To say things got hectic towards the end of this build would be an understatement! We got it done in time to compete in the Rebelle, and Courtney came back the following year in it (2018) and finished top 10. Between 2017 and 2018 it got several more upgrades including Vintage Air A/C, ARB air lockers and lots of other goodies. Even we were impressed with how it handled, easily going 80mph one handed down the freeway.
It got featured in several magazines, including Peterson's. Then we drove it 1,200 miles to Overland Expo West in Flagstaff and got rear ended on the drive home by someone that fell asleep with their cruise control on. Everyone was okay (the other car was totaled but we sustained only minor body damage and a shredded tire. We ended up finding a great buyer for it who uses it as his daily driver, tow rig and off-road vehicle. We are extremely grateful for all of the companies who believed in us and came on board for the build. This Jeep had ZERO mechanical issues during both Rebelle Rally's, which speaks to how incredible the components from these manufacturers are.
We had so much fun that we have decided to build another Wagoneer. Stay tuned for a link to the build thread!
