1989 JEEP GRAND WAGONEER

This was my Jeep Grand Wagoneer the week that I bought it.   It was a Pennsylvania Jeep and had 69,000 miles on it.   It was in sweet condition when I bought it.   It had been repainted once and had no rust at all.   The interior was tan leather and it came loaded with every option.

Like any good Jeep, I had to see how it did off road.  I was amazed at how flexible the suspension on this Jeep was.   It was heavy as hell, didn't have a ton of ground clearance, but it could crawl over anything.   The picture to the right was taken a few weeks after I bought it.  I was four wheeling in the Poconos in PA.   A few minutes after this picture was taken I accidentally caught my exhaust on a piece of metal cable draped across the ground at a trail entrance and ripped it completely off from the cat back...oops.

Just another picture of the Wagoneer.   This one was taken in the Adirondacks.   It was in a sand pit area with some great hill climbs.   It was definitely not a hill climb vehicle.   It was so heavy that it couldn't stay on top the sand, so I could never quite make it to the top.   It was still fun.

This was one of the best vehicles I have owned.   I put over 50,000 miles on it, and it never skipped a beat.   It was recently sold to make room for our Grand Cherokee.   It will be missed, except for the gas mileage.  At about 12 mpg, it was quite a gas hog.   Hopefully the new owner will take as good care of it as I did.
