Nice. Did they ever make a Wagoneer model kit like that? Not to be a jerk, but Chrysler didn't buy out AMC (and subsequently Jeep) until 1986. |

| You Jerk! Yeah but Jeep is still Mopar to me. Never made a Wagoneer. I was searching for something different for a scale build and came across this one on the bay. I also picked up a 1978 Dodge Lil Red Express Pickup Truck kit that I would like to do also.

I'm thinkin a factory installation might be a little easier on the wallet, though. Sorry for the thread jack skullking. |

LOVE the Honcho! There's a 1:1 in my little hometown sittin lifted and on 35 inch shoes waiting for me to try and buy! I sure miss my old school FS Cherokee Chief with a 360, six inches of lift and 35 inch mudders....don't miss the gas mileage though! That's why we're wheelin a 92 YJ, motor's bolted, buffed, suspension's lifted and stuffed....it's also a daily driver too!

Outstanding ebay score! I have far too many FSJ's sitting around collecting rust, but wouldn't part with them to save my soul! Looking forward to following your build. |
