I started searching for rides that came with with oem lockers and found some strange ones. some Mazda MPV and Pickups, Audi 5000, VW Vanagon 4wd, some Montereos and Rodeos. I've got a friend with a Morris Minor woody wagon body sitting on a Samurai chassis with 33". He calls it Morzuki. Sits 4 with the camping gear.

I owned a Dodge Raider SWB. It had a rear LSD, and was about the same wheelbase as a jeep. I ran 32's on it.

I bought it as a salvage from a Rancho yard for $2200 that included all the parts necessary to rebuild it. It came with an auto but they agreed to supply the parts to convert it. I put a 5-speed and new 2.6L motor in it. It was a fun project. The yard owner offered to give me a 2.4L FI motor and I passed. That was a mistake. it was a better motor.

Cool car and great off road..

This is a cool solid front axle toy that I found. I almost missed it because it is painted camo.

I'm surprised you haven't made Joe trade Jeeps and claimed the V-8 TJ!
