Spotted this at Menard's yesterday. I haven't seen one since the neighbor's I grew up with got rid of their's with the plywood looking sides.

Yup their's was like that but red. Never looked that nice though. Pretty sweet looking Wagoner you have there.

My first Jeep love. Got this probably 7-8 years ago. Was in totally different shape. After a bunch of work it was my daily for about two years.
Eventually my father and I decided on a rebuild as it was overheating(fan too small) and was mowing through starters. Of course that rebuild grew and grew. Needs a fluid flush and some buttoning up and it will be ready to roar again.

It isn’t too wild. 4” spring lift, 35s, j20 steering box.

Best part is the engine; 327 from a 68 camero. Sucker used to spin those 35s before we added the cam and did the rebuild.

Hoping to finish that up this summer but I have a lot of two wheel projects also.

Dream is to get a cj3b one day.

Thats an absolute beauty, don't see too many survivors like this in New England

I my wife and I have had a quite few TJs a YJ and 2XJs over the years. I wish I would’ve kept the LJ. I actually liked my YJ more than the TJs. But my Overland Gladiator is at the top of the list. I’d still like to get an old CJ8 scrambler.
I quit the Jeep world 10 years ago when I bought a Ram. Glad to be back with the Gladiator

A friend sent this picture to me today. She said it was parked next to her at a restaurant.

To each there own, but there's part of me that's sad when good civilian Jeeps (a cj3a in this case) are painted to look like an MB. Nothing wrong with either, but I just prefer admiring each for their own.

Agreed, my favorite is the MB

My '47 alongside my '21. Kinda like choosing your favorite child.....

My profile pic shows one of my oldies, a ‘42 MB “Slat grill”. It is original, with documented full military history. Matching Bantam trailer. I have 2 other military Jeeps, including a rare ‘76 MUTT (not really a ”Jeep” as it was early AmGen production), and a ‘58 M138A1. Guess you could say I have “Jeeping sickness”!!

Not sure why these posted twice! Sorry!

Sold my Wagoneer years ago, and still regret it. Hope to get another to rebuild someday.
