The rear is a RA-15. I know this is what IH put in them from the factory, but I'm not sure if they manufactured their own, or had it made by someone else. The 4.88 provide lots of oomph with the big tires, but the four speed transmission limits me to ~50 mph.

I've been following your Cummins Longhorn build. Love the compounds and look forward to seeing it finished up!

The IH Corporate RA rears are brutes. If I remember right, they manufactured their own. There is also a 4.30 pig (as well as 5.57, 6.17 and 6.72) available for them...changing gears is hardr, because the ring is RIVETED to the carrier.

Very good looking Jeep

This thread is bad Arse! subscribed can't believe I never saw it before

[special-K]

That's one fine example of a Renegade! Better than factory,yet very original looking,and certainly reminiscent of all those I recall from those great old days! My best friend's first 4wd was a gold-ish green-ish '73. I remember the tires were really aggressive and called "Mud Wompers" and he liked to womp the mud . That one would probably not have made a good candidate for a restoration

[johnnyclack]

Weren’t those Jeeps built by Rambler ?

From a former owner of a 1976 FJ-40 (350”<>350hp) a direct rival of Jeep owners for that era

[chevy71super]

You are correct. American Motors bought Kaiser/Willys in 1971 and built Jeeps until Chrysler bought AMC in 1987. You are correct, I used to wheel with a lot of FJ owners back in the day. Funny thing is they had to put a Chevy engine in them to make them half decent . . . .

Correction: they came with Toyota’s version of a Chevrolet engine (it was a 235” six cylinder knock off; Toyo's = 258")which lead to the death of FJ-40 imports into the USA market in 78~79’.

To meet the EPA standards Toyota moved the engine temp up to a level where it destroyed the OEM engine. The thermostat was set at 235deg. The newer engines had aluminum intake manifold mated to the exhaust manifold (typical Chev six configuration). At 13,000 mi my intake manifold virtually melted through the mated chamber.

I R&R the six with a four bolt out of a 1973 Blazer, from then on it was screamer. (back-in-the-day) Off the line I fried allot of Camaro’s & Super Chickens

[special-K]

Yes,and Rambler built good cars,also

This is just too damn cool!........OOPS! A thread I started and forgot it's about "vintage". Been a while,I guess. It "looks" kinda sorta vintagey-like...ish

[RANDY COX]

Not trying to troll here,but Jeep guys ask for it. I parked next to a Jeep in my Jimmy today that had one of those silly "It's a Jeep thing...You wouldn't understand" banners on the windshield. I'm sorry,but I get tired of the Jeepatude. I had a thought to get my own banner made for the Jimmy that reads "You're right...I don't understand...at all". If I was into pasting crap on my stuff I'd do it,but I have more class than that...justa passing thought. But,seriously,the best Jeeps have everything swapped-in off a Chevy...or GMC...or Ford...or Dodge

[mud.man.rj]

I agree Special K, I have had a 56 Willy's an 81 CJ8 (scrambler) and an 81CJ7 with a 360 and 13" lift all over built, but still went back to a Chevy, just can't help it.

[johnnyclack]

The cream always rises to the top…. Took me 25yrs before I wised up and came back to GMC/Chevrolet

I agree. Mine is mostly gm and a little ford. No dodge parts.. yet anyway

Scout/IH guys (I am formerly one) have a phrase about the Heep community, though I'm sure some thin-skin would be offended were I to post it here.

[johnnyclack]

Scout’s rule :

Back-in-the-day we spent allot of hours bouncing along power line roads up in the Oregon Cascade MT’s in my buddy’s 1964 2wd Scout.

Interesting fact: International was the first to build the modern day version of the SUV, factory tricked out Scouts came out long before Blazer’s & Bronco’s ever thought of it.

It was a sad day when International stopped building their smaller vehicle line
