1988 Jeep Wagoneer

sad day, but this thing is just not getting used anymore so might as well be sold to someone who will use it.

I have had this Jeep for over 8 years. The body is rough, but it is ready to take you pretty much wherever you want to go.

Shows well over 200K, but engine was replaced at 178K with an engine showing 45K miles, though this engine does still smoke some, but runs good.

Tranny is original but shifts fine and I have added switches for more control on gear selection (you can disable the auto completely and hold first gear)

T-case-231 with AA HD tail shaft and Terra 2-low
Tom Woods rear shaft
8.8 rear with 4.10's, welded spiders, disc brakes, and diff guard
d30 front with 4.10's, Detroit locker, 297 shafts, and diff guard
Suspension is a blend of Rusty's 3" coils and 2" spacers
RE adjustable lower arms
Rusty's adjustable upper arms
RE HD Trac Bar
Rear leafs are Rusty's HD 3.5" with overload spring sitting on 2" blocks (very little axle rap due to the overload spring)
Tires are 5 33x12.5 Swamper bias plies-have ~70% tread mounted on gray rock crawler wheels
XJ Nation T-case skid and gas tank skid
Has 2x6 tube steel welded in place of the factory rockers for rock sliders
2x4 tube rear bumper with receiver hitch
homemade front winch bumper bith tow points (very high clearance and light weight)
Has factory ac converted to on-board air that works very well, and has an oiler to keep the compressor working (no tank but was never needed if you rev the motor up to ~2K rpm-fills as fast as my garage compressor)


Beefed up factory tie rod
Homemade sway bar disco's

Body has been beat on but is solid for the most part. Fenders have been trimmed and factory front flares have been remounted higher up.
Doors have been made lift off (unhooked wires and lift them off)

has decent cd player with newer speakers (got to have the tunes)

It is ready to wheel and has proven very reliable. I used to drive it 70 miles one way over to the Two River's Jeep Club trails and wheel all weekend long then drive it back home and it never left me stranded.

Price is $2,750 obo (price does not include the pictured winch)

This can easily be parted out for more money, but I just don't have the time or desire to dismantle it (put way too much effort into building it to take it apart)

Thanks Sean

Wife and I are busy with the little one and atving and camping in our free time (which isn't near enough).

selling this to upgrade our camper to a toy hauler
 
Kids and new toys, always lead you down a new path of undiscovered memories. Sad to see ya sell. good luck and hope to see you and the family in the future..
 
Oh New Bob, you will

we will have another Jeep before long. Just don't use this one enough to have it sitting around.
Thanks bud,
Kyle
 
Rev Den has seen my Jeep and wheeled with it, so he can testify to what it is and what it is capable of as has SeanR and SpongeBob. Also, unlike Garrett with the Jeep he was selling, I can tell you the complete history of my Jeep from the time it was first sold to a friend's grandparents in Florida, to then changing hands to said friend's parents, to then his hands, then to me over 8 years ago.

I paid $800 for it from my friend in stock condition. I then put over $5,000 worth of PARTS into and did the work myself. It could easily be parted out for more than I am asking.
