Jeep Wagoneer Restoration Tips Full Size (FSJ) | The Jeep Farm 

These have increased in value exponentially since this vid. Now 30k is decent. I have a 87,88 and 89. Love em!!! No rust!

I just got my new '77 Cherokee home this week and I can't wait to get started on it!

One of the best down and dirty about the Wagoneer I've seen, thanks! Wish I had seen before I bought my 86. I'm a body guy, but probably should've passed on the one I bought from the rust. But, I love it.

I just bought a 75 Cherokee to restore. This video was helpful, thanks.

Have possibly one of the rarest SJ's, sitting on my driveway, here in the UK. AMC tried to have dealerships in Europe for about 5 years ('79-'83?) before quitting and going home. Not many of the Jeeps sold here during that time still exist, unfortunately. Most of the SJ's were converted to RHD by cutting the steering column under the dash, moving the top half to the right side and running a chain drive under the dash. The one on my driveway had the proper conversion, steering box, brake booster, column, etc all moved to the right side. In addition, as it is an '83, it has the aluminium bumpers, not the nasty chrome plated steel bumpers that peeled and flaked off. As far as i can tell, it's the only Cherokee still registered with the DVLA (UK DMV) for that year. Roof is fubar, but pretty much everything from the rain gutters down is in great shape. The floor pans are amazingly good, for instance. Just have to find someone who can rebuild the roof, and patch a couple other holes (fender, tailgate). Not an easy thing to do, over here, as no one wants to take it on (without a lottery win first)

Gorgeous jeep. Great video

I miss my 70 wagoneer had the 360 auto d20 case. Bought a 78 wagoneer with 401 was planning to 401 my 70. But it ended up in a 79 cj man was that thing scary fast

Excellent truck.

Still my dream car😍😍😍

very good video

Wagoneers are the Bees Knees!!!

4dr with 2dr flares nice!

I love the Wagoneers without the fake wood stickers on the outside.

Wow

We naver has issues with a prestolight or mo turd craft ignition systems but when i put a 360 in my cj7 the ford system took a dump on me. The hei is the best money ive ever spent. Jeeps never ran better with that 360.

“Don’t tells thieves that” hahaha

Any tips to tighten the steering? My Wagoneer with 4 inch lift sways at 50mph, bump steers

So, I just bought an 88 grand wagoneer thats in pretty good shape cosmetically. But its really got me stumped. First of all, it wont idle most of the time. However sometimes out of the blue it will idle just fine, but most of the time it just dies unless theres constant pressure on the throttle. Took it to a mechanic after driving it home and he discovered someone had removed the pcv valve and capped it off. So I bought the valve and installed it with a new pcv hose as well. Unfortunatly it didnt make much of a difference. I know the valve is working because I ran the car with a business card on top of the oil filler hole to make sure its actually sucking air in, not blowing out. On top of this Ive been finding oil in the air cleaner, which is a really bad sign. But ive pulled the spark plugs and they are all dry with no evidence of bad rings. Im thinking the idle issue is probably a vacume leak somewhere but I feel like it could be connected to the blow by somehow. After driving the jeep 2 miles today. I discovered a white substance in the air cleaner coming directly from the oil cap hose. This doesnt make sense since its still sucking air DOWN the oil filler hole, not up(i did the test again to make sure). It seems like the engine has "blow by" sometimes, but not always, as if the pvc valve only works half the time. I tried to join the Ifsja forum a few weeks ago to ask for advice there but it still wont let me post anything. Like it says above im stumped. Anyone know of a forum I can join that will actually let me ask questions? Any help is appreciated.

I've canned peas and brought peas in a can but never seen them grow in an orchard.

Very nice !!! Keep it up and thanks all the infos. Greets Frank

Hey Drew, I recently found your channel and really liking the theme of what your doing on it. I recently acquired (5 years ago) an original (unmolested) '79 Super Chief thats yellow with black accents and I have had a difficult time finding info on these Chiefs. I've only seen 5 others across the country while online doing research and wondering if you could point me in the direction of gathering more info about these models. What I know so far is that they were a California only package that was completed by the dealer but factory sponsored. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to have a 1975 to 1978 Jeep wagoneer with a rebuilt 318 engine with a Edelbrock intake & Holley 4 barrel carb.

