Like Ken, it will be an Antique in 10 months

Both AD's are under control, just a few minor issue's on each, here's the 82' Wagoneer limited I pulled in today. So easy, all parts are still available, just a bit of soothing and she's ready! She's a pretty beast that gets 16 MPG, and a paint job and clean-up will make her a classic!

Where ?

I see no pix......

 

Must be that new "clear coat" paint... You see right through it!

 

Oh, those pics!!

Sorry,
I still can't get the routine down to upload to this site. Does anyone know of a good jeep parts house? I need some body trim and Master rubber kit. Really just cosmetics. I'll be hangin' ten out by Nate soon,

!? What's missing here ?!

RUST ~ I don't see any gaping holes in it..... .

That one looks fully loaded , nice truck .

I assume a V-ate ? hopefully not an AMC 401 C.I. ! .

 

Nope,

A good old 360ci AMC, I put a battery in her and checked a few things. She's tired but all works. That is except the rear window, can't get the rear window to drop on power. Can't figure out how to open rear tailgate without window down. It turned over, so she's not froze up. But i want to drain the old fuel out first before a serious start-up attempt.

Flashlight, did they change math since I graduated?

Hey Flashlight, I'm not sure I'm following your math here. Now granted, I got my education in west Tennessee, not in the beautiful hills of east Tennessee, but the last time I checked, 1982 plus 25 years made your Wagoneer an antique in 2007 (I had to kick off my shoes to help me count)!

It looks like a real solid vehicle and a lot of fun to boot!

As far as me hitting antique status? I believe I qualify!

My Bare feet were muddy!

Ken, by cracky yore right! I was running barefoot upin' the Holler and my feet got muddy! I couldn't get the number right on accounta' all my countin' toes were not showin'. The license plate man said no Antique tags till its 30 though.

Today I'll drain out the old gas and put in fresh, the cylinders all got a shot of mystery oil yestrday, maybe she'll just fire up. Thanks HHR I'l look for them. Haven't found a Jeep supplier as good and thorough as our host!

Ken, I only got 19 counters since I lost that little toe in the big Turkey shoot!That'll mess a guy up fer life!

 

Consider

Either changing the oil with Dino based 10W-30 or at the least , adding a quart of ATF to what's there and of course, cranking it sans ignition until you get oil pressure.....

Long dormant engines should be re - awakened carefully .......

 

So you'll never be able to count to 21?

 

If your ancestors inter-marry only with 1st cousins you could easily get to 24.

 

All right Now Texas boy!!

Don't fergit If'n it weren't fer Davy Crockett and the 31 Tennessee squirrel hunters at the Alamo, Houston would not be named after the second Tennessee governor...Sam Houston! .....And I shant be remindin' ya, Sam kicked some butt after Senator Crockett layed it on the line fer youn's! And then the other Tennessean...Sam "Remembered the Alamo"! Sound right to Ya? I love my sister's you meany!

Hi flashlight,

nice toy you picked up there! I also like those "old" SUV´s. What´s the advantage, if you get an antique status for your ride? Do you get any tax reduce?

Here in Germany we pay a reduced tax on historic vehicles, which is 190€ a year, independently of Cubic inches or horsepower.

 

Elky,

Yes here in tennessee you pay a one time $75 fee for an Antique license tag and it is good for life. You are not really supposed to use it for a daily driver, only to shows, or special occasions.

Weekends are when I have the time to drive my truck anyways - but does that include Friday? I re-registered a 1953 plate for my truck and it is nice to know that it is the last license it will ever wear. $75 is a bargain.

Ooh BTW, I found this: http://classiccar.chooseyouritem.com/classics/files/15168000/15168181.html

Seems pricey,

Take care,
Terry

 

I hope he gets it! I've got two in the barn looking for cash. Btw, you can drive your truck anyday that's nice, or your working on it. If you are taking it somewhere to be worked on it etc. Sheriff does not get too picky here. Don't get caught with a load like Ol' Chebby or Wolf puts on it. Doubt they'll believe that manure is going to a show...well, maybe A GMC show. Ba Ha ha!

Flashlight

 

Ha, LoL - yeah my brother wants me to send him a picture of mine with a bed full of gravel. Mabey photoshop would work....hmmm
I agree it not very strict, and most officers around here would just check out the truck and maybe run the tag to see if I was pulling a fast one or if it belonged to me.
Cheers,
Terry

 

Saaaaaaaay what?

How's that line from Tombstone go? "Why, Flashlight~ Does this mean we can't be friends anymore?"
