Using the "Attachments" feature, you can only load a limited number of pics. And after 30 days you can't delete them.
Do it this way and it is much easier to manage. -> Howto host, resize and post pictures

I've been looking at some other rides and I tell ya, I'm lookin for a another one here real soon. xj that I'll go nuts with. My wife is already showing some concern for me. I've heard about them jeep owners. Guess I've been bitten. Gonna sure be fun, tho

Well I'm 54, we had another vehicle and bought the '04 Jeep new. Later I bought the '97. Then in 3-09 I joined this forum and wanted to learn about Jeeps, but I have to figure out computers too.

I really like this forum. Lots of answers here. Thats good since Im a newbie and all. I like browsin the pics to get ideas. I would also like to find an old wagoneer maybe with the wood side. I hated em as a kid, now I would to get my hands on one. Saw a pic of one in the owners pics. May go with the xj first tho.

Bonesdad,
Boy does that thing ever appear to be in good shape.
A rig of that vintage, in that shape... I would do nothing to it other than maintenance... well, maybe I'd try and track down some center caps for the rear wheels, but no way I would swap those factory "mag's" out.
Nice find... I had an '89 with a 360... not nearly in as good a shape as yours appears to be... love the full size wagons.
I lived in snow county whan I had that rig, it was unstoppable.
