Re: 76 CJ5
I think that '76 was the first year of the D300 Tcase. It should have the
AMC20 as the std rear end, or the D44 as the optional upgrade -- where
upgrade is debatable. There are many that will suggest that the AMC20 is as
strong as the D44 after a few simple mods are applied.

AMC20 as the std rear end, or the D44 as the optional upgrade -- where
upgrade is debatable. There are many that will suggest that the AMC20 is as
strong as the D44 after a few simple mods are applied.

Re: 76 CJ5
I think that '76 was the first year of the D300 Tcase. It should have the
AMC20 as the std rear end, or the D44 as the optional upgrade -- where
upgrade is debatable. There are many that will suggest that the AMC20 is as
strong as the D44 after a few simple mods are applied.

Re: 76 CJ5
Cool on the D300. He's asking $1500 for this Jeep, but I still need to take
a look at it. How hard is it to change out the wiring harness with a new one
from painless?
I have heard that if the AMC20's 2-piece shafts are not properly
re-installed after removal, they are weak. How does this happen? What is
generally the cost of a 1-piece axle conversion? Are the shafts 31 spline?
Are any lunchbox lockers availible for the 20?
