CJ / Wagoneer

Rusted 14 April 2005 23:09:20
 I am thinking about picking up an old 80's Wagoneer and using it for donor
axles for my CJ-7. The axle swap sounds like it is pretty straight forward.
Did they all come with D44's or were there any other axles used? Anything
else on a Wagoneer that I need to consider, any other parts that are worth
using? What engine / tranny / t-case options did they come with? My 258
engine with 215,000 is getting a little tired, maybe time for a rebuild V8
from a Wagoneer if it would be an easy swap.

Any feedback / comments? Thanks

 If you're thinking about a V8, pass go, go directly to Chevy,
that's already sitting in at Civilian Jeep, and more than likely the
upgraded axles, transmission and transfer will be in it, as the old
stuff would have exploded with the first acceleration. You'll buy it ten
cents on the dollar:

If your glutton for punishment I'd reach back further for a Kaiser
Wagoneer, Scout, or Blazer. Some links at:

 You'll want '74-79 for passenger-side front pumpkin to fit your CJ.
While you're at it, you might as well replace the knuckles with Chev
flat-tops so you can convert to high steer (and set your caster). You'll
have to trade in your 5 lug wheels for 6 lug.

 I guess you will have to call me a glutton. 90% of the idea is for the
axles. I don't want to go full width, and I don't want to bother with
cutting full lengths down to size, then coming up with custom axle shafts
now and if they break. That was the idea with the waggy axles. I am ok
with finding new 6 bolt rims, that is an easy one. I see full Wagoneers
going for $400 - $500 I was hoping that I could use the axles, maybe the
engine, and parting the rest if there is any value left.
