Vehicle Description
This 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer originally from New Mexico was
purchased in 2016 and underwent a frame-off restoration that took
4.5 years to complete. With all matching-numbers, every component
and accessory were entirely disassembled and rebuilt to new
specifications. Some parts were replaced with new, quality parts
only if absolutely necessary. This included but was not limited to
the interior components like door-lock actuators, power-window
motors and systems, and a complete under-dash overhaul. All lights
were replaced with new. The headliner no longer sags. Soundproofing
was added throughout. The engine bay and all the components were
completely rebuilt, as well as the complete drivetrain and
suspension system. New leaf springs custom-made to the original
factory specifications were installed. All brake and transmission
lines were replaced with stainless steel. It now has an all
stainless-steel Flowmaster exhaust system. The frame and all
chassis components were restored using the proper POR-15 technique.
All rubber parts, weather stripping, seals and hoses were replaced
with OEM or aircraft-grade. All vacuum hoses were replaced with
thick-walled silicone hoses and are color-coded. The body was
straight, and no filler was necessary. The yellowed plastic drip
edges were replaced with fabricated stainless steel that matches
the original plastic. All electrical wiring, switches and harnesses
were redone and are in new wire looms. At the end of the
restoration the vehicle was painted, and it has extra coats of
clearcoat so that future buffing may be done without worry. The
exterior wood vinyl used 3M material. The factory-original radio
still works.
