Bloody ripper Fouros, I love it. I too one day hope to be the owner of an older Jeep (probalby when my KJ's 15 )

How does the CJ drive & what's it got


quadratrak, free wheeling hubs, looks like it has a ome lift, turbo 400 auto, 4.2L 6 251ci , no front drive shaft and a bit of rust to cut and weld 33s "BUT"

its a plated Renegade and only 500 of them were ever bought over to australia

first on the adgenda is to put a brake booster ( 2 feet on the pedal job) and add power steering33 and no power steering makes for a great workout)

Sounds good, I take it the engine is OK. Why is the drive shaft out :?:

Mate, you can now say the your one of 500 :lol: . Were you lucky enough to get the full service history & original sale papers. :?:

it was revving around 2500,rpm OD locked out

with the OD on it sat around 2000rpm and towed like a charm , no swaying , no labouring on inclines , I was VERY IMPRESSED with how it towed thet CJ for 75 miles (100 kilometers)

No disrespect, but both rides are soooo! sweet it's is hard to decide which should be on the trailer and which one should be doing the pulling. I mean this as a total compliment to your vehicular arsonal, which is the BIG GUN to take to the party A real hard decission. Congtratulations you have 2 real winners. 8) 8)

it was a dead flat motorway 4 lanes ok a bit down hill and the trans didnt up or downshift at all ( infact at onestage whle the traffic was light i even had the cruise control on ) the KJ is one awesome towing machine

OK i was at its upper limits but it never felt like it was struggling
