i can almost taste the '75 Wagoneer....
I've been waiting to pick this up for a while now and hopefully tomorrow will be the day!
The PO is an off road legend (they still have articles about him in the popular 4x4 magazines) and has done some really cool things to this Jeep, like:
-an aux 20 gal tank (total 40 gal capacity  )
-aux cooling fan
-OD Qtrac chain
-razor grill
-cherokee bucket seats
-swing away sparetire/ jerry can rack
-inside sparetire, and on and on!
Im so psyched!!! this was his dd and for the last 20 years ive admired it parked infront of his shop.
I cant wait to make some wild journeys in the desert with this thing!!

Tick tock!!!
I worked a 13 hour day today and the shop where the Wagoneer is kept was already closed when i went by to pick it up!
First thing in the morning i am picking up the Green Bastard, from Parts Unknown 
Since im not working tomorrow i plan on taking my daughter to school in the '91 Grand and picking her up in the '75. My dad used to do that to me when i was a kid, it always made the first ride in the vehicle that much more special.
Pics tomorrow!

Mine doesn't taste that great... mostly like Colorado and Texas dirt. and wear safety glasses, 'cause not all of it lands in your mouth. Some cotton in your ears helps when you jerk your head away too.

I think it was mainly the color that made it so cool.
Hurry and get better pictures of your jeep!  |
Earlier today i saw a mid '70s Pontiac C-body painted the same green that made me think of the 914s.
Whether Porsche, Pontiac of Jeep, those bright greens and oranges and blues just hark back to the great tastes of the 1970s

My original response to the topic was going to be " sweet, let us know what it tastes like"..
Also, might wanna clean the lense.. or reset the white-balance on it. lol
