79 Dragon Wagon (1979 Wagoneer)

[jolleyrig]

Years ago my wife and I drove this beauty when we were newlyweds. 1979 Wagoneer. Kept it in a shed since the mid 90's and now we have a 15 year old. The wheels in my mind started turning and it's gonna be a beast for this kid. I'll show progress as this baby gets turned into the Dragon Wagon (more on the name later). The pic is me my dad and my son.

Sweet can't wait to see the build

Here's the lift going in. 6 inches. This sucker is solid steel. Has only 65,000 miles on the Amc V8. My wife and I should have gone on more trips in this thing but hey low mile jeep will be good for the boy.

Thank you. I'll post more pics in the next few weeks.

That is gonna be awesome! Lucky kid! I'd really like to find a nice clean Wagoneer or Cherokee as a project. What V8 does it have? 360?

Awesome rig! I've had a few Wagoneers and full size Cherokees back in the day. I can't wait to see what you do with it! Subscribed!

It's funny at one time we had five jeeps in my family. four wagoneers and a willys pickup.

I no longer like you

Seriously, I don't often get jealous of someone else's vehicle, but I have to admit, I am now. 401, 6" lift, straight body...sumbitch, that is gonna be cool as shit!

Had made some real quick fender flares and sliders. Put driver side wheels on to see what it would look like. Decided to not do the flares just the sliders. Going to put the original hub covers on.
