priya I absolutely love that sx4 eagle my dad had a collection of them and nothing I mean NOTHING out performed an AMC eagle in the snow. So long as you keep your vacuum hoses to the transfer case from popping off they are insanely reliable 4x4. Put a 4 inch lift on in the winter remove it by spring an a great year round car. Every year it was a bout a 5 hour swap for in an out with the lift kit springs larger tires ect but just amazing get around jeep alternative

Yeah almost 100% of them were full time 4x4. Some were 4x4 optional and some were 4hi-4lo with a vacuum switch. If the hoses fell off the switch on ours it would kick into nuetral. They are amazing cars huge full steel frame beasts! The design was so bullet proof when amc went under Jeep kept it as their engine an trans set up for many more years. Is yours a straight six or the 304 v8? We only ever ha one v8 it used more fuel than the six an had less torque.

Ok, probably going to get flamed for this but here goes!
2004 Lexus RX330 - daily driver (it's snows for at least 6 months a year here).
2000 F150 Super Cab 4X4 - slightly modded - Used for parts hauling and pulling. Probably going to upgrade to a 3/4 ton so I can pull the vette on a car hauler.
2009 Toyota RAV4 V6 4X4 - Wife's car.
And of course the 77 Blue vette - My summer cruising, horsepower fulfilling, and NEED FOR SPEED vehicle!
