Guidance needed...

Haven't really any put any effort towards continuing my axle swap lately, and am just a stones throw away from removing the rear axle from the donor J20. Which thats is priority #1 right now so We can have use of at least half the garage again. With that in mind, last night I got to thinking that I'd like to put that project on the back burner once the axle is pulled, and get the Wagn back to road worthy condition. Which in turn should give me a lil more time to get the axles worthy to be installed, and give me the satisfaction of hearing it run once more. Which course of action would yall take...

If I understand what you want to do correctly. I would make the Waggy roadworthy, then build the J20 axles how you want. That is a swap I would love to do to mine. Lets see some pics if you have any.

Thank you for your opinion. Just got a pic of the Wagn and the J20 donor frame itself, do not have any pics of the current condition.

Do it once and be done with it. Get it runnin so you can cruise around and enjoy it while you build the axles.

Thanks, I look forward to getting it rolling again. One of the first things ill do is a TFI Upgrade I believe. And replace driver side window flex track.
