The drive train works perfectly flawless.
It has the 258 which runs excellent and it came with a 3 speed manual but it has been swapped out for a T18-1B 4 speed manual with the 6:1 granny first gear, Dana 20 gear driven transfer case, Dana 44 in the rear with a limited slip, Dana 44F in the front which I plan on an ARB locker.
The roll bar is not stock and was added by someone, I had to remove it because it wouldn’t let the front seat go back very far without hitting it and I am 6’2″ and needed the legroom.
You have the little Cherokee, This is the Full-size Cherokee. They started making Cherokee in 1974 so this is the first year they made them and continued to 1983 then in 84′ they started making the smaller Cherokee’s.
Next step is new rocker panels welded in and new lower rear quarter panels and then a paint job. I do need a couple bucket seats for it as the bench seat was pretty destroyed. I put some new foam on it and recovered it but it didn’t come out great. I would rather have buckets and a console.
