Great to hear you're doing well man! Missed overland expo this past year, but will hopefully see you in 2025!

You're not going to replace the bearings and seals in the back of the spindles?

We recently drove the entire range west of Quartz Mountain to Mt Scott through Rosevelt. Was a great trip.

Did your box in the center of the dash go back in? I just installed the same winch on my pro xp and mounted the solenoid in the same spot and the box hits it when I tried to drop it back into the dash?

Good on you, but not for me. Getting rid of full mud coverage and going back in with half mud coverage. Wires exposed and something else to corrode that plastic does not offer. Did you by chance think about moving your entire front axle forward with the adjustable arms 1/4 of an inch?

Great video - thanks for sharing Did you have any clearance issues at full stuff by not chopping the fenders? Did you find anything to fill the holes in the stock fender where you drilled the pins?

Awesome video, we took lonesome dove the opposite direction in a tundra on 35’s. Had a wrangler and gladiator bet each other we wouldn’t make it up the ledge😁. We did. Super fun place, we’ll go again. Cut our teeth out there.

I'd like to see how you mounted the pistol holster

Howdy, its been about a year now since the re-gear hows everything holding up? What gears did you go with? Im thinking about revolution or spicer/Dana. Any other thoughts you can share? Thanks

You keep pulling on the steering wheel to get in, you are going to flex the dash enough to break the printed circuit board in the dash. Put a grab handle on the windshield pillar, USE THAT TO GET IN AND OUT.

It's a ~40 year old vehicle, of Course everything is wore out. Engine likely needs Everything. Might want to look at the rod bearings while you're in there. If you are not all-in, just put it back together & sell it. You could investigate a 5.7L Mopar swap, don't have to go all the way to 6.4L. Any swap will be expensive though, unless you got a 'free' motor. Lots of info online on FSJ engine swaps. PS: Just the radiator alone for an LS swap is $655 + shipping. "Oooh an LS swap is Sooo Cheap"

I hear your reasoning for keeping it pure, but I guess it comes down to what you plan to do with it? LS swap is hard to beat if you want power and reliability, better mpg and easy replacement and upgrade parts. The original engines in the Wagoneer are just pretty much made up of other Chrysler, AMC motors depending on the year. I’m in the middle of a 1987 Wagoneer LS swap. I had the same dilemma you are having. Even worse, I’m in California and it’s gotta be smog inspected. Everything in my GW was tired and needed major attention. After adding up all the costs involved the best route for me was to buy a complete car and use everything from it to build a better GW and pass inspection. There are tons of old, cheap rigs out there perfect for a LS swap. I bought a 100,00 mile 2004 Yukon Denali with a 6.0 for $3,000. It’s AWD. Took everything out. ECU, harness, smog equipment, exhaust, cats, motor, trans, transfer case. I got everything I needed except maybe gas tank and radiator. At this point it’s almost all in the Wagoneer and hopefully firing it up next month. By the time you buy the parts for the stock motor, rebuild it, rebuild the tranny and transfer case and maybe put fuel injection to make it more reliable you’re gonna be close to the same price to an LS swap. And the fact that you are doing the work is even better because the labor is the most expensive part of the swap. Anyway I like the videos and Iooking forward to see what you make of your Wagoneer!✌️

there's a roof top tent going to be set-up.. love the setup

Wanted to know if you considered getting metal spacers and longer bolts to install the bumper? Curious if that option would work here?

Ryco instructions. different color wires on connectors absolutely suck.

It's been a few months since you put these in - what are your thoughts on them now?

Where did you get the mounting bracket that attaches to the bumper? My master kits included one is too small and the light hits the winch so I can’t lock it in place!

My wife got me the kit for Christmas for my X3. I peeked at the instructions and put it back in the box while dreading the job. Your video helped a lot even though it’s a Polaris. I think the install is basically similar. Not a lot of help on KZbin.

Well now I'm regretting the recommendation so many have repeated on the forum... I bought 2 left & 2 right fronts. I guess the reasoning was they are longer for more protection in the back

What size did you go with?

I should get on my '70 Commando. I have a Pirate Jack front disk conversion set.

Just got a Pro 6 for my 392 as a gift. Have always wanted a light bar since i was a kid. Anywho. After looking at reviews for bars on Jeeps i am debating on keeping. I use more on road and for speed vs offroad right now. How as the windnoise been on this 392? I live in a snowy climate, so i am regular at the carwash a couple times a week, how does it do in a car wash?

Fun to watch. I’m doing an LS swap in my 1987. Just too many issues with the tired old motor and the upgrade isn’t gonna cost me much more than rebuilding the old boat anchor. More power, more reliability and better mileage and easier maintenance. I’d like to see you do an LS swap on yours. It’d be nice to see you do it.

Good timing- I have a classic Wagoneer I am finally getting around to working on myself. Hopefully you won't regret keeping the OEM drivetrain 😄

The Small L Bracket 5:16 where does it Mount on the Rok Blokz Mount? Does is Mount in Front or Rear(U Mounted Rear), because I am Checking the Mounting Position of the L Bracket, Look like it has to Mount In Front if the Main Bracket.

Do those struts raise the hood up further than the prop does?

with that open bed, how much dust gets into your decked drawers? Is it bad?

I have the 4500 pound winch I'm putting on a pro r and just like mine when you mounted the winch on the mount it looks like it will pull down once it enters the fairlead instead of going straight in and over the top of the spool. Do you run it like that or were you able to change the direction of the rope? any issues?

What kind of roof rack is that? Do you have a sky one touch?

No need to jack the axle up before install?

I want to see the install on the driver rear with all the filler vent relocations....

Wagoneers can be a big pain in the butt project…but they’re super cool! Happy to see another one get saved! This will be fun 🍿

Where did you run the battery wire through the firewall?

Goldens best pup's

I really enjoyed using my deck system, but I don’t think the efficiency justifies the extra 240 pounds that it weighs when I removed it I started seeing about two more mpg.

That’s a nice and clean looking addition that I’ve been thinking of doing to my Gladiator, but it’ll be interesting to see how much dirt/grime will build up behind the MOLLE panels and getting it cleaned out. Also, I know it’s “early in the game” and you’ll probably rearrange things as you adjust to the new kit, but may I suggest relocating your ARB compressor to either under the passenger seat using something like the Epic Adventure Outfitters mounting kit, or mount it onto the firewall under the brake booster behind the fender liner like Brad at TrailRecon typically does?

Looks like a great way to organize some gear.

Possibilities are endless with MOLLE panels. Looks sharp.

It doesn’t take long to add up weight. After finishing the suspension install I will be taking the beast wagon to get a weight checkup. 😀

Tried this a year ago and gave up, the instructions suck. Thanks to your help I just did it today in 2 hours. Thanks!

Understand the challenge. We use the truck scales near us a couple times a year. Our JKU grew heavy, quickly, and was the primary reason for a lift (springs, brake upgrades, etc.). Steel bumpers, winches, skid plates...larger tires... Goose Gear in the back, wiring to put in power ports. (I'm thinking of using more aluminum in a future Jeep.) What we carry, we use. We know the weight of almost everything we bring along. Next to space, it's the most precious commodity we have. Thanks for sharing.

Time to upgrade to a Power Wagon

Well done video

Great video. Crazy how fast weight can get out of control when you aren't paying attention. Hit the scales with our Jeep and teardrop and we were shocked at how fat we got 😅

And now, if Jeep just got rid of those two extra doors you'd be set.

I never understood the popularity for most of those items, and some you didn’t remove. They are heavy and semi-permanent. You lose the “modularity/functionality” of having a truck that is half Jeep. What would weight savings be if you went with softopper and Coleman ground tent? Lose that silly rack and roof tent.

To much money to throw arround. Back in the 80's, Bare bones CJ5, Cooler with Sandwiches, water and a 6 pack. Small Tent, basic outdoor gear, Sleep pad, tarp, Tiny gas lamp(Battery today) Small gasoline stove, Stop by the road and get a cord of firewood for 4$. Today i'ts basically the same gear, a bit larger truck. 2 Burner stove. Camp chairs, Folding table. And the heaviest is the 12 Ft Starcraft on the roof rack when fishing. One of the must have is a 12Volt fridge freezer. Awfull when you run out of ice

Chrysler garbage anyway. No one would buy one

thats what happens when you turn your rig into a glamper. shouldve thought about weight before you spend 20k accessorizing your barbie jeep. just sleep in the bed on a matt like a real man. 5700? youre still 2000 too heavy.

This must be the old version, The new version has a check ball valve that mounts to the fender on driver side
