Hello all, here is my 88.5 sam JX.
435k miles..
1.3L block, 1.6L 8v head with a calmini midrange cam and stronger valve springs.
Hawk TriY header, Weber 32/36DGAV, stock intake ported to match adapter. Block is bored .040" and milled down for 13:1 Compression. Bosch Platinum plugs and stock ND ignition. K&N air filter replacement in stock filter box.
The drivetrain is stock save for the transmission which was replaced about 200K miles ago and is in serious need of new bearings now and the clutch has been replaced 3 times I think since I bought it... Stock gears/case, open diffs.
15x10 KMC wheels with 235/75 dunlop mudders
Earlier this year I pulled this rig out of a 7 year retirement. I had forgotten how much fun it is to drive.
Right now I'm just working on getting it back to running and driving right, rebuilt the front knuckles and got the steering all fixed and aligned so it drives nice now.
Next things on the list:
New front seats, some body work, bigger alternator, transmission/tcase bearings/seals. front bumper/winch, lift springs and new bushings, new driveshafts and a locker for the front axle. Not necessarily in that order but that should all keep me busy for a while at least.
This little truck has amazed not only myself, but all of my friends that have gone on rides with me. I'm looking to pick up a few more of these trucks along as I can get the people around here to sell them...
