Re: Automotive myths
Here's my almost all original 46 CJ2A it makes the trek to 10,000 ft on Sonora Pass almost every summer at least once. 26 percent grade in a couple of spots.
Original 134 Cu. In. 60 HP Hurricane 4 Banger and 5.38 differentials, you do not get there very fast, or carve up any twisty/curvy mountain roads with it but gets there eventually, it's all about gearing!
I put 11" Jeep Wagoneer drum brakes on it several years ago, they are like having power disc brakes and sure help coming off the pass. The old 9" dia. factory center pivot non-binding brakes were pretty scary to say the least.
