86 Jeep j10
Just finished the engine swap and repaint of my wife's J10. Been about an 18 month project that I did myself (with a break over the colder months last winter) and really enjoyed the work, it was a fun project and turned out pretty good, she's pretty happy with it!
 I replaced the tired old 360 with a 5.3 engine and transmission from an 02 GMC Yukon. Replaced the old t-case with an NP241 and the rest of the driveline has had all bearings replaced and oils changed. A/C, tilt cruise, tow switch and it all works. After the swap was finished I sanded everything down to bare metal and put a nice coat of SPI epoxy on it and finished off the project with SPI pure white base and Universal clear. Body was rust free but had a lot of metal finishing on the bedsides that took awhile but it turned out pretty nice and has a minimal amount of filler. Before  After  Under hood Before  After  Dakota Digital Dash    Raptor bed liner     Didn't do this myself, one of just a few things I didn't personally do.  She should be good for another 30 years I would think! If you are interested in my build you can find more detailed info at: http://fsjnetwork.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5484

Re: 86 Jeep j10
I am in pain over whether to get a truck or a Wagoneer. Love these FSJ.

Re: 86 Jeep j10
Love, Love, Love the J10/20's, almost bought one in 1985 and should have, probably would still have it.
You did a real good job!

Re: 86 Jeep j10
That turned out great. I love those trucks and Wagoneers, and the first gen Cherokees. Rust has really taken a crazy amount them though, I don't know when the last time I saw one that was rust free in person.
