J10 Build

Locked and Loaded · Post by **Locked and Loaded** » Sun May 03, 2020 12:11 pm

My J10 has been sitting for over a year with a bad motor and needing a clutch. In that time I have been collecting parts and saving some cash. Stock it has a 258, T176, NP208, Dana 44 front and Model 20 rear which are open, open. I am going to rebuild the 258 with a 4.0 head from a 98 TJ. I am going to rebuild a T18 to replace the T176. I will rebuild a Dana 20 to replace the NP208. I will also rebuild a Dana 60 and Dana44 HD from a J20 to replace the 44 and 10. The Dana 60 will get a Detroit True Trac limited slip. And the front Dana 44HD will get a Detroit soft locker. To top it off I will rebuild a period correct Warn 8274 and install it on a Warn winch bumper with the rare (and ugly) bush guard. And of coarse some Evil Twin Mirror Mounts. This will take some time but if I live long enough it will get done.

Beautiful. And the plants are nice too.

I'm curious what that bumper looks like with the brush guard on it...

Tore down the T18 today. It looks like it's had a rough life. I'll let everything soak in the solvent tank. In the next couple days I'll look at everything and see if I have to order new parts.

Amazing how snall manual trannies are compared to autos. With a 4.0 head work on a 4.2 motor ?

4.0 head on a 4.2 is a common upgrade. Needs a little work on the head to do it.

The Truetrac for the rear Dana 60 came in this week.

Isnt it crazy how expensive a 30 spline Trutrac is compared to a 35? I couldnt force myself to do it. So, I installed a AAM 11.5" with LS and disc brakes for $350. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KI55tbN6p8&t=616s

It's not cheap. But I do like the way it works.

It looks like you have a transmission from a 1979 FSJ, I can tell by the aluminum shift forks. This was an improved control housing over the earlier T18. Good luck on finding new parts!
