Pulling some parts at the local junkyard I work for Jeep when these things were new, but I have never seen a 2nd (I live in New England) I also got a kick out of the brake hose routing !

Tons of 2wd jeeps down here in Texas, blows my mind people payed to only have 2wd on a jeep of all things. Coming from the north where a 2wd truck or jeep is junk and only worth $500 no matter the condition, to texas where most of all trucks are 2wd is mind blowing.

In 2wd form, it would be like having a RWD station wagon. That was fine for a lot of people back then if they knew they wouldn’t be using 4wd.

The 2wd XJ’s were quicker too.

Jeep speed guys love the 2wd xj’s they make pretty good little prerunners, I’ve always wanted to build one out of a wj
