$1400

Body not too bad except for rust on both rear quaters. NO rust on the frame. YEA!!!! Gonna drop the gastank skid to clean out any crud. The top and hood have possibly been repainted but can't really tell.

All the windows work (some of the switches are flaky though). PDL don't lock but unlock all except the driver's side front... probably needs to be lubed up. A/C not cold but compressor does kick on. Headline needs replacing, but I've done several of these, so that will be easy.

Runs & drives good with a little oil & tranny fluid leakage.

I had to buy a new battery to get it home. I did notice that when I tried to start it yesterday, the battery was completely dead, so something is draining it down while sitting. That's going to be fun tracing down.

I'm not going to do anything to it, money wise, until I get my WJ sold. I do know that the very first thing is to find some ZJ/WJ seats. I've had 2 Wagoneers before, and the factory seats killed my back.

Future mods that I plan on doing (in no specific order);
2"-3" lift, tires/wheels, edelbrock intake and 4bbl carb, seats, headliner, replacement rear quarters, A/C conversion, .....

This is my 3rd Wagoneer, and my 14th Jeep that I've owned. :-)

Pardon my ignorance...but I was under the impression that Tennessee is south of the Rust Belt.
Does TN use salt or other chemicals on the road in the winter.

Rust is a fact of life for us that live in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia (and other Rust Belt locations)

I am sooo glad you have a clean rig and for a good price. :thumbsup:
