Wheels are the stock aluminum 15” x 7”. (See photo of one of the wheel/tires) Driver side mirror from newer Jeep. Installed passenger side but drivers side needs some fabricating to match holes. Mirrors look new. Chilton Manual & original owner’s manual. Used tailgate window lifting arms/gear mechanism OEM highlift bumper jack. What is not perfect: All four leaf springs were replaced with four new springs to get 4” of lift to make room for the new tires/wheels. Minor rubbing on front part of the wheel well if on a sharp turn while at the same time having one front wheel up (ie curb) & other front wheel down. Front of wheel lip bent in some to help with clearance. If new owner plans to take this out four-wheeling, this will need to be addressed. The paint looks excellent but does have a few minor chips & scratches here & there. There are some surface rust bubbles on a small area on rear tailgate and some rust bubbles on the front corner next to the front bumper (see photo) and on passenger side rocker panel (see photo). The replacement fenders & hood scoop were painted to match the rest of the vehicle. The rear fender area shows some slight warping where the fenders were welded on & so look good but not perfect. Also a small scratch about 1 inch long on hood by side of hood scoop. Passenger side floor air vent sealed shut & dash knob removed The lens cover to the fuel/temp guage is loose and needs to be glued Front dome light cover missing. Dome lights do not always turn on when door opened (sticking door switch?) A few small chips on Front Windshield Some chips on front wheel well lip paint Small dent on top of drivers side roof with paint chipped but touched up Small area of paint on front passenger side fender shows some tape lines from touch up. The tail gate window does not work and is currently permanently secured in the up position. I have a used tailgate window lifting arms/gear mechanism that will go to purchaser, to fix tailgate in future. Chrome strip on top of front windshield missing, replacement should be easily found at junkyard Metal strips in cargo area were removed. Planned on putting down wood floor but never got around to it. Remanufactured carb has an automatic choke but it is not connected. I am not very good with carbs and didn’t want to mess with trying to get it set right. Should be easily connected and adjusted by someone who knows what they are doing. I just let the jeep warm up for several minutes before driving. Headliner was replaced about 8 years ago but just noticed it has small area coming loose. Cruise control does not work One cab clearance light not working This Jeep has no Air Conditioning (it was removed) Rear window defroster does not work Do not have spare tire the same size/height as the current tires on the jeep, but do have the old spare that was originally with the Jeep. Spare tire holder under the jeep, was removed. You really have to see this Wagoneer to appreciate how nice it is. It definitely turns heads. I would have never dreamed of selling this after spending so many hundreds of hours working on it as well as putting thousands of dollars into it. FYI: the hood scoop makes this Wagoneer look just plain cool… Your wife will NOT want you to purchase this Jeep because it is a CHICK MAGNET! I have tried to list as many things about this Wagoneer as I can remember. Adding up how much I have paid for the big item parts I could remember, total up to over $8000.00 Dollars! This does not include the literally hundreds of labor hours & many other parts I have purchased & installed. Please call me on my Cell @ 830-832-4154 to set up a time to see this Jeep in person. This vehicle is sold as is, no warranty. Buyer responsible for picking up/transport of vehicle. This vehicle is for sale in the United States Only. No buyers from outside of the United States.On Jan-29-12 at 09:55:34 PST, seller added the following information: In starting up the Jeep the last couple of days, it clicks at times and then starts on the next try. Maybe starter solenoid starting to act up? Also, I had not driven it in a while down the highway with the windows up but did yesterday and there is some air whistle at highway speeds.....so some air leaks around door seals. It starts right up but because of no choke, you have to keep your foot on the gas just a little, until it warms up. Hooking up the choke and getting it adjusted correctly, should fix this. It drives very good. With the bigger tires it has, it wanders a little bit when driving down the road, so you have to pay attention when your driving like most 4x4s with oversized tires. It also doesn't stop quite as fast with the bigger tires compared to the stock, smaller tires. As I said in the description of the Jeep, the back window is permanently in the up position and I have a used lifter arms/gear mechanism to be used to fix this. I had cut the lifting arms and blocked up the window a while back when I didn't have time to figure out why the rear window wouldn't work. I don't know if there is something wrong with the key switch or electric window motor or if the window side channels just need replaced? Here is a website that has all the parts to fix problem components of the rear tailgate window.... http://www.teamgrandwagoneer.com/parts/Tailgate_and_Related_Items/index.html. I was always planning on putting on the Manual window regulator they have listed. I guess the window channels could eventually be replaced....they are $19.95 each at teamwagoneer.com. I really can't think of anything else that hasn't been mentioned in the description. I have tried to be as truthful as possible about any problems. I don't want anyone to think it is perfect, but it is in excellent shape for its age. I have had two potential buyers (on 1/28/12 & 1/29/12) come and test drive it and both really like it and plan on making bids. Just about every time I take it out, if someone sees me get out of it in a parking lot, they say Wow that is nice, and then start asking questions about it. Jim