LOVE it. I've got a 78 and a 91. question: where in the WORLD can i get another rear window washer assembly? feels like i'm searching for a unicorn horn..

Great info!

AMC Metallic Blue is pre 74. AMC Blue FLAT is period correct for this year.

We have a 67 fsj. Doesnt leak a drop. But we have universal moldings that are too thick so it doesnt leak but you jave to slam the doors and all the body lines dont line up

what is the song in the beginning?

Is that Schwinn sign from Pats bicycle shop in Norwalk Ca?

Dealing with another are fsj. Starting a cj10 turbo diesel project need all help I can get.

Hello, I am looking at a 1986 jeep wagoneer, with 180k miles. Looks to be in great shape, but I'm worried about the miles. What you say that's too many? Also, how reliable are these cars? I'm just wanting one for a fun second car.

Dam....you're a Catahoula man too. LOL

7 yrs ago... is it finished?

What is that beautiful intro song?

Heres a question. Is it worth buying a 77 Wagoneer but it had a chevy 350 swap

What i wanna know is how do you guys know for sure a vehicle has 52k miles, when dashes only went to 99,999 before they clocked over back to 0, ive seen alot of older Jeeps with 30-40-50-60k miles. But that doesnt mean they werent 130-140-150k miles ect

greetings from venezuela friend I had a van of this when I bought it had the 5.2L engine dodge with its 727 transmission, I had to fix the engine was not worth fixing it I went to the importer and I bought a 5.2L model new magnum jeep grand cherokee and dodge ram with ses engine and the same transmission 727 that mid-sized truck stepped on the accelerator and punctured rubber and unintentionally jejeje a lot of strength had that truck with that engine pity that did not take a picture would have shown it as it had more where the impeccable engine goes here in Venezuela most of these jeep have the 5.2L engine 318 in transmission 727 and 518.

What's that mount the Jerry can is on in the back? Can't tell if it's part of the tire carrier or something else

Where do I find the grounds for the tailgate? I spent this whole day installing fresh wires and rear switch, but it’s still soooo slow.. takes a couple of minutes to roll the window up or down.

I have a 79 Jeep Cherokee Chief. I swapped out the 360 for 350 GM and I need to convert the AC hoses. How do you get to the AC condenser on the inside?

Drew uses a 3m woodgrain vinyl sticker called di-noc.

G' day, thanks for doing a little show on the FSJ. I live in NSW Australia and have a 1984 FSJ 4 door wagon with a 360,727 with 170 '000 km,s on the clock. Australia is metric. I m not. Can you please keep up on the restoration on your wagon and do some product testing and evaluations on aftermarket products please if you can. I mean things like window, door seals, lenses and timing covers. I am up to doing the timing cover on my 360 but can't make my mind up on who is the best cover. Bulltear, omix, indy, proform. I don't want to get a bad one sent to me in Australia. Can you do a reseal of the factory fitted roof racks I see I can get a seal, gasket kit for it. Thanks.

What would you guys suggest for keeping water out of the rear quarter panels so it wont rust?

Wish I could send you my 81 Cherokee chief to rebuild. Lol

I own a cherokee 80' and it won't start I've read about and replaced everything electrical or gone ggty it. Idk do really think hei distributor will cause it yo turn over. Because it just cranks but won't start???

Looks like a grand wagoneer to me.

have you restored any 76 wagoneers?

I’m looking at an 81 with a 360 in it with 49k original miles on it. I’ve got him down to $700. It runs and drives , needs work and would be a project but I’m new to the Jeep wagoneer world but would love to have one! Thoughts on price is this a decent deal?

How did you make/where did you find the rear tire carrier? If you made it, do you have a guide?

where did you get your 4in lift?

Where do you get all your parts

What would a guy expect to pay for one of your driver Wagoneers? Typical range?

Where do you have the best luck finding parts for fsj.

what muffler is on the jeep

Spare part of body

Glad you didn't swap out for Fuel Injection see lot of restro getting 100k plus with fuel injection. The idea of a classic is at least keep it in the era of the time which means no computers everything is mechanical why change it.

I have a 1978 jeep Cherokee cheif i want to restore it. Has not been running since 2007

Too bad that these became all but extinct about 20 years ago in Iowa. First rock salt and then the salt brine have finished most of them off around here.
