Need to extend the 2wd column down 2 inches to match up


We have a pair of these vacuum 2.72 front diffs for sale now.


I don't know why but floors seem to fall out whenever this guy is around!

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

the body looks pretty straight (i can't be sure if that is a dent in the left door).  I would just polish it and leave it as is with the badges

Pretty cool. Looks a bit bulky and maybe too large for the size of the car...but it should do it's job hauling stuff around.

If your setting up for offroading as i see with gas cans. its horrible,unless a desert. also a cooler will suck ice in the wind.

so what are your intentions with that? no one can answer you without knowing its application.

Did you do any reinforcing inside?  What did you do to make it water tight?
You did a nice job of fitting the feet to the curvature of the roof. 
I'm right 98% of the time, and I don't care about the other 3%.

It seems too tall to me..and I'm used to seeing like the Thule/Yakima top boxes that are built with much thinner piping so the large piping is throwing me off. It also seems to stick out past the windshield a bit. I'd keep it in line with the roof...and make sure you have it far enough in on the back that when you open the hatch it doesn't hit.
