I realize they couldn't. Emissions and all that. But Jeeps should have stayed small and simple like they started. A CJ of about any flavor with the AMC 258, 4 speed, and D300 is darn hard to beat for general use. I want a CJ6 with a 4.0L, AW4 or TF999, D300 and D44/9in Early Bronco axles on 35s. That's my dream....
Im with you there, had a 2wd Laredo with a carbureted 4.0L. Took it places you could get a a M1 tank stuck. Little skinny 15” tires and auto transmission. Best Buy I ever made.
