Figured its time to start keeping a list of what it takes to keep my jeep on the road. As a kid I grew up bouncing around in the back of a CJ-2A which has turn into an irrational love for rusty old jeeps. I dug a 1950 WIllys wagon out of a field a few years back and have been working on getting it back to life. Realizing that this resto/mod project was going to take a while between finishing school, beginning a profession, and starting a family I decided I needed a running jeep in the mean time.
I picked up this 1985 Wagoneer near Denver about a year ago and drove it a few hundred miles back to New Mexico, slightly nerve racking mission but made for a good roadkill type experience! Since then its been my daily, some mild wheeling and trail driving on local forest roads, and family camping jeep.
