    I took my 74 cj steering box in to local shop and had them shorten up stop to stop turns and it’s one of the best things I ever did .
    Nice ride buddy.

    My grandfather built one from the ground up, 1983 CJ7 Laredo with an AMC 360. No joke he beat a tranzam in a Drag race. Smokey and the bandit tranzam.

    T-4 trans., or a truck trans? Looks like a t4, using first to start. Built a 78 CJ5 with the 401 loved it except dealing with the soft doors. Now have an 85 CJ7 with a Ford H.O. 5.0 serpentine belt engine, hyd. clutch, T5 (T4 with extra gear) 5Sp. hard doors, galvanized tub, (85/86 only) and air conditioning! Perfect old man Jeep after owning 4 of these since I bought a new 76 Levi's!

      Trans is T176 4sp. I forgot the gear ratio off the top of my head but it’s not very road friendly. Lots of low end tq in first to second though
