This one like most US models was a military tug.
I think it would be cool to buy one and turn it into a pickup like the ones sent downunder and though ya'll might like to discuss it

I KNOW!!!! I'm sad I missed the first day of it but it's not like I would be able to buy anything there.

Have seen one once and know one that was for sale earlier this year that is a project.
It looks like a cj8 with a separated tub.

I like the model , but not the square headlights!

Ugly fenders and grill.

The transfer case is locked in low but doesn't have the guts to make it 4wd. D20 I think.

Nah, I'm sure the tugs are NP208 locked in low with rear wheel drive only. The Dana 20 was long gone by then.

There were quite a few sold in Australia, as I recall. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Australian+CJ-10 - I wonder what the appeal is. A crude and dinky cab on a short J10 chassis.

I kind of like it...but then again I also like Gremlins and Pacers and other weird ugly Vehicles. I guess I just like the unusual.
I was in Anchorage when the Alaskan post office was selling off all their CJ-8s for $2,300 and I really wanted one and nearly bought one but like this one it wasn't to be.

I found this about the tug version
"Power came from the same Nissan naturally aspirated SD-33 diesel as the civvy versions, and it cranked out a whopping 81 net horsepower and 138 lb-ft. A Torqueflite 727 automatic and NP198 transfer case backed up the Nissan. The NP198 was a fixed-yoke, rear-output NP208 permanently locked into low-range. It had the front output but no shift mechanism, inside or out. Up front, a

Forgot they had the SD33.

Forgot they had the SD33.

Just as gutless as the LD28

Back in 03/04 my Dad put a LD28 under the hood of his 63' wagoneer.
It sounded awesome and driving around town was fun , but it was no beast for towing and going down the highway!

There are two super rusty ones down here on Naval Station Point Mugu. I started a thread for questions on them but can't find it. They have a D60 rear which is kinda cool. They have a CJ5 wheel base.
