All aluminium body cj7 with an amc v8 built

 

The 304?

 

That’s pretty cool, definitely one of a kind

 

Really now?

 

My concern wasn't so much with the truck, but the nut in between the wheel and the seat. I can make a gutless truck get up there, but you learn to do that over time, everyone starts out wheeling with brute Force and ignorance.... Not a great mix for moab

 

Well what do you do when you're pushing with gas softly but it's not going up a ledge? First brain response says push the pedal harder.... When maybe you should change your angle right away

 

Sumbitch

 

That's just hard on the TC and trans and loads everything up more than is necessary. I don't like to do that, even the 4 banger with the auto is way overkill for wheeling, just have to be smart about how you do it. If you make something easier at the wheels, you make it easier everywhere else too.

 

Not a big ledge huh?

 

Mall curbs arent that big of a ledge.

 

All this talking of ledges makes me want to run Boulder Basin again... Probably snowed in by now though. Not overly tough but it makes you think the entire time about tire placement and it punishes you with some downhill backing up around obstacles if you think wrong.





Dan and Monte, I borrowed some of your pics but I'm on my phone so I couldn't link to Flickr the usual way.

 

Weve got Uwharrie Natl Forest nearby. They have one trail there with quite the ledge.

 

Thats the only ledge Ill take my truck on. Its hard wheeling something youre still making payments on.

Cough cough @eon_blue

 

Yup that an Rausch are pretty much it for you guys huh? One day I'll get there just to say I did but with how little there is to do out there it may take a while for me to want to drive that far.

 

I think the bank still owns the 99

 

You should let them have it back, why would anyone make payments on that

 

Potts mtn in Roanoke and uwharrie are the closest actual wheeling trails to me. Everything else is offroad parks.

 

Cause it works

 

Like actually how much equity could it possibly have though, do you recall how much it cost originally?
