What he said :ylsmoke: The trick is on these rigs (unless you are trying to build something bigger or whatever) to find something that's a direct swap, so that limits a lot. As mentioned other manufactures will require mods, moving spring perches, etc which is great if you plants go SOA or...

After that, I wheeled it a bit again, but nothing crazy, local trips, 100, 150 miles round trip. Eventually my headlights started having issues. They'd be fine for 20 minutes, then flicker off. I'd hit the switch and they'd sometimes come back on, sometime stay off. I replaced the floor...

Well, that wasnt technically an expedition upgrade, but it increased reliability, which seems to be a big part of it. After that I wheeled it abit on the rocks and whatnot, around the local desert, you know, the usual. I started taking it on longer drives, 100 mile round trips (this is a...

psh, you've turned wrenches on half the mods that have been done! You also can attest to the amount of work thats been done thus far.

Thanks! I feel the same way :sombrero: Yes, 73 was 'sort of' a cusp year, a lot of minor changes took place. Interior stuff mostly. But 74 was more of the actual cusp year, when they ditched the closed knuckles, went to bridged rockers, offered discs as an option, and so on and so forth...

So, onto some mods, mostly in chronological order. After purchasing it and doing minor stuff (getting it smogged was a $600 endeavor) like your standard tune up and all that, I started to get it ready for the trail. I put the bumper back on that the PO had removed. Installed working mechanical...

Thanks. I guess I can describe the overall plans for the rig and whatnot at this point. I got my rock crawling and more technical stuff out of the way with my TJ. I played on the rocks, in the mud a little, etc, and that was fun and all, but the fear of busting something on my DD was no fun...

Before I get into all the mods and work I've done, I'd like to make a note that this thread is going to be chronicling the expedition style mods that have been done, and the trips I have taken with the jeep that have lead to those mods, problems I've had to overcome, etc. I've done a crap load...

So, thats how it starts. I know that picture doesnt look like a whole lot, but the truck is solid. One tiny rust spot in the rear passenger wheel well (size of a silver dollar) that had been bondo-d' whenever the truck was repainted, and it ran strong. You can clearly see the drip spots under...

1973 Wagoneer - Full Size Goodness! Greetings!I'm Dr. Marneaus (Andrew). Not sure how much cross-forum traffic there is, but you may have seen me over on Jeepforum or IFSJA. So, I have stopped in here in the past as a guest, just randomly viewing or if some search had lead me here through...
