1978 Wagoneer Build.......Slow going .. Up dated 4/16
so i ran across a deal on craigslist a couple weeks ago. i couldnt pass this one up.. (you guys no how much i love the FSJ's) Tongue
i found the ad back in Jan. emailed him but didn't hear back until march 3rd Surprised
went up and looked at it.
it is a 78 wagoneer limited with almost every factory option. AC, cruise, Low range, AM/FM/CB.Tilt colum, on top of that he added a rusty's 6", 35" MTR's with 60% tread. new head linner, New diamond H4 headlights, new ploy gas tank. and its got an ARB in the rear. Got it for $900... I sold the am/fm/CB on ebay fOR $200 , hub caps for $107, and and rear lock cover for $38Big Grin....Bringing my total buy down to $555. I gutted the interior for some roll on bed liner.

RE: Got another new jeep ;) please move to built up
Looks good... I have seen a few FSJ's up here that were lifted similar stance to that one you got... They look awesome, almost makes me think of building an FSJ instead of my XJ!!
