a good coverage of the J10 over 2 issues in Jeep Action Magazine and can organize back issues

[Gildo]

Yeah Ive seen it heaps of time round that part of Brizzy and always thought it was a nice tidy truck. Dont know much more about it.
Good to see it find a happy new home.

No Michael they were on it when I got it. Done by the dealer when new.
I didn't like it at first but it has grown on me so the stripes stay. I have remove the big 4X4 from the doors and change the grill colour to white from bronze.

I don't drive it much Ness but if I see the J10 around I will say gday for sure, I know the truck you are talking about. Cheers

[ness]

hopefully these photos have worked
