Jeep Wagoneer barn find! Huge Mistake?

  • Is this a big mistake, or the coolest way to get into a Jeep? Today, we're "rescuing" this cool but sort of forgotten truck. It's really just a project a my friend, Kris, couldn't get around to, and I have always liked the lines of an old Waggy. My dad had a 79 as the family truck before the suburban came along, so there's some connection there, too. We'll get this rolling and running and stopping and maybe try to avoid catching on fire. I'm pretty sure a woodgrain hammers build is in the future, but for right now, I'm going to enjoy it as-is. It’s a new Grand Wagoneer, or at least it is to me.
    As you watch this, we'll have this on the trailer rolling into Moab for Easter Jeep Safari. It's going to be a hoot.
    Hope y'all enjoy,
    David

    This is going to be a great build/renovation project.
    How are you going to be able to balance the necessity to 'Fix' things with the inclination to 'Fab' things on the Jeep? 👍👍
    Maybe 'Fab & Fix' is on your next set of Merch !

      That’s a good question. I’m strongly tempted to gut it and build it straight away, but there’s an equally strong desire to repair, tune, and learn from it. I’m so spoiled by the suburban and all it’s gear. This truck has a lot to teach me.

    Bringing a label maker to a barn find is either next level or you need to seek help 🤣
    Glad the Burb is now semi retired. Gotta keep the square bodies around longer.
    Can't wait to see this build. A proper wheeling rig that isn't a Gladiator 🤘

      And a very active retirement, too. You and I are thinking the same in good wheeling rigs.

    FSJ FTW! At least you have the factory windshield, doors, Quarters and tailgate options left... Mine came with just fenders hood dash and floorboards... One just never can quite tell how manufacturers option out their rides till he or she sees it with their own eyes... Can't wait to see how you take your build! Thanks for sharing!

      Yeah, this is going to be a lot of fun. I feel like it’s a rare combination of factory options.

    Good God man. That thing is a perfect two track rig. Don't me wrong, between the wiring and the body panels is an abomination but now I want it.
