  • We recently caught up with Bert Garrison of FSJ Overland at this year's Overland Expo East. Bert has not only restored this 1978 Jeep J20 pickup truck but he has turned it into a trailworthy overlanding rig. Check out this edition of Overland Vehicle Walkarounds and let us know what you think.

    Love the old school twist on "modern" overlanding!

    Also thank you for leaving the stock drivetrain in her always nice to see the rigs with the old 360 or 401 with the T18

      Those old motors were beasts. I've always wanted to drop a 401 into an M715.

    A labor of love, and it shows. Hard to find a vintage vehicle with better engineered upgrades and additions. Rock on Mr Bert!

    What makes this Jeep so cool is that there's no Chrysler DNA.

    I met this gentleman at the Overland Expo, he gave me a tour of this truck and it looks even better in person - one of my all-time favorite rigs.

    That's a really nice truck. You can tell a lot of thought went into the build. My Dad had a 78 Cherokee Chief, the platform looks very similar to this J20. Nice video, thanks for sharing!

    • @jeepsblackpowderandlights4305
      @jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 ปีที่แล้ว

      Theyre similar, but the J10-20 has a much longer wheel base, wider frame spacing and axles, and Dana 60 rear for a J20, the frame is also 2x thicker on a j10 and j20 than a cherokee

    Is J20 an 8 lug differential ?
    What is the difference between J10 vs J20.??
    I'm about to buy one, which is a 8 lug, long bed, 4x4..
    I found it down here in Mexico City...

    • @BlueRidgeOverlandGear
      @BlueRidgeOverlandGear  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      J10 is 1/2 tone, J20 is 3/4 ton. So the J20 will have 8 lug axles.

      @outdoorssmith5454 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      X Mo the j20 has a Dana 60 in the rear and a heavy duty Dana 44 in the front, they are extremely capable. The j20 is basically the 1 ton version, they also made the j10 a 3/4 ton I believe or 1/2 ton not exactly sure but there all really bad ass

    • @mattmopar440
      @mattmopar440 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Axles on a J20 are HD44 front and 60 rear with 373 or 410 gears more than enough to get the job done offroad as long as your ok with sticking to 65 or below on road
