Hey guys, names Eric. Just picked up an 85 wagon. Dead stock. Initial plan was build a fun gambler 500 car but we all love this funky little wagon.
So our plans changed a bit. Still doing the gambler but going solid axle using some Cherokee axles. Gonna link it and run coil springs up front. Probably a 242 t case as we would like it to be full time 4x4 if possible.
Hoping for about 6" of lift and gonna run 33s likely gonna end up keeping it for a long time and eventually upgrading to a Dana 44 high pinion front and a 44 rear. We will see.
I just have to say I love the shape and idea if these eagles. AMC was way ahead of the curve here!
