So are these things from the Jeep stable. Just looks a lot like a Cherokee/Wagoneer.

yes ruff they have Jeep heritage

They are a kaiser truck and were used for carry amo to the troops in the korean war

yes they look a bit like a old chero but have 1 1/4 ton running gear

dana 60 front and dana 70 rear as stock diffs

They are just begging for a big block V8 and 38" or bigger boggers

The guards are just begging to meet the sawall and they way they are designed it would not be obvious

Check out this video of one in action

go to http://www.jpmagazine.com then follow the link to the video lib then look for Travis Hickman’s ’68 M715

they way they have designed the website you can not link straight to the video :(

they fit 38.5" or 40" tyres stock without any cutting of the guards.
And the running gear will take it happily.

Need to do something about the t-case as well.
Not low enough....atlas II 4.3 and a klune sounds good.

love them

love to have one of them, but cant afford 2 jeeps
how different are they to J20?

Bill the J200 has dana 44 front and rear is a hard top has a more civilised interio and has less tough looking body work

Sure is a big truck for only dana 44's

i pass one of those things nearly every second day on my way to work - or at least i think

Hey Bubs,

I wonder if it is a J2000 they do look a little similar from a distance



very different drive line and a little different body work

dont supose you have any details on the one you see on your way to work do u ?

Bubs what colour is the one you pass?

the dana 60 and 70 in these is a piss poor excuse, the 60 front, has coarse axles and pinion, closed knuckle front, weak hubs, and if you search on pirate, they give this axle a caning everyone who has asked about the M715 60 front has been givin the newbie a$$ whoopin they deserve, all the clearance of a D60, all the weight of a D60, all the strength of a hilux diff (actually more, but not much) the big block and big boggers, will not only destroy the transfercase NP203, but also that weak assed rear dana 70

did i mention the big fat drum brakes all round

AWESOME

i would not be proud if toyota rolled out a POS like this

it's an np200 not a 203
the axles are stronger than anything toyota has every produced - I think ?

A 30 spline Dana 44 is 1.31" in diameter. So is a 30 spline Dana 60 although the ring gear is larger. A 35 spline Dana 60 is 1.5" in diameter and therefore much stronger

Front Dana 60 is Full Floating, Hypoid Gears, 5.87:1, 30 Spline, Closed Knuckle, SUA, 13" drum brakes, 2 piece carrier

Rear Dana 70 is Full Floating, Hypoid Gears, 5.87:1, 23 Spline, SOA, 13" drum brakes

at least they are full float, have huge ring gear....ah well, there are fuck all of them in Aus anyways

hit a nerve did i!!

toyota gear is equivalent to dana 44 8) but better cause its lighter and japanese

We are currently building one at my factory,we have ripped out the 6 and have replaced it with an 8. we are currently looking for a open knuckle 60 at the moment, so if anybody knows of one give me a bell.we have a 14 bolt to go in the back.. i say it will be about a year before the truck is on the road
cheers MC

mark - where are those crap good for nothing stock axles going then????

I may be envouraged to take them off your hands for free and transport them to the nearest boatyard to be used as anchors.

no fees of course
