Wide Track/Narrow Track Whats the Difference?

[HighlandJ10]

I was just wondering what the differences between the two are? I have a chance to buy a '77 Cherokee. I currently have a complete plow setup from an '80 J10 would I be able to swap the plow set up onto the Cherokee with no problems. Thanks in advance for any info.

About 10"s :D

I'm not sure on the actual width but widetrack has wider axles then the narrow track.

I *think* the frames up front are identical regardless of w/t or n/t so I would guess the plow frames are the same.... then again, i could be wrong.

frames are the same. axles are wider, and the fender flares.

I have wider fender flares. Does this mean that I have a wide track then?:confused:

correct, you do have the wide-trac.

The differerances you need to worry about for the plow frame is not the NT vs. WT (frames are the same as stated for a given year) but the frames are not the same for a 1980 vs. 1977 the bumper frame horns differ between the single piece and three piece bumper FSJ's , not a big differance but it might make the mounting of the plow mount a non-bolt in affair, you might need to mod the mount or the frame some.

Also, front 1-piece bumpers are longer on WT's. Learned that the hard way.:rolleyes:

The REAL Difference?
Narrow Tracks are cool, but with Wide Tracks, the cool factor jumps off the scale!

Also, front 1-piece bumpers are longer on WT's. Learned that the hard way.:rolleyes:Only on the front right? The 3 pc bumpers are adjustable. Classic design to re-use the same parts for both widths.

From 78 literature, WT on top, NT on bottom - both are Cherokees - the Wagoneer is the same foot print as the NT Cherokee whether it is 2 door or 4 door.
