The unknown is the threads and if they are the correct hand. If it is meant to be on the passenger side (LHD vehicle) then I would imagine the threads are going the wrong way. But I suspect AMC used off the shelf parts and these might be the same parts with the ends flipped on both sides, so...

Another option is to take the original tre to a welder/machinist; have them increase the diameter by welding, then machine it to the correct diameter and retap the threads.

What you show is the same as my Overlander. Would this work? Speedway Generic Kit

The rails were all anodized black from the factory. They only became brushed aluminum due to years and years of sun exposure. If you are going for original, black it is. If you are going for what looks good, all bets off, run what ya brung.

The real story is when did motortrend and car&driver become scummy car sales sites? There are more adds on the site than journalism, by far. What a trash experience.

Looks like a fun and exciting trip. Would love to do that one day.

On this forum, you can look at when people joined and how active they are in the community. We all know who the active members are and who has the hoard of parts. If you are looking for parts, start with @certifiablejeep he will shoot you straight.

The T5 transmission is not known to be very durable. If it is jumping out of gear, the case is probably bent and possibly cracked causing the gears to spread under load. Best option is an AX15 if you can get one.

Get too far south, mostly south east and you have beach runners. They look worse than Ohio winter beaters.

Seems like a lot of expense just to lop 2’ off the trailer length. That, and I’d want a 3rd axle under it.

I think I saw one that looked like that on one of my trips around Texas. Either between San Antonio and Houston or in the Hill Country area, possibly around Johnson City. My CRS is flaring up, so . . . not sure where I saw it.

Is it the IH version with the ‘Texas’ front bolt pattern?

Supposedly there was a full sized model at the event, but there was a ‘no photos’ policy in place. It sounds more like a 2 door - extended wheelbase - gas powered version of the electric recon. Full length top that is removable, IFS, possibly IRS, rear seat can face forward or backwards...

I had a heck of a time finding any when I rebuilt my transmission a few years ago. https://www.cj-8.com/threads/torqueflite-999-rebuild.52594/page-7#post-461708 This was stock style and worked well with the 258 using the sniper. I think I used a lockup trans on this one.

Good to know. That might have swayed my optioning the way I ordered it.

Agreed, 90’ of line ilo 100’. 8,000 lbs ilo 12,000 if I had gone aftermarket. Pull strength can be solved with snatch blocks, resulting in slower pulls with greater power. Line length can be solved with extensions. The factory winch is a special design to be more narrow and the mounting...

Well, I did a thing again . . . Ordered her on 1/23, order confirmed 1/28, scheduled 1/29, in production 2/9, built 2/14, at dealer 3/7. Family went to Lincoln City, Oregon for spring break, so we were not able to pick it up until yesterday. So far, I am loving it. Deep down in my heart I...

Postal & Overlander tops are called world cabs. They made them for -7 and -8 CJs. Without a headliner, it is like sticking a 55 gallon drum on each ear and having a toddler play them like a steelpan. Airflow is severely limited, even with the quarter windows of the Overlander. But it sure...

Next time, just feed them by insisting you are right and they don’t know what they are talking about. It really gets the know it alls wound up. On my Sahara, that thing is a flimsy piece of plastic. I cut a hole in it to install a front hitch. I did remove a metal skid ‘ish’ plate that was...

I have been trying to get my wife old (08) Land Cruiser repainted. Took it by many shops and said we were paying cash. None of them are interested. I don’t get it, deal with a cash customer that is willing to pay or deal with an insurance company that tells you how much they are willing to pay...
