So whats the issue with the np205? Is it just the restriction on gearing? Is this jeep still open diff?

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #51 on:** May 07, 2012, 09:16:18 AM »

did JJ's sell?

wildwood · « **Reply #52 on:** May 07, 2012, 01:52:03 PM »

mark and I looked over this quite carefully and then came away and did the research......

Body and chassis and suspension and cage ....100%

axles turned out to be Dana61 at the front which was done on the cummins rigs to get 3.07 gearing bastard expensive difficult to modify for deep ratios and lockers

Engine was a 318 which is as popular as a Chev 305

Guy had put a 360 cam in so unless other work done you got yourself a dog that'll go bang...... And it wasn't running right...

205 is bulletproof and can handle big block monter horses as a mud truck...... If you get yourself a trouble prone chain drive diff hampered 203 and just use the strong range box you then have 2:1 in each box or combo 4:1. Just need 799bucks to AA for the adapter.

So it was a no..... But worth a bit less and I think it might sell.......

And JJ sold his

Good Job you knew what you were looking at then or could have been an expensive mistake

Indeed could have been sucked dry and fooooooked sideways!!!

The low range ratio of the 205 compared to a dana300, was killing the crawl ratio. This was evident when driving it.
Who builds a truck and doesnt know the r&p ratios of axles? Really needed to have the covers off the diff and tooth count.
Some things didnt add up until further investigation on tinternet.
As to the front axle, i couldnt get a 100% confirmation of it being a D60, but somethings didnt add up.

An excellant base truck, but with some grey areas in the driveline, that will need to be addressed. All fixable at a cost, but.....

We in the UK don't crawl (strike one) the Buggy is so low geared it makes the engine scream, but due to import duty it had to have its tongue out at 30MPH.

"low range" was impaired in comparison to 1st low in the lardie. Its nice to be able to go slow and controlled and have available torque to climb etc.

In all fairness, i think 3K for what he has got, irrespective of the axle ratios/61?? aint that bad. If you want a Project, that is?

Its a really well built truck. With issues that can be sorted for that money. Time and Money needed though..

Not sure why someone would want the np205 tc and engine though?
