I just tapped the gas and turned the wheel in snow to spin around within 2 lanes. (I avoided a LOT of smash ups that way) My 7' bed J10 would turn around within the shoulders of a 2 lane road dry.

The Blazer will go despite the protests of my spouse and son... the Nissan Diesel in the J10 will be a completely stock install without drama... will be pretty gutless, but should be economical... suggestions on gearing for it? My options are 4.10, 3.54 or 3.31 at this point... Not sure what I'll do with the CJ10A at this point... may drop my 258 or 232... or even a Ford 460... after all those 4.88 gears in that big honkin' rear end are ford... the CJ10a is a 2wd config with an NP219(?) plated out for 2wd only. Anyone interested in the CJ10A chassis? :) I may go up north Saturday, not sure I can wait until Sunday... ;) john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://johnmeister.com/fotomeister - Trust Jesus: http://freegift.com SAVE power, avoid viruses, use LINUX: http://johnmeister.com/tmcp.pdf SAVE fuel, use synthetics: http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #3215 **************************
