I read in this forum that the AGR 2 variable ratio P.S. box was just a rebuilt J20 box. If this is true what year j20 would I ask for and will the hose conection be right for my 81 cj8. Is an upgraded pump needed or recomended? I'm running a 2000 4.0 and the pump that came with that. Is that...

Does anyone know the pitch and thread size for the 70s wagoneer tierods? Bob

I'm installing new ball joints on a 75 wagoneer 44. Hanes says to torque the bottom stud 70-90 and the split ring seat on the top to 50. By the time I hit 50 lbs with the sleeve its over half way out the bottom of the yoke and is hitting on the rubber and the knuckle turns real hard. Searching...

I swapped dana 44s into my 81 thinking I could make any combination of brakes work with the right MC and pro valve. Wrong! I have a 75 wagoneer up front with 3 inch pistons and a 44 out of a rodeo with 11/2 inc pistons in the calibers. I used a 11/8 inch bore master from 78 mercury all disk and...

I'm putting a 44 out of a 75 wagoneer in my 8 and all of the tierod ends were shot so I ordered all new tierods and ends from Krage Motor Sport in Tn. After ordering the parts I noticed how much more expencive they were elsewhere. Tierod-46$ as apossed to 126$. Now Im worried about whats going...

I have my 44 wagoneer cut down 4 inches and installed on my 81. Most of the imfo on the steering seems to apply to spring over but mine is a spring under with 2.5 inch lift, 1 inch shacles, and one inch body lift. If I cut 4 inches off of the tie rod do I need to cut any off the drag link, I...

I'm in the prosses of putting dana 44s on the front and rear of my 81 cj8. Going spring under with 2.5 inch ome springs, one inch body lift and one inch shackel lift. I bought some ford towers for the front but noticed the shock bolt is front to back and on my existing set up the lower mount is...

Good service and reasonable prices. Anyone to avoid. Thanks Bob

I'm trying to figure out how much weight I've added to my 8 so I can get the right springs. On the factory guide on this sight has the GVW at 4150. Then on the rear axle it has 2700 and the front at 2200 GAWR. Whats GAWR? Im sure this must be a stupid question but I can't put words to the...

I'm putting 44s on the front and back of my 81 CJ8 that will be about 58" wide. I want to convert the front to 2.5" springs and have a 2-4" spring under lift. Considering OME, BDS, and RE. Are all these kits made up from the manufacturer or can the dealers mix, match and even add a few parts and...

I'm cutting down a 44 for my rear so I can put the pinion in any location I want. I've always heard the 20 is in the center but if my measurments are right the pinion actuually is 1" to the driver side. Does that sound right? Thanks Scrambler Bob

I'm putting a 44 out of a 75 wagoneer in the front of my 8. It has the long hub as part of the brake disc and is capped off with chrome cap, no locking hub. Do I have to replace the rotor to get one that takes a locking hub or is there something that adapts to the existing setup. Thanks Bob

Does any one have any experiance or opinions on the difficulty of cutting down a rear 44. Would it be any harder then a front to get right. Thanks for any insights you might be able to shed on the subject.

I've just bought an izusu rear 44 for my 81 cj8 (4.10, disk brakes, limited slip locker, 15,000 miles, 500$. Now I'm ready to find the front and have some ? I keep reading about the wagy 44 cut down 4" making it a wide track (56"). My JP mag on axle swaps says from 73 to 79 the wagy and j-truck...

I'm going to be installing new gears and I want to put in a limited slip in the rear. I wanted to go with the detroit tru track, but they don't make it for the AMC20. Randys' ring and pinion suggested an auburn locker. Has any one had any experiance with these good or bad. I'm told the coned...

I have a 2000 4.0 with aw4 that had 14000 miles on it when I put it in my 81 scrambler. After I got it running it ran great for 6000 miles and then started running bad. Under any kind of load or low rpm exceleration it's real sluggish and it starts pop pop poping. I kept all the smog and sensors...

I would like to be able to take my hard top on and off quickly without tools. I have a few ideas but was wondering if there was anything on the market for the conversion or if anybody has set their top up this way and have any advice. Thanks in advance Bob

Every sence I put the 2000 4.0 into my 81 cj8 it seems like it takes more pressure on the brake pedal to stop. Is this just my imagination or could it be there is less vacume coming off the 4.0 manifold then there was on the 258. I was told alot of the brake vacume pots are interchangable and...

I'm considering changing my rollbar to have horrizontal bars going to the back and down like a wranglers and eliminating the diagnal bar. that would allow me to put lockable srorage boxes over wheel wells as well as a full bikini top over cab and bed area I was hoping with some small cants in...

I got my 2000 4.0 in my 81 scrambler and after a few minor problems I got it running. It runs great but the only way it will start is if I pour fuel down intake. Must be some sort of senser thats keeping fuel off untill it fires. any sugestions as to where to look? Secound problem is where to...
