Wow even better! Did you restore this yourself?

It hasnt been really restored (yet). Its more of a 50 footer, original paint is a little rough. What I have done to it myself is replaced the engine, was blown when I got it, upgraded to 3/4 ton 8-lug axles with a shackle flip in the rear for lift, razor grille conversion, larger fuel tank, custom bumpers and rock sliders. Also did some interior mods.

This Wagoneer is a little deceiving because they never made a 4-door SJ with wide track axles and fender flares. This was converted to a wide track when it was new by a dealer out in Cali. Only the J-trucks and some of the 2-dr Cherokee's had the fender flares.

89 Vette

12 Yaris 3dr L 5M

Still have the Vette, but loving the Yaris. It reminds me of my '81 Tercel (Turkel), but much, much better. Cars have come a long way in 30 years...
