I’m new to the site while looking for information on my Liberty, thought I would share about my J-20 too.
October 2007, I worked out a deal for this 1977 J-20. I had been looking for a Jeep to use just on trails, and really just lucked out finding this Jeep when I went to help a friend do a brake job on his Chevy mud truck. While working, I asked his neighbor about this old Jeep. She responded by saying she wanted it hauled off, so I came back the next day and winched it onto my trailer.
Here is what I started with. The Jeep has a 360/T-18a/Dana 20 with a Dana 44HD front and Dana 60 rear…
I have spent at least 100 hours labor getting the truck to the shape it is in now. Along the way, I wheel it to check out the progress and figure out what I need to do next. Future plans call for a SOA front/Shackle Flip rear and cross-over steering. I will also be cutting off the frame right behind the spring hangers.
Wheelin over the last few months while working on the build.
Tires and rims...
Intake and carb upgrade...
Electrical system upgrade and grill guard.
Over this past weekend, I replaced the u-joints in the front driveshaft and then meet up with some friends at a local hole.
And next time my buddy decides to flex on me, I’ll bring back a bigger truck and show him how it feels to be mounted…
