Dice still has the stock spare mount underneath..... could fit a 30" maybe..... but I'm afraid any tire mounted there will get abused more than if it was mounted on the Wag!

Great score!

I really like that idea..... I have the spare under the platform in my Bronco..... but I've gotten to like the platform set-up less and less. It's just me and a dog on trips..... back seat is getting jettisoned..... we only need a couple of totes and an ice chest pretty much..... lots of room...

Nice Curly! Something like that may be in Dice's future.....

Thanks Tim....... I don't have anything to add....... just wanted to quote a "ton" of photos.......

Thanks Doc! I've been reading a lot of bad stuff about the "new" manual setups.....

Thanks Doc! Definitely will remove the ammeter wiring...... go to a one-wire alternator....... rely on a voltmeter to monitor the charge..... Lockers/LSDs are in the future...... may go to a 3.9X gear with 33s...... if it feels sluggish. Rear window wiring is going to be a priority....... also...

New Years should be a cool trip Tim!..... A '78 Wagoneer and a '76(?) FJ40!...... Whiskey, Banquets, and generic Ibuprofen are always in my duffle..... or ice chest..... Dice has a Turbo 400 trans from GM...... they put it behind all their big-blocks..... simple..... no overdrive..... no...

I love it when a plan comes together!..... {ppffffttttt....... Banquet being cracked open.....}

Been wondering what gear ratio Dice has..... no tags on the diff covers...... don't feel like pulling a cover and lookin' at the ring gear or counting teeth..... Looked for the Bill Of Material number on the front axle..... Found it!..... front of the long tube..... a few inches from the center...

That is great Curly! Thank you!

Thanks!

Very nice!!

First repair!..... Woo Hoo!...... After 48 hours of ownership....... Dice's rear window was stuck down....... wouldn't move at all..... Seller did say that the rear window worked when it wanted to....... only by the dash switch...... the key switch in the tailgate never worked...... OK, fair...

Just bought a "new" '78 Jeep Wagoneer..... 401, TH400, QuadraTrac..... Pretty much a driver, with some minor interior and wiring issues to take care of.

Thanks KYLJR! I would've been happy to find a 360, but as it was I had the choice of two 401s for about the same price in similar condition! This is my first experience with a 401..... I really like how it runs. I'll round up some photos of the J-10.

Thanks Presto! More photos here: http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/188307-Dice-The-1978-Jeep-Wagoneer This one was in Lompoc CA...... just going back and forth to the store....... until I saved him! Haha!

I ran across a lot of Wagonmaster restorations while I was searching..... lots of coin..... but it's like buying a brand new truck! CA and AZ have some fairly rust-free 70s vintage trucks for sale...... at least from what I saw. I'm 56, and not married anymore...... plus I have a couple of...

Bump.....

Thanks Scott! This is absolutely the first time I got "more bang for my buck" on a Craigslist purchase!
