i have 3/4 ton axles, huge brakes, and plating... but it sure aint a 3/4 ton truck.

you can make one though... get a long bed MJ and stuff it with a 6.0, 4L80E, one ton axles and a **** ton of plating. get ready to spend 2-3 times more than an actual 6.0 chevy would cost you used.

a powerstoke? How about a 12v lol

He was referring to the gas 6.0 Chevrolet engine...

Unless you know of a way to bolt a 4L80E to a Ford motor.

Duh, can't argue with my logic. If you're going to take the time to turn a damn XJ into a flatbed why not do it right with a 6bt. Chevy 6.0 is gai

Good luck fitting a 6bt into a xj without blowing the firewall into the backseat. The 6.0 is a damn good motor.

On the legal side a xj couldn't tow enough to need a set of dually wheels.I mean the gvw is like 6k and the old school 1ton duallies 10k was the lightest they was rated up to 15k depending the truck.
